  It’s Mozilla’s own numbers. data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

    Didn’t know they have those data. Some c/dataisbeautiful material here!

    Some things are really interesting. I’d expect more people with extensions, but the majority don’t use. I’d also expect more linux users, but it seems the popularity among linux users is about same level as the general users. It’s also interesting to see a reasonable amount of 32 bit systems

    I’d say it’s not clear if those numbers include FF forks that still use Firefox auth and sync or not.

      By default it does as they send baseline telemetry to Mozilla servers, unless fork or individual user disables it. That said, many privacy oriented forks do disable it by default so they wouldn’t be counted.

        AFAIK most forks disable everything they deem privacy-problemstic, which I would assume includes all telemetry.

      Those look like the numbers of the telemetry endpoints, and that’s the first thing most forks remove.

      I never finished downloading Netscape from the university gopher because my roommate took the phone cable. And they only had 24 connections available to the while place.
