Want a whole list or just the top 10? When you get an update to any browser plugin, all the browser info is sent, often along with your OS version, SP level, etc. From Adobe Acrobat to your anti-virus, they are all telling things about you to their developers. There is no way to know if they choose not to keep the information, or to delete it right away.
Heck, when you surf, you spew much of the same information that these guys are complaining about
: IP, OS, browser, plugins, etc.
It is amazing how much info is spewed on every page request, and how much more can be found by running a small javascript on the page.
