Wouldn't this include all traffic? As long as it's enabled Windows and Firefox are constantly sending statistics in the background. If this is measured by # of requests, then this would make sense.
- dom96 6y agoDoes this mean that Firefox is sending statistics in far greater frequency than Windows? Either these stats are wrong or Firefox is sending telemetry far too frequently to rival these sites (as Firefox usage is simply not high enough otherwise).
- input_sh 6y agoNo, it's that Windows doesn't just use *.microsoft.com for telemetry, but also Bing.com, some .ms domains, live.net, windowsupdate.com, akadns.net, and many more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-windows-1809-endpoints https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-wind...
- jeffbee 6y agoThere's no chance that telemetry on the browser with 4% market share would get you anywhere near the top 10 busiest sites.
- ta8964586 6y agoThe popular domains metric is probably measured through the 1.1.1.1 dns service and firefox recently defaulted to resolving domains through cloudflares DoH service, so popular domains may be biased toward firefox users. Browser popularity is probably less biased as it would have to be measure by HTTP requests to sites using cloudflare.
