How these numbers are counted

Only logged Bubblecam button clicks count; page views do not. Total clicks include successful activations, concurrent attempts and historical after-dark attempts. Each percentage uses the total clicks in its own table, including unknown or unrecorded languages. Rounded percentages may not add up to exactly 100%.

These tables use the country report’s counting rules and omit clicks with no recorded country or flagged as suspected automation.

Regional variants such as US and UK English are combined. Simplified and Traditional Chinese remain separate; historical Chinese scripts are estimated from location. “Unknown browser language” means the browser supplied no usable preference; “Language not recorded” means historical language data was unavailable.
