As much as I love and use IPv6 every day as my primary payload protocol (and have done so for 10+ years) - I find it dubious that, "The graph shows the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6." - Really, 20% of people are now connecting to Google over IPv6? If so, that's awesome and presumably a side effect of Comcast giving everyone IPv6 addresses.

As well as Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile wireless. Mobile usage is huge.
What do you find dubious exactly? Why would Google lie about that? It doesn't sound that hard to believe, all it takes is a few big ISPs starting to enable IPv6 by default.
Google isn't even accessible in the biggest country with the most people on the internet. So the HN title is misleading, in that it isn't 20% worldwide.
Mods, please fix the title?
"in that it isn't 20% worldwide."
You don't know that, even when you count in more Chinese people it could still not change the world average. The title is fine since it represents an extremely big sample on the most visited page on the Internet.

Baidu.com is the most visited page though...
Not sure where you got that from. Alexa rankings show google.com as #1 and baidu.com as #4.
