Thanks! :)

It's actually easy:

- BoringSSL is irrelevant unless you have a product that bundles/vendors
the library as an internal dependency, e.g. Chrome.
- LibreSSL is used by OpenBSD and DragonFly.
- Everyone (*) else uses OpenSSL or moved back to OpenSSL

(*) except for Windows, macOS, Android, Java, Firefox/Thunderbird,
GnuPG, embedded systems, curl, and others. curl has something like 15
different TLS backends.
