Comment (by arma):
To paraphrase Georg's answer, if we describe an "active session" as "up to
2 hours of browsing with tor browser", then we can say that there's one
active session per hit on this url.
So we are looking at approximately 1M active sessions per day.
(And of course, maybe some users produce more than one session in a day,
but we can't know how many, because anonymity. But it is plausible to
imagine that at that volume of users, most of them don't do more than 1
session per day. Also, 1 user probably does not produce a session *every*
day, so we also can't make a guess here about how many total deployed tor
browsers there are.)
