Here's
the same graph with more data, more request types, and of course a lot more shininess:

If you feel that's interesting enough, would it be possible to also add the number of download of cryptographic signatures to the graph?
I also would love to see a breakdown by operating systems if you consider it a reasonable thing to do.
To these requests I would add a request for the methodology behind releasing these stats. Are they raw numbers? Rounded? More generally, how are the web logs sanitized? I’m interested in how safe these statistics are to release and how they might be changed to be even more privacy-preserving.
Good thinking! I summarized the methodology on the graph page as: The graph above is based on sanitized Tor web server logs [0]. These are a stripped-down version of Apache's "combined" log format without IP addresses, log times, HTTP parameters, referers, and user agent strings.

I guess we'll write down the sanitizing process in more detail once we make this part of CollecTor, but that may take a few more weeks or even months.
If you spot anything in the data that you think should be sanitized more thoroughly, please let us know!
Thanks, Aaron
All the best, Karsten
