> i mean hidpi displays themselves are very rare - if you check any desktop resolution stats they often barely are a blip

Do you have a link/cite for this? I couldn’t find easily somewhere summarizing pixel density stats.

“Desktop resolution stats” is not the same thing. All the retina displays have at least a 2x pixel ratio so these tables on a cursory Google search are clearly lumping 13 inch MacBook pros into the 1280x800 bucket for instance.

You got a reference to something that clearly is accounting for pixel ratio?

Check Firefox stats:

How can you tell that? Even JS-only trackers can use Window.devicePixelRatio to get the real resolution, if needed.

I can tell from a number of reports available that basically have no resolutions higher than 1920x1200, when we know there are enough retina displays out there that they should be listed. As to the linked report. It’s hard to discount bias with a browser with 3% market share that looking further seems to be overwhelmingly installed on outdated Windows 8 machines
