The launcher is basically a web page, from what I saw, so the counter is simply some kind of java/flash element that theorically could be run on any web browser.

Considering that i'm not the most savvy in this kind of things, is it possible to isolate the counter (basically getting where the launcher is loading it from), to run it in any web browser to make sure we don't miss the event?

Or maybe SE should just put it on the lodestone...
