Caveats to this data

  1. Data is sourced from the main GOV.UK website, hosted at www.gov.uk. Parts of the site under different domains, such as blogs and services, collect analytics seperately and are not included in this data.
  2. This data only includes users with JavaScript available and who explicitly opted into analytics tracking.
  3. Mobile device usage is likely to appear inflated compared to other device types, as the analytics consent banner on GOV.UK is more visually intrusive on smaller screens.
  4. Browsers that automatically restrict or block analytics tracking will, by their nature, be underrepresented in data or not appear at all.
  5. Although GOV.UK draws many international visitors, it’s a UK-centric website and the vast majority of sessions originate from within the UK. The data should not be considered representative of browser usage in other countries.
  6. Month-by-month differences can be affected by public holidays and seasonal trends, and may not represent wider trends. For example, there are notably fewer sessions from Windows devices in December and the summer months, when more people are off work.
  7. This data is provided 'as is' without support or guarantees of accuracy. Percentages and monthly change values may not add up as expected due to rounding.

Questions and answers

How has this data been manipulated?

For the most part, it hasn't. The majority of it is identical to what is exported from Google Analytics, including all of the bits that don't quite add up for one reason or another.

Things I have changed include:

What changes to data collection have taken place?

GOV.UK will occassionally make changes to their analytics code which can appear as significant changes in trends over a very short period of time. Browser and OS data is usually unaffected by these changes, but they sometimes are. This has so far only happened once.

What's the difference between Safari and Safari WebView?

Safari sessions took place within the Safari web browser. Safari WebView took place within a 'webview'—a web browser window embedded inside of an iOS or iPadOS app.

WebViews tend to provide a more limited user experience compared to the full browser, such as only having buttons to navigate backwards and forwards and to refresh the page and not allowing new tabs. They typically lack a URL bar and most other features present in the full browser.

What's the difference between the Android operating system, Android Browser, Android WebView, and Android runtime browser?

Android the operating system is... a mobile operating system, made by Google but used by various device manufacturers. It's common for manufacturers to modify the user interface and features of their version of Android to make them unique.

Android Browser is the default browser that ships with unmodified ("stock") versions of Android. It's a very basic browser, and most manufacturers replace it with their own, as Google do with Chrome and Samsung do with Samsung Internet.

Android WebView is Android's version of the Safari WebView. It uses Chromium as the underlying rendering engine but is updated separately from both Android Browser and the bundled browser.

Android runtime is a "managed runtime" (whatever that is) that some Android apps use. I have no idea why it shows up in browser analytics data. Perhaps these are browsers on embedded systems or particularly weirdly implemented webviews? I don't know.

Thanks Google.
