sure, and maybe browsers or os need some way to say “running untrusted code please turn off performance for a sec” for that use case. until then ill just use one tab at a time or disable js before i opt in for slow.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI expect that the vast majority of PC gamers keep Javascript enabled in their browsers.
- ChickeNES 7y agoCS:GO also uses JS for its new GUI, and there's already been one exploit that took advantage of it.
- kingosticks 7y agoI wouldn't expect that. Is this the kind of thing that would be reported by the Steam hardware survey (if that's still a thing)? Edit: I took a look and it seems they don't ask/record that info. I apologise for the offence this idea seems to have caused someone.
- zapzupnz 7y agoNobody was offended by the other. I think people are downvoting you and gameswithgo because you appear to be applying your own personal notions to an entire segment with little to no evidence. 'PC enthusiast' is such a blanket term to start with, so applying a blanket statement to such a group is obviously doomed to failure from the very start.
- kingosticks 7y agoAnd that's exactly what the parent did that I replied to. But I do appreciate the explanation, cheers.
- BubRoss 7y agoWhy would steam's hardware survey report if JavaScript is enabled in browsers?
- kingosticks 7y agoBecause its a hardware and software survey. I have a memory of them asking some extra questions but that was years ago. Either I remembered wrong (likely), they changed it, or they don't report it all.
