Your comment reminds me of this:

Fat car can hit an innocent skinny car on the other side of the road, in case of an accident.

As always, such statistics should be treated with caution.

What methodology is used to calculate Statcounter Global Stats?

Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally.

Source: https://gs.statcounter.com/faq#methodology

It is assumed that there are more than one billion websites worldwide. It is therefore not exactly unlikely that a Linux user will not access any of these 1.5 million websites.

Furthermore, it is quite common for Linux users to use tools such as Pi-Hole that simply block such statistics scripts. This means that these users would not be counted even if they accessed one of these 1.5 million websites. For my part, I also use computers with Linux that I don't use to access websites. Some of these computers don't even have access to the Internet. They are therefore not counted either.

Finally, let's come to the most important point. Percentage values say not much if you don't know the actual number of users behind them. Let's assume, for example, that 3.5 per cent Linux users were detected in December and only 3 per cent in January. However, if the total number of users was higher in January, it is therefore possible that more users were detected in January.

I'm using Firefox too. Maybe it's fault of different screen size.

I'm sure they will fix it, but for now opensource.org looks like shit on mobile. Broken text, buggy header, and stuff like this.

Actually it was not removed. It just wasn't on the ecliptic plane before standardisation in 1930.

Yup, position of zodiac constellations has changed, thanks to axial precession
