Unless you're spoofing your User-Agent string, servers still know what browser you're using. You don't need to be running client-side analytics scripts for browser market measurements.

Sure, but that's not how statcounter or most advanced analytics packages work.
Your browser doesn't make a request to the analytics server if you're blocking it, so while the content server might know the user agent, the analytics server generally doesn't.
