@effulgentsia asked stats questions on #3510387-9: Replace "Opera Mini" with "Opera Mobile" in supported browsers → which I have tried to answer in the two comments after that one.

The short version is that with Opera Mini, it shows as 0.05% usage globally, but in Kenya, which has the highest sample size of countries that also have highest Opera Mini usage, it's hovering around 5%. Or in Nigeria down from 5% to 2.5% in the past couple of years.

I think we could add something like this:

"If a browser has disproportionately high usage in a specific region, then it can be removed if the usage on course to be below 5-10% in countries in that region by the time of the next major core release. One source of this data is regional statcounter reports."

This would then match the regional 30% language in 'adding a new browser'. I think it's probably good to have a gap between the threshold for adding a browser and the threshold for removing one, they shouldn't be too close otherwise it could lead to unnecessary churn.

Back to needs review for that bit. Should we move the suggested text into the issue summary too?

Yes 🌱 Re-evaluate opera mini support Active is the only known change to the current browserl ist.

Opera mini is below 1% (0.04%) on https://caniuse.com/usage-table and it's still in the supported browsers list.

Opera Mobile is above 1%, but it's not in it. More on 🌱 Re-evaluate opera mini support Active .

@lauriii, not that I know of. Although, 🌱 Re-evaluate opera mini support Active fits with these heuristics.

Do we have a list somewhere on what browser would be supported under the proposed heuristics?

I updated the links in #41. There are no objections here so RTBC.
