Hi,

Looking at the Weekly Desktop ADI report for Ukrainian locale, am I correctly understand that the total amount of ADI for Ukraine is 994 thousand (994,421)?

I normally avoid looking at "Current Week" because I'm never sure when
the cutoff is. So I usually collect my data for the full week before
Current. Based on that Ukrainian has a few more, 1,384,140 + abroad, so
call it 1.4 million overall.

Thanks Michael,

You're right, for the previous week the numbers are quite different and it's almost 1,4 million for Ukraine :)

Do you know is there such kind of report for Firefox for Android?

Don't trust the absolute numbers in general. At least I don't, 'cause I don't know how dataviz does average numbers. In addition, the absolute numbers depend on how you measure on an order of magnitude.

Also, we had some data collection problems in the past few months for at least some data pieces, so that has potentially even more impact.

Plus, it's hard to map ADI absolute numbers to anything else in the ecosystem. Which is why you shouldn't put those numbers out there to begin with. "out" including this mailing list (yeah, didn't tell you). Please don't share the numbers you find on the dashboard. As long as we don't have data problems, sharing ratios or trends might be OK, depending on the audience. But absolute numbers set you up for discussions to loose.

Like the Germans say, "Wer misst misst Mist". "Who measures measures crap". Doesn't work in any other language. Germas are obviously the kings of data by the grace of our language.

Thanks Axel for the extended explanation.

I haven't been noticed about sharing the report before, so will get in mind...

We have had the discusion with Ukrainian community about this report recently. That's why I've doubted in that numbers and asked the question here.

Now it looks more or less clear.
