Operating systems are parsed from the User-Agent string of each incoming pageview beacon at collection time. Pageviews are aggregated daily, network-wide, across public opt-in BYOViral sites only — private sites never contribute to this dataset. Because the measurement is pageview-weighted live traffic (not a panel or a survey), heavy-browsing platforms are represented in proportion to actual usage on the network.
The network composition affects the mix: participating sites currently skew toward desktop-heavy content audiences, which lifts Windows and Linux relative to global mobile-first benchmarks.
