Isn’t it more likely to be low grade android devices in poor countries with outdated government, banking, and education portals? I doubt kernel hackers make up

Isn’t it more likely to be low grade android devices in poor countries with outdated government, banking, and education portals?
I doubt kernel hackers make up a large enough demographic to skew the metrics...
- toomanybeersies 7y agoAndroid is separate from Linux in the report. Developers and tech people make up a significant (if not majority) share of Linux users. A lot of popular Linux and developer related pages are HTTP only. I did a quick Google search for some Linux related tasks, and found plenty of sites that don't use HTTPS. e.g. man7.org, linuxhowtos.org, linuxcommand.org The report does break down HTTPS traffic by country, and you're right that lower income countries do have a lower share of HTTPS traffic.
