Too Popular to Be Good

Too Popular to Be Good
It looks like something is interfering with the functionality of my JavaScript on the Mozilla browser, at least on the local versions. Mozilla is the most popular browser here, so it's really a shame. But you can still see my program working on other browsers like Chrome, IE, and Safari.

Web hacks, like the people who keep poisoning the library computers with that malware that pulls away all the VPL website hits and sends them off to Taylor Swift or someone like that, always target the most popular browsers. You can avoid 99 percent of the viruses online if you simply browse through a Mac computer because most hacks target the more popular Windows operating system on PC's.

I recall that 'Mozilla' was the name assigned to Internet Explorer when I had to write page navigation programs that could detect browser types back in 2000. The hacks who want all our library log-in's to end up on an outside web page don't just need us to choose Mozilla for them at the library; they also need us to reject Internet Explorer. That may be why Internet Explorer has been noticeably downgraded at the VPL, in terms of how it renders page content. It appears to be running through a rather primitive system. Is it LINIX instead of UNIX? I'm sure a lot of web users there have been put off by its poor performance, which has only been since Mozilla started sending every VPL log-in to an outside URL.

So the Mozilla browser was targeted for this destructive treatment because of its popularity. The most popular browser gets hacked and turned into support for billboard wonders who need to fall back on text after we reject their big ugly faces - did you notice that? I speak here of the hideous face of corporate tyranny and not in mockery of anyone's particular facial features - as was the favorite practice used by 'stars' against me for so many years. Who had that enormous statue made of his likeness? Wasn't it Nero? Who else had their gigantic portraits hanging everywhere? The image of Stalin springs to mind immediately. Only the 'jumbo-tron' is acceptable to me, as a practical means to help me see better at a stadium event.

Well, it's just a theory I'm sharing here, but I have plenty of personal experience to back up the claim that web popularity invites a lot of destruction. If they're saying something is popular, it's probably the worst thing you can imagine.
