Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. (old.reddit.com)

Maybe it was unclear. If I get fired for insubordination or whatever, I would be in much more pain than a Google code monkey, because I'm paid much less.

Are you thinking about it another way, where because I'm paid less, I wouldn't care if I got fired, which makes me more emboldened to push back on my higher ups?

Sadly, salary and loyalty to the corporation are often proportional is what they meant.

Right, gotcha. In my experience, software developers are a bit more principled (maybe fickle is a better word lol) than that. Sure there are some dedicated "company man" types, but for the most part software devs are more loyal to the work/end product than the company

Of course my experience doesn't speak for anyone else's, take all this with a grain of salt, etc, etc
