  • It used to freeze up a lot; and, then, you lost all tabs, if it did. That’s why I’d stopped using it and switched to Chrome, back in the day.

    With all the crap Google’s doing, I tried Firefox out again something like 5 or 7 years ago and it’s now better than what Chrome offers (for me, of course; I’d’ve probably still switched, anyway, just to deGoogle my life further).

    I do find it starts to massively lag when I get to a certain number of tabs/windows; but Chrome doesn’t seem to ever shut off my CPU fans under the same level of load so not like it gets a leg up.




  • When someone proposes, implements or enforces a clearly sensible rule, and someone else brings weird corner case scenarios up, always ask yourself if there’s a conflict of interests.

    I can’t tell if I started doing this more as disinformation became more prevalent over the recent years or it’s something I’ve always done; I don’t know where I would’ve picked it up from.

    Nevertheless, you’re spot on; it’s an incredibly good rule-of-thumb.

    (I just realized it might’ve been funny if I’d responded to this with a weird, corner-case scenario, instead; but it’s late and I can’t think of a good one for it)
