 Not only does wp_check_browser_version() slow down load times in the admin
 panel, it also collects data about people using my site. I haven't been
 able to find anywhere saying that this sort of information is collected by
 api.wordpress.com on EVERY WordPress blog with no way to opt out, but if I
 missed that in the agreement please let me know.
