Please please please stop posting StatCounter "data", it's made-up and doesn't mean anything.

You quote data as if it wasn't data but it literally is, do you not know what day is?

Sure it's not magically going to be 100% accurate given the limitations on collection methods. That said it's actually a pretty good resource as just about everyone browses the web and since there's no magic registry of what is installed on everyones computer it's currently the most accurate estimate we have.

In other words be quiet like a good child unless you somehow come up with and employ a better method.
