- Victerius 5y agoUS gov sites may not represent the entire web, but the platforms that the entire population uses to access government websites, does. People don't use a different browser for the State Department and for Facebook. The data presented here is actually reflective. If anything, it's conservative. Not many teens are looking up tax forms or passport renewal forms (their parents do it for them). And these young users are less likely to use anything other than Chrome and Safari.

- Liquid_Fire 5y agoIt's currently nighttime in the US, so that's not too surprising. But it doesn't mean that the overall fraction of visitors from outside the US is that high.
- amitport 5y agoThe people that surf to US gov sites (even from outside the US), IMO, are not a very good sample of the world's web users.
