Exactly. It seems the less people know about web tech, the more third party stuff the add to a website. And then they wonder why the visitors drop off and hate the sites. Some website got so bad, that they crash mobile browsers due excessiv

Chrome and Safari are used by most users (on mobile and notebook/PC). Both should be included in such benchmarks. Firefox is kind of popular on desktop, and IE11 is still pretty common if you look at corporate users.

Sadly, it's true. KDE was the last old and great desktop. So many things went wrong with the v4 rewrite I kissed KDE good bye, and moved to GNOME just to be let down again with the switch from v2 to v3. Nowadays Win7 is the best deskto

True, all airlines I used last week had such a warning, to turn it off for the whole time on board of the airplane, even while still on ground. One of the airlines last week shorted the warning to "Samsung 7 phone". Bad PR for Sam
