| Pin **one dated frame**, not an informal average of several daily lists. Tranco's own daily id already aggregates 30 days (Dowdall); that is a defined procedure with a permalink. CrUX is a monthly bucket snapshot — cite the month. {[LePochat2019_tranco]} is the stability argument for that kind of aggregation, not a licence to mix unpublished daily CSVs. Do not treat Tranco as CrUX. If you can, report on more than one list: 55 of 763 ranking-users (7.2%) named two or more vendors; Ruth et al. showed CrUX and Tranco are different instruments against HTTP logs {[ruth2022_toppling]}, and they did not evaluate reporting both. 52.0% of papers that named a ranking vendor in this corpus stated no version on that tuple (397 of 763). | Pin **one dated frame**, not an informal average of several daily lists.
