Does that count people using programs that you can't control using chrome on the backend such as Steam? It wouldn't be installed at all on my system if it weren't for stuff such as that.
Electron identifies itself as electron in it's user agent so you could easily identify and separate it out.
Also I doubt most companies leave the user agent as the default, they probably change it for whatever version the app is.
Ah that makes sense, thanks for the info!
