- It flags StatCounter’s June–August 2026 readings as implausible and excludes them from averages and the verdict.
Field notes
The page distinguishes three measures—page views, an opt-in survey, and browser telemetry—and warns readers to compare their direction rather than their absolute levels. It marks a period of implausible StatCounter readings with a pale line and says those values are excluded from its averages and verdict. The visible table provides monthly figures back to 2020, and the page states that its material is reusable under specified Creative Commons licenses.
