As a consequence of not identifying their host OS properly, Ubuntu browsers fail to identify it correctly in all cases but one (stock Firefox).

As a result, 1/3 or more of Ubuntu users are not correctly recognized by online statistics.

There are two possible solutions:
Properly, promptly, and consistently package the latest versions of every popular browser for Ubuntu with correct useragents, or
Get upstream browser developers to use uname to set host OS useragent information.
