Guess I was wrong …
Last month I heard a rumor that it was possible to find out the resolution of a browser window and I found no proof of it. Well, I was wrong.
I wasn't entirely wrong, but via SlashDot, a report on Earthlink's browser that does include that information. I checked my own log files and yup, there it is:

Also from the logs, it looks like they started using this on or about April of 2000, so it's been going on for some time now.
