About this ranking

StatCounter counts page views on sites using its tracker, across every device type. So this table shows how much of the web is viewed from each system, which is not the same as the number of devices sold.

Older and newer versions of a system count together. Phones and computers sit in one table, so a country that browses mostly on phones shows a high Android or iOS share.

Is Windows still the biggest?

On computers, usually yes. Across all devices it competes with Android, because so much browsing happens on phones. The table above shows the current order.

Does this count apps?

No. It counts visits to websites in a browser, so time spent inside apps is left out.
