    Obviously there a people in charge now who will never understand the Streisand effect. They could have kept it quiet and just… allow… the technical adept users to do their thing. Now, they are the laughing stock and get unwanted attention. Also, from my layman understanding, this shit won’t fly in the EU at all.

    Or, to say it differently: This is the best thing to happen to Mozilla in quite a long time and I’m a fan.

      I’m out of the loop. What happened? Did someone decompile their code and find definitive proof of a throttle for Firefox?

        some explanation

        To be fair, they used setTimeout() and not thread.sleep() because the latter isn’t possible out of the box in JS ^^

          Yeah let me turn off the adblocker just for having an even more suboptimal viewing due to ads. They’re lunatics.
