The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About NoDetour

Changes links passed through redirection scripts (e.g. /cgi-bin/redirect.cgi?url=http://foo.com - often used for tracking click-throughs or forcing visitors through an intermediate adverts page) to point straight to the final URL. Based on my "link neutraliser" bookmarklet http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/48/
