Description
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Viewport sizes are treated too granularly (e.g., 1920×1080 vs. 1919×1080), causing users to be split across many tiny buckets.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Implement viewport grouping / bucketing so slightly different resolutions are merged (e.g., rounding widths/heights to the nearest 8-10–16px). This would make totals align with overall visitor counts and improve readability.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Define fixed viewports and doing a lookup on them.

Research direction

Done means slightly different resolutions are merged while totals align with overall visitor counts and remain readable.
