yeah the 1920 by 920 finding matches what I keep hitting browser chrome quietly eats the height and layouts built for 1080 start clipping

Only showing the most common values means that sizes of non-maximized windows are lost in the noise. It would be nice to see a cumulative size distribution that would show the percentage of viewport widths smaller than x, for various values of x. Then a developer could easily see that if they make the content e.g. 900 pixels wide, what percent of users will have to scroll the viewport left/right.
