Device Detect vs Device Detector

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

Device Detect moved up one install band, 10+ to 20+; Device Detector moved down one install band, 600+ to 500+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
