       @cascheranno @pluralistic I know they mean something like "no materials for performing chemistry experiments", but I still have to share this beauty by @ZachWeinersmith because I love it so much and think of it every time I hear talk of something being "chemical free."Link to the comic: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3324

       @cascheranno @pluralistic Actually, I was in a store the other day and another customer was telling the clerk that they were looking for a probiotic with "live enzymes," and it was all I could do to resist the urge to butt in and tell them that there is no such thing as a live enzyme, because enzymes are not living organisms...so, I may relate to the cartoon a little *too much*.

       @nixCraft Will it actually have full access to everything done in the browser? I didn't see that indicated in to announcement (but maybe it was elsewhere). I don't particularly want these features, but if they don't compromise the security of other parts of the browser, and I can turn them off, then I don't particularly mind that much.

       @futurebird I was helping a colleague with a quantum computing course he was taking, and he was unfamiliar with the Greek characters used in the equations.  I found that even after I explained what they were and how they were pronounced, it was still a regular source of confusion, where he'd mix up the names and symbols or accidentally switch from one to the other. And it makes some sense to me that it's harder to keep track of these newly introduced things with unfamiliar sounds and characters.It really made me re-think in what contexts it makes sense to use them when teaching. People in STEM probably need to learn them at some point because they're likely to encounter them in other classes, papers, etc., but introducing them along with new concepts may be over-complicating matters.

       @nixCraft I would guess the intended meaning was just to point out that, as a function of the mission of Firefox, there are plenty of ways that other browsers might choose to make money that are not open to Firefox.
