[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1052377"] I once read an article that Google's quality system, defensive design, programming best practices and (automated) regression testing were the best of all large internet company's (Apple, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft). The author of that article warned competing browsers build upon Chromium that they should not loose themselves in a lot of tailored code, because you need to test all that extra code (regression tests whether it still works okay afte you have made changes). He warned that when Google wanted to pull the legs of their Chromium based competitors, Google might increase its six weekly update schedule to a monthly or even less. That scenario never happened. Bringing out security updates every week is not the same thing, but it is surely annoying for others to keep up. I wish Microsoft a lot of regression testing efforts and I hope their added bloat will take a lot of maintenance manpower away from the development team. :) [/QUOTE]
