I agree with you on everything you wrote, thanks for taking time to explain it.

The situation is not great, it's true that for regular users Chrome is basically spyware and battery drain.

I've been waiting for Mozilla to create a better webdev console (or even copy Chrome's) and I'd move instantly.

I do use more than just Chrome (ungoogled Chromium, Edge, Firefox) and I also experience the "regular user" problem when a site is fine in Chrome but not in Firefox so I'm split between two worlds as well, and believe me - I feel your frustration.

You're very welcome. Vouching again as I have no idea why you got down voted.

I really do feel bad that your post was a vaulting point for me to rant, but I do get why a developer would want such things.

I'm not a web dev, so for me, it's just about the user experience and privacy (which as the article shows, no major browser does well out of box).

I'm not Meaning to be hostile towards web dev, but for my company's product, we try to be very transparent about breaking changes. Most software is. Linus even was specific about "don't break userspace".

Thus it's a sore spot for me that web dev bucks the trend here and the answer as to "why" is really not clear for me. Rolling update software is equally guilty here but at least you usually get patch notes...it's still bad in my opinion, but at least you get some idea what's going on.
