O.P. Internet Hiding
This is gonna seem really strange and odd, however. When you visit a website, and a counter is display, is there a way you can hide yourself from this counter, so it doesn't add +1 visitor?

Not possible, since the counter simply counts the number of requests for the page.

It highly depends on what kind of counter. The most simple counters simply count every page request (thus including refreshes). Other counters count by IP only. And thus, if the counter has been programmed to ignore your IP, it will not increment...

RE: Internet Hiding
If it is a counter on one of your own pages, you can change it for a more sophisticate one or reprogram it. If you don't own the counter, then there is nothing you can do.

Thanks again

RE: Internet Hiding
If the page requires a separate image to be loaded in order to increment the counter, then you could block its URL...
