Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average.

    AFAIK they get their data through crowd-sourced browser header data. And I really doubt any significant number of people are manipulating that.

      https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg has over a million users on Chrome alone. It’s possibly more common than you think.

      “Looking at browser headers” usually means they’re parsing the User-Agent string, which all kind of people (and bots) spoof for all kinds of reasons. There even used to (and might still) be a Firefox extension that would generate random ones.
