I’ve been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump “Unknown”.
Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that’s pretty niche. I’m wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?
I’m (deliberately) being listed as Windows, because some websites are cancer when they smell your Linux.
I honestly don’t remember what happened, but I remember raging at it about 7 years ago, before changing the user agent and since then I’ve always done it like this.
Oh really? This is the first I’ve heard of this. I sometimes have to spoof being Chrome though.
Disney had a broken tracker that didnt made the page load when the agent was Linux
I do the same, often set to windows 10 Chrome because websites will silently shittify themselves based on you using Firefox and/or Linux
