    So, Linux doesn’t have a general icon and ChromeOS’s icon isn’t used, what could be an ideal icon/logo for the Linux Kernel, I wonder?

    WhatsApp recently pulled support for some older iOS versions and devices, a lot of ppl threw them away and got Androids instead(as they should), I wonder if that’s related to iOS’s decrease.

    Guys, we’re losing big to mobile devices. Although I’m glad Australia is still going strong at 12% desktop computer.

    My guess is the increase is due to two factors: Linux based vms scraping PH content to create tensor training models for nsfw AI image generators and individuals in the U.S. visiting behind a vpn that’s registering to the client as a Linux device. I’d visit the link but I’m not behind a vpn.

      Or, and hear me out, what if they actually have good engineers and know how to sanitise their analytics? And at the risk of sounding crazy, what if the reason that the Linux share is rising is because it’s genuinely becoming more popular?

      Crazy talk, right?

      I don’t know why your browser would report itself as a linux browser just because it’s behind a proxy or VPN

      User agent logging is often done by running javascript locally on a machine, so the vpn would just pass the javascript to the local machine on which it would be run, so the data wouldn’t be effected that way.

      Sometimes TLS fingerprinting is done to try to identify bots and not sure if bots would be included. They probably would be included because if they were blocked, then the javascript catching user would never be run on their machine, although I’m unsure of whether such bots would run useragent fingerprinting javascriot yo try to blend in or block it to avoid unneeded processing.

    Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.

    Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That’s crazy. Don’t just look at the 5.1%.

    I’m sure it’s heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.

      This chart is fascinating, although it’s unfortunate that so many states don’t have a specific category assigned to them. I just can’t help but notice how many weeabo degenerates (I am part of said degenerates) must be living in Wisconsin, and Oregon being furry makes me wonder how many furries live there.

      The pornhub blog is surprisingly good reading every once in a while. They take their data analysis seriously.

    Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

    (On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)

      iOS is only massive in the US, everywhere else, Android has a huge market share.

      Anecdotally, I only visit PH on my phone and I use incognito mode sometimes, which I’m just guessing would count as a unique visit. Probably a lot of people are doing the same thing, and globally more people run Android than iOS.

          I really don’t see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.

      I have to ask: What kind of browser is Android? Do people watch porn from WebView? Wouldn’t that just be Chrome?

    This is the monkey’s paw Year of the Linux desktop. I know we’re wankers but didn’t need reminding!
