>all of these sites have analytics.
The analytics is most likely blocked by common adblock rules. And present-day Firefox users are quite likely to be advanced users, running adblock.
Thus Firefox ends up being under-represented in the analytics.
- ohazi 7y agoDo as blockers typically block the user agent? Or have people just gotten lazy and only bother looking at JavaScript generated analytics logs and not actual server logs? Or have user agents devolved to the point where every browser lists every other browser and you genuinely can't tell them apart anymore? Seems like you should still be able to identify the browser without a fancy analytics package.

- marcosdumay 7y agoSites that are directly taking your money should care. Or, at least, I would expect them to, but they don't seem to care at all.
