Given how many rounds of captchas I have to fight through, I'm not sure if these numbers are accurate.

Funny how I get captcha looped with my adblocking in firefox but you can just get through easily with a few puppeteer plugins controlling headless chrome.
Average Firefox experience right here
It does feel like being a second class citizen in a lot of ways. But I press on. Chrome is adware and safari is often just as broken.
You have to fight, for some bots it might not be a real fight anymore...
That's why the human traffic numbers are so low. They just get frustrated with the CAPTCHAs and close the tab. So maybe accurate after all???
Trivial to bypass though, the big players just haven't gone that far yet.
Captchas are part of the traffic. ;)
