Test the StatCounter Global Stats useragent detection

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?

    because some websites are cancer when they smell your Linux

    Oh really? This is the first I’ve heard of this. I sometimes have to spoof being Chrome though.

      I do the same, often set to windows 10 Chrome because websites will silently shittify themselves based on you using Firefox and/or Linux
