You missed my point. I’m suggesting that the 75th percentile of traffic goes to sites that probably have Facebook integrated via like button, ads, auth. (Way that fb can track you.)

Therefore most traffic on internet is traceable. Key being traffic not count of sites in my analysis.

Well, that's what the Quantcast numbers are for...the top 10K sites are the top 10K trafficked sites in the world. And only about 25% of them have the Facebook Pixel.

Pixel isn't the only way to embed Facebook on the page mate. Facebook plugins and facebook auth also.

I went through the stats for those above as well. I used the Pixel because it's by far more prevalent than any other Facebook-hosted stuff (plugins etc).
