The most impressive part of this accomplishment – aside from [...]
In the following graphs, each bar represents one of the top 100 extensions, by usage. The high of the bar is comparing relative usage. I.e. the most used extensions have the highest bars. Positive bars are compatible (blue), non-positive are not compatible (red).
