Under "Visitor locations right now," 1% are coming from Graceville. As far as I can tell, that's either a town of 4k in Australia, 2k in Florida, or there are two Gracevilles in Minnesota with a few hundred people. Any idea what's up?

I'd guess either some ISP/VPN is masking to that location, or a block of ips incorrectly map to that spot (perhaps by the library they are using to determine location from ip)

From the data at https://analytics.usa.gov/data/live/browsers.json , Microsoft Edge has more than 2x the users of Firefox (322,890,632 vs 143,040,483).

That makes sense considering Edge is a default browser on the most popular (desktop) OS, and this is from a random distribution of users.

`totals.browser` contains user agents (or something similar).

Why are there (personal?) email addresses in there as well? Who sets that as their user agent?
