Thank you for making the comment I wanted to make, but was too afraid of being down-voted for being an elitist UNIX beard. Also funny that they admit the CPU use might not really be a problem... but try to solve it anyway and add a lot of c

For ecommerce yes, but the people most impact here are prob. banks... and if somones back tells them they have to install and use FF or use Edge over Chrome, they will probably do it.

When the programmer sees a function call they know its complexity is a O(?) and will (hopefully) vet it before calling it in a tight performance sensitive loop.

Example, properties in C# can be method calls, and while they appear to have the complexity of accessing a field they actually could be arbitrarily algorithmically complex. This leads to a programmer down the road, calling it in a tight loo

UserAgent switchers are a godsend. Have your Chrome or Firefox on Linux always send the Windows UA. I even have a system on work that required Chrome (by UA), but only actually works on Firefox... :'(

I am probably wrong, but my understand has been that being cooler longer-term, say living at 50 degrees reduces peripheral circulation. This provides a place for the virus to replicate with less immune interference. It seems like many of th
