- AnimalMuppet 6y agoDefacto browser monopoly? What is Chrome's market/usage share?
- amsully 6y agoIt looks to be between 60-70% depending on what data is used. https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php
- staplers 6y agoTracker/analytics data won't be correct for Firefox or people using privacy-centric browsers as they inherently block that. I think it'd be hard to get a real number without polling a lot of people. A lot of people assume Chrome has the monopoly based on looking at false analytics.
- lucasmullens 6y agoFirefox definitely sends its user-agent to servers, so wouldn't server-side analytics still work?
- staplers 6y agoPerhaps, and this is likely the case with most users. But there still exists many users with extensions disabling fingerprinting and such.
- DreadY2K 6y agoTheoretically, server-side analytics could use the user-agent strings and other headers in the request to have infallible analytics. In practice, a lot of server-side analytics in practice rely on third-party tracking scripts (like Google Analytics) and other such practices that get blocked by tools like Privacy Badger, etc.
