Facebook vs stories

Head-to-head usage across the sites we track.

Detections for Facebook end in May 2022. Detections for stories end in Jan 2021. The fingerprint catalog behind our crawls no longer carries these technologies as their own entries, usually because they were retired or split into more specific ones, so their figures reflect the last data recorded.
