Control question probably, to check if you actually read the questions.
I forgot those exist and interpreted it as "Would you sacrifice performance for one of these features?"
Am I stupid?
I also thought it was a feature vs performance question. How can it be used as a control question?
By overestimating users' intelligence... classic blunder, really. 🧐
I jest, I've no idea.
Haha!
Mozilla might be insane
That's how I treated it too. I took it at face value.
I have modern hardware so I don't care too much about browser performance. All browsers perform well on my hardware. Obviously some are more lightweight and optimised, but I have no doubts about my ability to comfortably browse the web on my hardware, so all the performance questions I tended to rank in the middle (ie not most or least important) as I don't tend to notice browser performance.
Makes sense. What about those who click that option as a joke? Maybe discount all other replies from that person because of that too?
I mean, fair?
Or what if they don't click it by joke, but because they actually prefer a 2x slower browser over such a feature?
lol, yeah. 👍
I was doing a political poll just the other day and the third or fourth question was a color question like: “Which of the following is associated most with a ripe banana?”
Eh, how ripe are we talking?
I debated because I really disliked another option in there (I think it was split-screen for AI or something stupid) and it felt like it was designed to make me not rank something else I didn't like as least desired.
