Am I the only one to have the expectation that software I use should never crash? Firefox has 20+ million lines of code. Honestly, I can't tell: Are you troll

Am I the only one to have the expectation that software I use should never crash? Firefox has 20+ million lines of code. Honestly, I can't tell: Are you trolling? A modern web browser is some of the most complex software ever written.

> A modern web browser is some of the most complex software ever written. Case in point - I had to run some x86 Docker containers on an M1 Mac recently - PHP and nodejs ran without issue using Docker's under-the-hood emulator but Chrome continually crashed during emulation.

  That's far more likely to be the emulator failing to handle V8 JIT operations than a bug in Chrome.

    Oh agreed - qemu is quite good but it failing on Chrome is evidence that Chrome is a very complex piece of software.
