Luckily what you and I believe is irrelevant, unless we try to convince the masses by screaming at them long enough.

I wasn't referring to the tabs either, just as an example of people doing it wrong. No one stops them, but in the old days natural selection took care of it. These days people think, because they have a misconception, they have a right to an opinion which a misconception is not. This is known as "The terror of the masses". Desinformation and Fanboydoom(we against them) is based on that.

Yes FF was slow some 5/7 years ago, but speed up quite a lot. See here https://arewefastyet.com/win10/overview?numDays=60 . You can, of course, choose the Benchmark proving your point, or look at the bigger, quite different, picture. And just because 200+ people write the same comment in spirit does not make it true (see benchmark-site) . Also, as I have pointed out elsewhere in this thread, it is not just about speed. I agree that a site should not be agonizingly slow to work with, but that is not the case with FF (see benchmark). As far as the reference to the trajectory is concerned, it is not s.th. that securely predicts outcome. You never know what the future holds. Just think of the situation of MS or Amazone some 10-15 years ago. Besides Youtube and Facebook have nothing to do with the browser; also note that Alphabet purposefully sabotaged their own website so that it performed bad or even breaks on a non-Chrome browser. https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has...

I would also like to remind the reader and you that I never said that the fault is with the user, I merely stated that you cannot demand a product owner, ANY product owner, to cater to ALL and EVERY extreme edge-case.

But since this debate of ours, I fear so, because you tried to warp above said statement of mine, is in danger of devolving into a fan-boy flame thread, let me close this with a quote I read in a facility of a philosphical faculty, in hopes that it gets people thinking before they regurgitate other people's/trolls/campainers opinion/misconception unreflected: "People, eat feces, for a 1000 flies cannot lie."
