"localhost" is hardcoded to resolve to "127.0.0.1" (ignoring IPv6 for now). The "is secure context" state applies to 127.0.0.0/8 (again ignoring IPv6). See NetAddr::IsLoopBackAddressWithoutIPv6Mapping in

Looking at the code in the DNS service in Firefox, it kinda looks like this for localhost: 1) If IPv6 disabled in prefs or caller explicitly requested IPv4 only, 127.0.0.1. 2) If localhost explicitly listed in the IPv4-only domains list in

One option, if you have a reasonably low student-to-instructor ratio: make it an oral 1-1 exam for each student. A video call with the instructor and the student; you ask questions, they answer. If you have 20-ish students, it will eat up

For what it's worth, Rosetta 2 does claim to support JITs (which is a pretty neat trick), and the release notes for Firefox 83 claim it should work fine under Rosetta 2 on the M1.
