As mentioned/hinted by ancarda:

a) You missed Belgium. (Common oversight, due to the size on the map.)

b) Google's stats have something of a US-centric bias; https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/ is a little less biased (which also shows Belgium and India in the lead).

Thanks for that link, it's good to see more measurements.

Would you elaborate a bit on APNIC's data having less bias than Google? As far as I know, Google is quite popular worldwide, with the exception of China, so measurements taken on Google servers should give decent accuracy for every country.

Do you know how APNIC get their data? I'm happy to switch over to it if it's more representative and accurate.

From what I've gleaned, the use of Google ads catches the use case of people who don't actively use Google -- based on the delta in metrics between Google's stats and APNIC's, I would suspect that Google isn't quite as popular globally as you think it is (but their ad platform is!).
