That was the point that I was making - I had not, as a twisted response
indicated, criticised Firefox regarding the misuse of resources - I
explicitly referred to malignant web application developers (for those
that do not understand the term, a web application is the application,
on the web application hosting server, that the user accesses, using a
web browser, not the web browser itself) that steal users' resources
using client-side processing (by using malware such as javascript using
client side processing), rather than properly and ethically using
server-side processing, such as .jsp or Perl .cgi applications.
The problem is that some web developers (and, especially, their
employers) offload the processing that should be done on the business
web application hosting server, to the victim users' personal computers.
It is a malignant exploitation, like the "gig economy".
