…This one?

This one isn’t very privacy-friendly or open. And that raises all the previous questions again. Should they maybe have learned something about clandestinely fucking with people’s systems?

Look, at this point it’s not the user’s responsibility to “chill out”. It’s very much Firefox’s responsibility to try to repair their reputation by:

1. being completely transparent about all the mechanisms that data or code can be pushed to or pulled by the browser, or pushed from or pulled from the browser; and

2. having a toggle for all of them, yes every single one, in Privacy & Security.

Not sure what you mean by optimize, but MLB teams often play several games against each other in a row.

But that’s slightly different because it could be seen to change the dynamic form performance over a season to fewer best out of N events.

God, Go is tedious to read.

Also, just use a code formatter that rejects any incorrectly styled code.

It’s the share that’s being traded. It doesn’t matter whether it represents reality. All that matters is that the guess about whether it appreciates or depreciates is correct.

In all likelihood an entirely new product will be a better fit in that case, anyway. Especially if whichever direction you do pick completely precludes what you decide not to do.

In practice (and with some experience) most decisions do not prevent revisiting them later.
