The EU alone is about 450 million people. There’s more countries in Europe than in the EU. I think you got something wrong.

That will stop working way sooner than you’d like. Freezing a browser isn’t tenable at all, not just for features websites are expecting but also security issues. There’s a reason every browser except Safari has a 6 weeks release cycle.
Firefox uses the Web Extensions standard, just like Chrome. There are minor differences here or there but largely the same, tech wise.

RAM usage is RAM usage, and besides the allocation still being awful and you probably having less RAM available in a heavy task, this means substantial power consumption, that costs money.
Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Even if it’s just the OS keeping apps on memory for faster launches. If you do need heavy RAM for a task your OS is clever enough to reshuffle things.
Used RAM does use more electricity but that is so neglible it’s a non-issue and no argument.
Of my 32 GB at least 26 GB are constantly in use.
While I don’t agree with what Google does, they want to remove third-party cookies entirely next year. So it’s indeed a replacement, not supplemental.
Webkit is an incredibly complex and rich engine for rendering web content. That kind of content comes in so many uncountable varieties that still need to work correctly. Easy example, this is equivalent:
<b><i>test</i></b>
<b><i>test</i></b>
(imagine the last I and b being switched, Lemmy won’t let me do it)
Even though it shouldn’t but there’s enough idiots doing this so the browser supports it.
Now imagine, on top of that there’s also a huge engine interpreting runnable code (Javascript). Any runnable code is inherently unsafe so it has to be sandboxed. That’s where the vulnerabilities come into play. There are so many ways to break a sandbox and it’s impossible to 100% find every single one.
Regarding experimental Features: These are for developers to verify their stuff works with upcoming features. If you don’t want that, just don’t use that. That simple.
No you’re correct. Android does run a JVM, just not Oracle’s. That has always been the case. Back in the day it was Dalvik, nowadays it’s ART.
Post number 3.492 complaining about Threads
There is nothing they can do to fuck up your experience, ESPECIALLY on Lemmy though. Threads is a completely different concept from Lemmy and activity pub is well defined.
The only thing they could do is just not moderate threads and therefore putting spam in everyone’s feeds. That’s about it. I don’t think they’re leaving that unmoderated.
They don’t get more data because they’re federated. They literally the exact same amount of data as they do know just by scraping mastodon or Lemmy. They’re an even player in this market. Somehow you all keep forgetting that. If you don’t want meta do have data from activity pub, you being here already violates that ideal.
This behavior is why the fediverse alienate users and makes it hostile for new people to join.
They didn’t do anything, yet. Give them the chance but start with 2 strikes on their account already. They fuck up, THEN you defederate. Innocent until proven otherwise.
Edit: go on, downvote me. Show me your face. Show me how you’re all against growth on Lemmy and niceness to each other.
Hating on Threads for no reason is the circlejerk of Lemmy.
