naver? The people who used to run Yeti? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Since 1999 Naver Corporation has been a diversified Internet content service operator now headquartered in Seongnam, South Korea.

They have ran several UAs: Yeti, Naver, NaverBot, dloader and now Blueno including various other UA string elements.

Hey, they really are back.

previous sighting: April of this year--at which time I must have poked a hole, because that request was blocked due to wonky headers.

second-to-last sighting on this site: ... uh ... never? Odd that they should seem so familiar when I haven't set eyes on them since July of 2014. Cursory log-checking reveals that they've always liked stylesheets.

Name recognition. "Naver" has excellent branding.
