I’m not sure that it’s possible to track this. Personally I went from probably thousands of dollars a year in 2017-ish to “only after I’ve checked every other store and never a large purchase” today (probably about $150/yr). I never ex

Having 2 separate windows requires an extra mouseclick for any interaction on most OSes. For example, try to highlight text on a non-focused window. Obviously a tiny extra effort, and not sure it justifies this feature, but it can add up fo
