What's the unknown line? Some Chinese OS or browsers with all info excluded?
VPN/unreported/embedded smart HTTP parser requests?
Hmm, I only run Linux but my browser often lies to resist fingerprinting and says I'm running windows.
Are they getting this info from web servers, really? If so then its likely under reporting since Linux users are probably more likely than non-linux users to use tools that falsify their reported OS to resist fingerprinting.
the reports i've seen in the past do it with thousands of popular web servers. i didnt dig into this particular report.
