Device, browser and OS matrix

What it is

A cross-tab card with three tabs. Each cell shows visitors for that pair, shaded by size, with row and column totals.

Why it matters

Donuts show one thing at a time. The matrix answers questions like “how much of my mobile traffic is Safari?” at a glance.

How it works

1. Pick a tab: Browser × device, OS × device or OS × browser.
2. The top 8 rows are shown; the rest are added up as “Other”, so totals still add up.
3. Works with date ranges, comparisons and segments, and downloads as CSV or Excel.

Set it up

Nothing to set up: it works with the standard one-line script.

<script data-host="https://quietstats.co.uk" data-dnt="true" src="https://quietstats.co.uk/js/script.js" id="YOUR_SITE_ID" async defer></script>

Privacy: what is and isn’t collected

Collected

• Nothing new: device, browser and OS families you already have

Never collected

• Cookies, localStorage or anything else stored on the visitor’s device
• IP addresses or user agents (used in memory, then discarded)
• Anything that links a visitor across days (the visitor ID resets daily)

Rows and limits

• Top 8 rows per tab, plus Other
• Rows: 0 per pageview (reads only)

“Rows” are database rows written, which is what our hosting is billed on. Reads are not rows written. Methodology →
