You are trying to apply a US-centric metric where it doesn't work. If you want research, you need to look elsewhere. Universities in Europe are usually for teaching and doing some broad research. Highly specialized research on US level

How many rules does the content blocking API support? 50,000? 100,000? The last time I looked this was a problem because I currently have over 200,000 active rules. Does it prevent CNAME shenanigans?

A friend of mine has over 3,000 open in a vanilla Firefox at this very moment. Firefox restores the tabs on each restart without loading them and suspends inactive tabs automatically.

It's not just performance, it's functionality. Chrome does not block requests reliably at startup when opening saved tabs and doesn't allow CNAME uncloaking. Adding something along the lines of CNAME 60 puppies analytic

I configured all my programmable keyboards to map Capslock to Fn and use Fn+WASD for cursors keys and Fn+Q for Home and Fn+E for End, so I think that dedicated keys are unnecessary. I cannot imagine using anything else anymore because it is

German banks require the account owner's permission to pull money from a bank account and the owner has a 6 week window to get all their money back, no questions asked. "SEPA Lastschriftverfahren" is what it's called.

In Germany there is a similar thing where you need to deposit at least 25,000 € as collateral to be able to create a GmbH (similar to an LLC). This is meant to pay for debts in case the GmbH goes bankrupt. But the government recognized that

Since Uber seems to be a benchmark for VC start-ups (Uber for X) and Uber is still losing money in the tens or hundreds of millions per year, I am not surprised that employees think that Klarna is a success.
