How did you come to the conclusion that chrome was faster? Personally, I’ve found all the browsers to be fast enough.I did some analysis leg work to come to that conclusion. I look at other characteristics such as privacy.

We shouldn’t just look at power users. Google and Microsoft, for example, constantly advertise to use their browser when you visit their properties. I imagine this has an impact.

That’s a poor layout for fishing. Fishing boats will be on rough water and need to be a bigger boat setup for down rigging and other stuff or be on a smaller body of water where you need access to to all edges easily and have a second troll

Are you arguing there are perfect laws or solutions? Let's say that anything someone uploads fly's and there is no means to deal with copyright violation. In that case, the person who created the work gets screwed. For example, a

People have had the same thing over generated white noise. There are no perfect laws or implementations to support them. The solutions err on one side or the other. In our current case, the solutions privilege the corps.

You didn’t ask a question in the previous comment. So, I commented. I don’t know what weight loss ads look like. I don’t generally know what any ads look like thanks to blockers. If I were to guessing would guess they aren’t any good. Yet,

A side thought... it's quite incredible how we in "the west" have managed to make our lives flow with little impact from seasons, weather, and stuff like that. Just in general. Thinking about how people had it 200 years ago..

First, if I understand it right... Google does some smart things in upgrades. They do things like tests and then upgrade their equivalent to AZs in a data center. I'm sure there have been upgrades gone bad that they've had to fix.
