Guess Linus was right again to only use ECC RAM.

Let’s spend a ton of extra money minimizing edge case crashing in a browser!!!

I don’t know about you, but I use my RAM for a lot more than a browser.

What nerd edge case do you want to talk about that is so important you need ECC?

Bit rot is real, I’ve seen it first hand in plenty of cases. While I tend to blame the storage device, for infrequently accessed files that have been copied multiple times from different drives, I can’t rule out RAM or some other source of the corruption.
