Breakdown:

By device type:

Mobile 53.7%

Desktop 44.1%

Tablet 1.9%

By browser:

Chrome 48%

Safari 36.2%

Edge 6.4%

Firefox 2.8%

My personal conclusions:

Tablets remain a niche product, Firefox is dead, and Edge will be dead in a few years if it can't eat more market share, which it won't.

It's not dead. US gov sites do not represent the entire web.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this shows that in the last 90 days 5.06 billion visits came from 31.3% Windows while 1.1% were from GNU/Linux. If we assume that both groups visit government websites equally often, then for every GNU/Linux user there exist (31.3/1.1) = 28.5 Windows users. Scary stuff.

> If we assume that both groups visit government websites equally often

My pattern matching experience from real life tells me that this is unlikely....
