No comment on the increased CPU usage/effect on battery life this might have. I haven't tested it yet, but it seems like it could be significant. I hover over way more tabs than I switch to sometimes.
I currently have a lot of tabs open (in Chrome) and I switch frequently. However, I hover over a tab only to read the title, rarely to click. I'm interested in checking out Firefox again soon to see the new performance gains (maybe including this one), but does it affect battery life?
What if the false positive ratio is nearly 100%, like I suspect it would be for my patterns? Does this affect other performance like scrolling or typing if I've also been hovering over a lot of tabs?
Interesting work!
Edit:
> Maybe this is my Canadian-ness showing, but I like to think of it almost like coming in from shoveling snow off of the driveway, and somebody inside has already made hot chocolate for you, because they knew you’d probably be cold.
How sure are you that you won't end up with a whole bunch of hot chocolate that nobody wants? What is the waste factor when the extra work is done unnecessarily?
