And since Apple don't release Safari for older versions of OS X, it means my only choice is to switch to Chrome if I want to keep up with the latest web technologies.
So users do the sensible thing: they use Chrome, or sometimes Edge and Safari. They avoid Firefox.
If you avoid Firefox, Edge is your only other choice on Windows and Safari is your only other choice on macOS. And both of these are the default browsers, so in both cases people have to choose to download and install Chrome.
Google's developers surely know about these potential security issues, however Google isn't run by developers. It's run by marketing, ads and data-mining.
No, that's just the centuries-old fight between coffee-drinking scientists and tea-drinking scientists. There's also a third party of insane scientists who advocate drinking dihydrogen monoxide but they're a minority so you rarely hear from them.
Firefox died years ago when they stopped listening to the requests of their users (memory leaks) and started pushing crap nobody asked for including cloning the look and feel of Chrome and I knew it was all over when Mozilla started doing wasteful crap like changing their logo to Moz://a
I see it, thank you. Unfortunately at CAD$2449 it's twice as expensive as a MacBook Air. Yes it's much better in all aspects, but it's too much for my wallet.
You can still buy the 2015 MacBook Pro? It's not on Apple's website. Is the 13" still available? Because apart from that, the only other option for my price range is the MacBook Air and I'm not paying CAD$1300 for five-years-old technology.
They decided to push USB-C and removed all USB-A ports before the USB-C specifications were ready? Sure USB-C can replace a lot of things on paper, but in real life it looks like a real mess of nearly a dozen different specifications.
And the only Apple laptop left with USB-A ports is the MacBook Air, with an old 5th-generation intel CPU, a sub-par TN display and a standard of 8GB RAM with no 16GB option.
Apple's innovation is impossible to beat. Witness the specifications of the new low-end 2017 MacBook Air: - 5th-generation Intel Broadwell processor, your choice of dual-core or dual-core processor - Your choice of 8GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 or 8GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 - Impossibly-large-to-fill 128GB SSD storage - Low-resolution twisted nematic (TN) display (patented in the 1970's) - "only" USD$999
I have to agree with Apple on this one, it takes courage to still ask that much money for ancient technology.

That would only send invalid shares to the server, which would be rejected.
Okay, so what you are saying is that this will be a problem with the next generation...

This Media Capture from DOM Elements API sure sounds like a potential grand-canyon-sized security hole.
Now don't go and quote me on this, but I've heard that even the temperature of said dihydrogen monoxide can skew the results, by a lot.
Improved medical databases? Blockchain!

Oh, damnit. Blame my Apple keyboard on that one. I'm doing ALT+CMD on my Mac but I guess it becomes WIN+TAB when I'm on Windows.
... totally different meaning if heard at the NRA.
Let's test your theory.
Global warming is not real.

FreeBSD?
So now we need even better GPUs just to make sure those stupid effects don't waste even more time.
Anyone know how to disable the stupid "here's all your windows, click on one" effect and return ALT-TAB to the way it has worked for decades?
"Most" of the "high end" gaming rigs is not the majority of gamers.
I have an Celeron G1840 (2.80 GHz), 8GB RAM and a GTX650 and I count myself as a gamer.
I see it, thank you. Unfortunately at CAD$2449 it's twice as expensive as a MacBook Air. Yes it's much better in all aspects, but it's too much for my wallet.
But even gamers don't have Xeons or 256GB RAM, though.
It's getting easier and easier to hate on Apple, especially for Apple users like me.
As for Microsoft? Windows is used to run games on my PC.

Normal/average/whatever-you-want-to-call it desktop users don't have Xeon processors nor 256GB of RAM.
Heck, my Mac mini has half as much in SSD storage as you have in RAM.
