Why This Matters
This update clarifies how browser viewports are measured and ranked across different environments, emphasizing accuracy and fairness in testing. Excluding legacy devices and anomalies ensures more reliable data, which benefits developers and users by providing better insights into display performance.
Key Takeaways
- Viewports are now measured at 920px height for 1080p screens, affecting how content is optimized.
- Independent environment evaluation improves the accuracy of performance rankings.
- Excluding legacy devices and anomalies enhances the reliability of display data.
Each environment is evaluated independently. Rankings stay hidden until that environment reaches the minimum display sample.
Legacy tablet samples are excluded because the first classifier could mistake touch-enabled desktop computers for tablets.
Clear dimension anomalies are excluded from rankings but remain in aggregate storage for auditing.
