[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1080431, member: 19756"] Not just users but even developers, tweakers, and techies. And not so much a rollercoaster ride but a description of what's taking place. How is the laptop used? If it's meant only for browsing a few sites an hour a day, then it can be used in default mode for a very long time. Do or demand more, and you get more complications. That's also what gives many meanings to "get by". One user loads a page at a time; no performance problem. Another eagerly reads threads in a forum and tries to load all of them at the same time using addons like Snap Links (the user just mentioned might say, "what's that" or "why should I care" while another will say, "wait a minute? you mean there are addons that allow me to do that? where can I find it?"). Use something like Adguard for Windows, and many of the pages won't load; no problem with uBlock Origin. But can the latter be used with Ferdium? (The first user asks: "what's that?" The second: "wait, I don't have to leave several messenging apps open and instead just use that?") And then something in those pages in "legit" sites leads to malware infection. What happens next? Oh, you didn't follow "good habits". User: but the site was legit! Techie: well, you should have done this or that. User: why didn't you tell me in the first place? Techie: Because I didn't want to scare you. [/QUOTE]
