Not sure who is using it here (there are a few), but most that I have seen say not to worry - in this case you can trust them.

And the other ordinary members of the forums don't see your info, they see their own. Only Mods/Admins have access to that info.

To get round this many pages will query the browser that opens it and obviously this info can then be written to the page if the developer decides to. I guess some people think it's a nifty little thing to have.
