[Wikitech-l] Browser stats - OS as well?
I just rediscovered this marvellous page: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportClients.htm Browser stats from a very mainstream, top-5 website, pure and unbiased! One interesting question missing there: OS breakdown? Windows/Mac/Linux/various mobiles/other? Would it be feasible to list these as well? - d. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

One interesting question missing there: OS breakdown? Windows/Mac/Linux/various mobiles/other? Would it be feasible to list these as well? Do you mean http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm? :-D That's PRECISELY what I'm after, thank you! Or perhaps you mean browser/OS combinations? I think that'll do for the moment, though the combined figures would be of interest :-) The problem these numbers solve is that most browser stat reports are a pack of lies at worst and hideously biased at best. Wikimedia sites are stupidly mainstream and long ago went beyond being the province of geeks, or even web savvy users. Even idiots use Wikipedia. So the actual stats from an unbiased source with no interest in the fight are a ridiculously valuable commodity. - d. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] Browser stats - OS as well?
Since some sites have regexes that assume that major version is one character long, the Opera developers had to resort to reporting a 9.x version in the old place, and append the actual version later. Good grief. That's one of the stupidest things I've heard in some time. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
