Yes they do? All modern browsers are updated automatically with the OS. It's true that not everyone is on exactly the same cadence and there are always stragglers, but if you look at your second link the time to decay to near zero for any given browser release is almost always two months from the release of the next.
- zarzavat 3y agoPlenty of people don’t update their OS, either out of laziness, fear, or just because their device is no longer supported on the latest version. Sent from my iPhone running iOS 16.
- YoshiRulz 3y agoIt's a horrifying thought, but the truth is... some people don't upgrade their OS very often. Or at all. Or as the sibling comment says, they use an Android phone or iTrinket that isn't getting updates, limiting what apps can be installed.
