A World Wide View of Browsing the World Wide Web (pdf)

In this paper, we perform the rst large-scale study of how people spend time on the web. Our study is based on anonymous, aggregate telemetry data from several hundred million Google Chrome users who have explicitly enabled sharing URLs with Google and who have usage statistic reporting enabled. We analyze the distribution of web trac, the types of websites that people visit and spend the most time on, the dierences between desktop and mobile browsing behavior, the geographical dierences in web usage, and the most popular websites in regions worldwide. Our study sheds light on online user behavior and how the research community can more accurately analyze the web in the future.
