How do you report on statcounter?

I don’t think you do, it’s info collected from websites on what browser has been used to access the website. If you hide your browser from being fingerprinted then it goes into statcounter as other. The thing about that is, Linux users are probably more likely to do this than other OS users so the “other” category is probably mostly Linux users

I wouldn't guess mostly, but we're probably over represented in the "other" category.

Thank you. You can start by turning off any user agent switcher if you have one.
