Yes, but many % people in Pitcairn are using internet?

The data from Can I Stop, Can I Use and StatsCounter are usage market shares, so they are relative to internet visitor usage, not to living population.

For exemple, during a typical day I’m regularly browsing on at least 6 browsers, but in the browsers usage data I’m not 1 user, I’m 6 entries, one for every technical context I’m using.

So you can’t compare browsers usage data to people data.

Ah! Got it, thanks for the clarification, now I understand! I thought they were unique visitors, though not even that would be literally comparable to population without some sampling (many users could use the same device or appear as one single device by using a NAT).

Well, let's not do that then :D
