Windows 7 traffic on my site has dramatically increased over the past 3 months. This was widely reported in the news, and frequently attributed as a statscounter glitch. But I don't use statscounter, and my Windows 7 traffic is still increasing. Why? A thread;

Over 90% of my Windows 7 "visitors" are Chrome users in Singapore with no referrer and 1280x1200 displays. These users *do* execute JS, but do not engage with the page. They appear to visit pages at random. Unless my website is shockingly popular with Singaporean Windows 7 users, these are bots...

Maybe I block w7 users in Singapore. But I only identified this in the first place bc of the odd Windows 7 UA. What % of other visitors are bots? Not all, but some? Most? I can't detect them well, evidently. I don't know who's running them. And I don't want to fingerprint humans to find out.
