<p>Checking the usage report today, I see that Thunderbird reached
what I believe is a new record in number of users yesterday Nov
27, 2017 (as measured by ADI, the daily hits to the blocklist
update). Typically we estimate actual monthly users by 2.5 times
this number since the ADI count misses many classes of users.</p>
<p>Yesterday our ADI was 10,466,006 putting out estimated monthly
users at 26 million.</p>
<p>Here's a graph by country (which may not survive the listserve):</p>

<p>I don't mean to imply that our usage is increasing dramatically,
the typical peak ADI
has been around 10,000,000 for several years. But it is certainly
not declining, and if anything
is slowly drifting upward.</p>
