Hacker News Reader

I find it funny how the stats get skewed by developers or people coming from HN (83% from HN at the time of viewing).

Windows, the most used OS in the world is listed under "Other" when looking at the Platforms pie chart. Pretty funny that in the HN community Linux is more commonly used than Windows, at least from the people that clicked on the link.

View on HN

Given Android is not listed, I suspect the Linux cohort may just be mostly mobile.

Does this count people with uBlock origin? I'm just one data point but here is my user agent:

Yes, also before the HN peak it seemed that windows was not so common actually. Which kind of makes sense given the product.
