Global Data Tracker

I built Global Data Tracker to make world statistics easier to explore. It has country profiles, historical charts, comparisons and rankings, plus a 3D globe you can rotate and zoom. The first version led with the globe. I recently changed the homepage to put statistics first, so a quick lookup doesn't require navigating a map. The globe is still there for exploring. It's free with no reader signup. Published figures show their sources and reporting years. Moving counters are calculated estimates, not a feed of individual events. Built with AI assistance, Next.js and WebGL, and still improving from feedback. I'd love to hear whether finding and comparing country statistics feels straightforward, especially on mobile.

Correction: We withdrew this chart's derived non-user shares, counts and ranks. Survey ages, reference periods and population denominators weren't verified as comparable. Don't reuse these figures. ITU/World Bank: https://globaldatatracker.com/statistics/internet_use#Global Data Tracker
