Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average.

The trendline suggests this is just the start.

I was kinda wondering if X was representative of 10.x releases but then it didn’t make sense to me for it to be so much higher than the newer OSs either.

    That’s what I thought at first, too, but i remembered that these statistics are typically gathered via browser machine id reporting, so…

    Safari probably reports as “macOS“ and I bet Firefox and chrome report as “Mac OS X“
