Pornhub is one of the pre-eminent porn sites on the web. Each year Pornhub releases a year in review post with anonymous details about the site's users. More and more Linux users are visiting Pornhub, Linux saw an impressive 14% increase in traffic share in 2016.

[...] While Windows continues to dominate when it comes to which operating system users count on to watch Pornhub (about 80% of desktop users), Mac OS and Linux are on the rise, with Mac OS up 8% in traffic share and Linux up an impressive 14%.

Moving onto mobile. The playing field is pretty even here, with Android and Apple iOS almost at par with one another. Android leading with 3% more users on Pornhub than Apple iOS (47% of Pornhub's mobile users). Android's mobile market share has increase by 5% over the last year.

Look, it wasn't all me. I swear.

    Very interesting number analysis you did. It certainly gives a different perspective to the summary. Thank you.

    And that's assuming that the traffic stats for a porn site are actually meaningful for... well, I'm not sure why these numbers are supposed to be of interest to anyone other than people running porn sites??

    I can tell you a good reason. The porn community is an indicator species [wikipedia.org] for the internet -- not just for bad things, but good things as well. They were the first in many areas -- including delivering malware and then in fixing the malware problem. They are now dabbling in 3D. If you want to know how 3D and holography are going to be accepted by the general populace, watch the porn community closely.
