I can't speak for others, but the reason I flagged it is that the number is untrustworthy and absurd. This is not an isolated case, Statcounter has these ridiculous errors on a monthly basis on one stat or another, before they silently fix whatever was wrong and the numbers swing wildly the other way. A discussion of a Statcounter spike is as fruitful as a discussion about the output of an RNG.

It actively violates users and shoves trackers and malware up their wazoo. And you're stuck in the cage with the abuser. There's no way to turn off the fucking ads.

The Google Chrome team ought to be ashamed for what they've done.

I'm hoping the AI era serves Google a much-needed comeuppance.

Or perhaps some big IT departments are switching the employee base from Chrome to Firefox because it now has better ad blockers?

A mass of end-users switching browsers on their phones or home computers doesn't seem to line up with the reality that I'm living in though, though.
