Now the same poll for Chrome. And then, though results are probably not "representative", raise the question of the accuracy of the numbers given by Google Analytics…

@IzzyOnDroid Google announced they're going to block privacy add ons, so I'd need to change the responses to include "would like to" ...

How convenient, uh? "99.9% use Chrome, according to GA". Like in the former GDR, where 99% voted for "the party". We'd need absolute numbers then to compare. Had them in the GDR in 1990, so I knew 5 of the 3 people who didn't vote in my city district 🙈

@IzzyOnDroid yeah, I wonder if they measure visitor numbers vs analytics results

It's like saying your customer base is only the people who filled out your customer feedback survey

@IzzyOnDroid yeah, a social media survey isn't representative or reliable, but I'm still interested to see what people do

I also wonder if blocking is adequate to stay out of Google Analytics data sets
