Did anything of the sort ever happened at all or are we only entertaining thought experiments?
- joshspankit 5y agoIt happens all the time with different OS’, software, games, and apps. I don’t know of a single example of Firefox doing it, but I feel like it’s fair if people are thinking about it as a possibility.
