Perhaps it has something to do with the continue position, if I don't spot how to get to the content I clicked through to right away I immediately ditch.

This aligns with my question, so he feels there is some malicious person doing identity theft.... except that for some reason they used his wifes real email address? An identity thief does everything they can to ensure the original person isn't aware that someone is using their identity, not use an address that goes directly to the original person.

Anecdotally I have chrome tabs crash, I do not see firefox crash. What do you mean stick to it? If the OS needs the memory it will be relegated to swap, at which point if you resume using the tab you need to wait for the OS to retrieve it from disk hardly 'smooth'.

And what bugs would those be? Anecdotally I don't see Firefox crash despite using it more whilst I do encounter Chrome tabs crashes (not daily, perhaps a few times a week).

One process per tab would mean FF would use the excessive amount of memory that Chrome uses.

Why would you switch to Chrome? It just has a different version of all this stuff baked in.

Unlike a lot of whiners here I use Firefox as my primary browser, it uses less memory than Chrome and is as fast. That said, the first thing I do after updating Firefox is figure out how to get disable or remove the extraneous parts they keep adding.
Installing on a new box now consists of about 10-15 minutes of trying to remember and searching for the about:config options to ditch them. Further, I also have no plans to create a Firefox account in order to continue to use sync..
Don't try to copy what Google is doing with Chrome, you're alienating the core userbase who are capable of adding these features if we want on our own. If this sort of stuff continues I imagine we'll see a credible fork.

At this rate Internet Explorer (or Edge, whatever they're calling it now) would be the only option as Chrome also has a lot of crap baked in.
Hacking Team Hacked, Attackers Grab 400GB of Internal Data 95
Several readers sent word that notorious surveillance company Hacking Team has itself been hacked. Attackers made off with 400GB worth of emails, documents, and source code. The company is known for providing interception tools to government and law enforcement agencies. According to the leaked files, Hacking Team has customers in Egypt, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Lebanon, Mongolia, Russia, Germany, Sudan, and the United States — to name a few. It has been labeled an enemy of the internet by Reporters Without Borders. "Clients have had their passwords exposed as well, as several documents related to contracts and configurations have been circulating online." Nobody knows yet who perpetrated the hack.

From a security perspective you kind of do as Person A can give out the password to whomever. That said I agree, I don't like the idea of Microsoft automating it.

For a technical user why are lights even needed? I have a macbook from work and find it incredibly annoying the damn keyboard lights won't stay off.
