Based on country-code domains (such as .de or .co.uk); websites on .com and other generic domains are not assigned a country.
TechLeads scans public websites and detects Kakao from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is Kakao's website count divided by the website counts of all Live chat technologies we track; a site using two Live chat tools counts for both.
