How do you measure the economic success of a country?

By one classic measure, GDP per capita shows individual economic prosperity. But comparing countries simply by this metric doesn’t tell the whole story. To get a better idea of living standards, it helps to look at how far your money will go along with adjusting for labor productivity.

This graphic shows the world’s richest countries by three different measures, based on data from The Economist and Sondre Solstad. All figures are in U.S. dollars.

The graphs are from the US Energy Information Administration's Hourly Electric Grid Monitor:
https://www.eia.gov/electricity/gridmonitor/dashboard/electric_overview/US48/US48

The date format in the titles is month/day/year, but in the horizontal axes it's day-month-year. I apologize in advance.

Based on https://privacytests.org

Desktop browsers in their current stable versions, sorted from better (left) to worse (right). These are:

Librewolf, Mullvad, Brave, Tor, Safari, Chromium/Ungoogled, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Chrome.

Note: Each test is counted with a value of one in this chart, however each test may not have an equal importance in regard to privacy. It still gives an image of which browsers value privacy and which do not.

The maximum (worst possible) score is 143.

Edit: Also FUCK BRAVE. But for other reasons than these points. Read the description before you vote or comment ffs...

The Washington Post article mentions a 1994 research paper by William Nordhaus as the source, but their link doesn't seem to work. Here's a working link to the paper:

This website is inspired by Spotify Wrapped at the end of each year, but with more statistics spanning longer than just last year. The website is also static and simple. Everything is processed in the browser using Python and Pyodide and should also work offline. If you want other ways to visualize the data, you can also download everything as CSV files. The code for the script and website can be found here: https://github.com/piebro/spotify-statistics/ I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
