12/16 - Winter Wonderland Wednesday

any money that is out there, it is ours!!!

 

no shortage here, ive seen the regular and the sweet/sour ones. i got a green apple box a bit ago. still bummed i cant find the chocolate mint ones that i got a yearish ago that tasted like candy cane versions of junior mints

 

had to switch to firefox. feels weird.

 

what happened?

 

chrome canary kept crashing. but I'm starting to like ff.

 

Why are you using chrome canary instead of regular chrome?

 

chrome canary is my turking-only browser. regular chrome is everything else. firefox is emergency backup browser.

 

That sounds smart, but I'm not sure why. Do you use a separate browser for security reasons or convenience ones?

 

for security and also to minimize distractions while turking

 

I don't know if this would stop any security concerns you have, but have you tried creating a second instance of regular chrome? That's not really a suggestion, I'm just curious. I've never really given much thought to security while turking.

 

idk how to do that, but I switched everything to firefox just now. it seems good so far, just weird at first.

It doesn't look too hard if you ever feel like trying it out. The steps look similar to creating a chrome shortcut... except with chrome. I'm not entirely sure how separate the two instances would be though, like how much info would they share or whatever.

Yeah FF is kinda weird to use. It looks eerily similar to chrome, but not at the same time.
