Hi Oliver,
This is really neat, but the absolute user numbers are a bit confusing. Is there any chance it could also display pageviews as an approximate percentage? It's clear that, say, 2.1m Chrome 40 on Windows 7 is a lot more than 517 Chrome 40 on Linux, but because there's no total given it's hard to normalise this and understand what proportion either represents.
Secondly, am I right in assuming that the "pageviews" column is *sample* pageviews, so we have a "real" total of approximately 2.1 billion Chrome 40/Windows 7 pageviews?
Andrew.

Hey all,
A perennial request from WMF engineers/product people, as well as third-party developers, is an idea of what browsers people are using so we know what we have to support on the frontend side of things.
With Legal/Analytics signoff and +2ing, I've built an exploratory tool at http://datavis.wmflabs.org/agents/ which allows people to look at the most prominently used user agents on our projects - editors, readers, mobile, desktop, whatever you want, we've got it!
(unless you want a pony or something. I can't help with that, I'm afraid.)
To answer the most obvious FAQ questions (read: the ones that have already come up ;p):
"Will this be run regularly?" Not as of this moment. At least, not by me. This is an ad-hoc report in response to an ad-hoc request.
"Who do I go to if I want that to change?" Analytics Engineering has this task on their backlog already.
"Can I have it divided up by [country/operating system/what colour socks the users use/etc]?" An ad-hoc report in response to an ad-hoc request; adding additional dimensions/granularity would require additional legal review and further runs.
