    Browsers are mostly identified by user-agent, or not? If so it isn’t surprising because people like to fake that. In the least to shut down such silly messages like “please use chrome/edge”

      The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

      OS is also identified by user agent, so it’s no less vulnerable to fake agents. In any case, I’d wager the vast majority of users even on Linux use unaltered agents, though this isn’t something that can be backed up one way or another because there are no numbers for fake agents.

      If more than 0.1% of people do that I’d be flabbergasted
