Huh? Concede to what? That the article is 100% correct? It is not. That I am totally wrong and you are totally right? That you are right to be surprised someone might have a different opinion? You complain when I post a wall of text, then when I don't reply to something you said, you complain...

I'll take back 25lbs but not all 50. I mean seriously, how can Edge be "irrelevant" if it has twice the market share of FF? That clearly was a biased comment in a technical article, made no sense, and was hardly helpful to readers. "IF" discussing "security" in general, then I would agree 100%...

That's a neutral view? Umm, okay. So are you suggesting I should change my opinion about that article because Retro disagrees with me? If you don't mind, let's recap my concerns. The thread title is about "Firefox and most other browsers". The article title is "Choose your browser...

Sorry, but you did. You said, I never claimed it was simply opinion - it clearly wasn't as it included technical facts too - which I acknowledged! Then you did it again when you claimed I said it my last sentence. That was another misrepresentation because I also said he presented a lot of...

:( I did not say, suggest, imply, or infer the article was "simply" anything. I especially did not suggest it was just his "simple opinion". It clearly was considerably more that. FTR - nothing - not one single word in my post was directed at or a reply to you. I clearly and "simply" was...

:( Where did I say that? I didn't. So I am disappointed you would misrepresent a poster's comment like that. :( "IF" it was "simply opinion" I sure would not have made the critical points, I didn't. In fact, I agreed with him when I clearly said,

:( Sorry but that article holds no credibility at all and should be taken with a 50lb bag of salt. Why? This one statement, Completely irrelevant? Come on? Can total bias be better illustrated? I think not. While neither Edge nor Opera hold large portions of the global market share, they...

If there are any mixed feeling, it is likely due to a lack of understanding. Lightning rods on top of houses are used so any lightening Mother Nature aims at your house hits the rod instead of your house. These are not just some highly conductive copper rods sticking up in the air. "Bonded" to...

I doubt sprinklers unless very VERY (many decades) old and use metal pipes. As far as sprinkler systems using power, that is true - but only at the timer/control box and valves. And lightning can easily jump from house to house through the air too. Or it could have been more than one lightning...

It is more about the pressures and what they feel in their sensitive ears and bodies when the Gods are having their bowling tournaments up there! As far as lightning moving underground - it sure can. Lightning can easily be upwards of 300 million volts! The greater the voltage, the more...

My "guess" is if they went after Google, Google's fancy dancy, high-priced shysters... err... lawyers would have had it thrown out before it even went before a judge - and then it never would have received any publicity or shed any light on the real problem of illegal filesharing/pirating. And...

That's why I said we (the consumers) must accept and make the sacrifices. In other words, the "honor system" must prevail. Just because something can be had for free, or for some "too good to be true" price, that does not mean we should, or that it is right to take advantage of those offers...

Well, clearly is was a "starter" as it made it to and even through the courts. But Sony has not prevailed - yet. There is still the appeal process. My hope is Google, and as you said, the Swiss government and some of the other big DNS resolvers will rally behind Quad9 and provide them the...

Huh? You are flip-flopping all over the place. You don't even know what you are arguing or disagreeing with me about. :( No. That is like saying a city is aiding and abetting a crook because the city provided the road, with street signs, to the bank he robbed. That's nonsense. The resolver...

Quad9 is not placing any website on line. No it doesn't. Do you not understand what a DNS resolver does? They are simply "resolving" or converting domain names into IP addresses. As I noted, it is like converting miles to kilometers. They are not providing any published content. In fact, they...
