"On average, a user visits about 100 websites per month, totaling 1,200 websites per year."
First, that is not in the cited link. The word "month" isn't even present.
There is the line 'In the US, the average internet user browses over 100 different web pages on a daily basis.", but that cites a blog post from 2007 ... which include numbers for dialup users(!)
Second, if users visit 100 new and distinct websites in one month that does not mean they visit 100 new and distinct web sites every single month. You've got DuckDuckGo and HN and Codeberg and your Mastodon instance, which you visit every day.
And once you've said to allow or disallow tracking, the web site can, you know, remember the answer for next time. Using a cookie.
My browser clears every time I exit, so I click on the warnings every day.
As I commented at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41821419 when this came up last month, the analysis here is pure BS.
