- Timwi parentI don't understand why this is downvoted. It contains the actual list, while the main submission does not.
- My only experience with dependabot has been that GitHub spammed me with notifications from it. Now don't get me wrong, if I have a project with an outdated version of jQuery that has security vulnerabilities, it's useful to know about it. But it kept notifying me even after I committed a change to delete that jQuery file because the project no longer needed it. I couldn't find an easy way to get it to shut up about it.
- Loading times surely is not a problem unique to Powershell. The more complex and advanced a software gets, the more it takes to load data into RAM that appears to the user redundant.
This is the most noticable with startup times. My favorite software (Firefox) has this solved; it opens up in reasonable amounts of time, even if it takes a moment after to show the first website. My second favorite software (Inkscape), meanwhile, takes so long just to show the main UI that the developers didn't think anything of adding a splash screen: an overt acknowledgement that you're keeping the user waiting.
I, too, wish that everything were more lean and snappy, but clearly this is still an unsolved problem.

- I actually saw the “summarize this page” feature in the right-click menu today and clicked on it out of curiosity. The box that appeared had a “remove AI features” button which I accidentally clicked. Now the feature is completely gone and I don't know how to get it back. (Don't really care much, wasn't planning on using that feature anyway, just giving feedback on my first impression)
- When I had to implement a UI for reordering a list, I just had a “move” button on each item, and when you press it “move here” buttons would appear between every item (and at the top and bottom). These buttons are positioned absolutely, so there is no reflow from stretching the list. The location where you ‘place’ the item is where you click, not dependent on scroll position. Without even planning for use on mobile it ended up “just working” on mobile because you only need to tap buttons.
- I don't know anything about the browser internals or the development process/plans, but I've used requestAnimationFrame to animate SVG graphics from JavaScript and it has been super smooth for me even without a modern graphics card (only on-board graphics). The only time I've seen a performance degradation was with a complex filter involving blurs and specular reflection.
- A lot of the behaviors should just have a toggle to turn them off. For example, there are many situations where margin collapsing is in the way and I keep wondering why there isn't simply a `margin-collapse: none`. It would also be nice to have something like `default-styles: none` that will remove all the default styling for h1/h2/etc. and em/strong/cite/etc. so I don't have to deal with browsers having differing defaults.
