So what you’re saying is, when you say “oh I’m having performance issues in Firefox”, you think it would be better for everyone to just ignore you, than for people to try and help you?
Given that I didn't ask for any help, yeah.
Or, you know, add some polite commentary, chime in with whether that matches your experience or not. That sort of phatic engagement stuff, if one really must chime in.
I mean, you always expect some level of "have you tried this". Hell, I didn't even begrudge the nod to the built-in profiler. That was a fair point.
By the time you get to "look at the extensions you don't recognize, you may have accidentally installed a cryptominer" you may be overdoing it, though. Unless I'm your grandma or you're actively manning a customer service call center.
