I wonder where the widely-cited 3% marketshare number comes from.

Does it include dilution from mobile? China/Russia-mandated browsers?

Even with that (Chrome probably is below 50% if you count that way), 3% is lower than I’ve seen.

I know things vary site by site, but still. 3% is not coming from the planet I live on, even before you start filtering out bot traffic and click fraud (both are typically detected as Chrome).

I haven’t done this, but if you want to be fair, you should also add a weight based on likelihood to pay or be an influencer in a western market. That probably cranks the percentage up even further.
