            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I checked statcounter and was surprised how useless it became. The data for the almost last two years was not reliable any longer (probably due LLM crawler and agents) and now they decided to just remove the "unknown" graph. In India over 50% of all collected data was "unknown", now everything is gone. Linux dropped from 17% to 5% in that time where unknown went up from nearly none existent to those 50+%. Now it shows 12% while I am pretty sure it is around 20% in reality. Same with the rest of the world, without knowing the unknown, data is not useful at all. And even before they never showed the total number of collected data points, which makes analyzing data very hard. Just a service I will not use any longer after removing "unknown".</p>
