i have a theory that the reason "gifted kids" often don't find success later in life is that when you're a kid you're praised for things that are actually beautiful and significant. you're praised for drawing, for writing stories, for being a cute little science nerd, for learning languages easily, for having a particular talent, etc. but then none of these things really translate into success in adulthood bc none of the things that make you successful are beautiful and significant: being born in a rich family, being a callous prick, sucking up to authority, being a boring conformist, tricking others, having no morals, etc.

if you *absolutely, positively, must* use a Chromium, consider Vivaldi. do not use Opera. do not use Brave.

I hope all those devs who went "I don't need to optimize, there's plenty of RAM" are going to get slapped with complaints about bad performance because the software runs like shit on new computers whose RAM size traveled back to 2015
