    They detect this from browsers, it’s not really accurate. For example, if you’re using LibreWolf, they’ll detect you as Windows 10.

        Probably not. The majority of users use chrome or whatever their os comes with. There are edge cases but it would be the minority that think about privacy and such.

        I’m to lazy to worry about tracking so I install ublock, enable do not track in the settings of Firefox, and call it a day.

          It is probably more likely that a Linux users is detected incorrectly, but the percentage of users doing something to cause this is almost certainly small enough to ignore.
