> In order to measure the user experience, Firefox collects a wide range of anonymized timing metrics related to page load, responsiveness, startup and other aspects of browser performance.
So, they collect lots and lots of telemetry and what do they do with it?
> Let’s start with page load. First Contentful Paint (FCP) is a better metric for felt performance than the `onload` event.
Misinterpret and misuse it. Better, my a**.
I can't describe how much I HATE pages that are rendered before they are completely loaded.
I type an adress, I hit enter, and promptly I see the page content. I try to click a link or a button on the page, but guess what? Just before I click it, an image just loaded above the link. The link moved down from under the cursor, and now I click the image instead of the link. And the image IS AN AD!!!
It's like FF devs are actually TRYING to make me click ads!
