If I have to trust you to give me back my $10, I'm never contributing to your code. Ever. If I have to trust GitHub to give me back my $10, frankly, I have more trust for a random person on the internet at this point. Also, you glossed over my banana joke, but it did hold meaning[0] > Yes, and what is the problem with [closing down PRs and Issues] solution? Are you serious? I mean it is an acceptable solution but it's completely orthogonal to the one we've been discussing. I can see you're not serious. I was skeptical because the first comment, but thanks for making that clear now. [0] [VIDEO]

> I've never seen a real video, it may as well be a common saying after being on the internet for a so long time. I mean, I can show you the video: [VIDEO] But that has nothing to do with Bill Gates or any other person named Gates. (You might be aware that Bill Gates isn't a woman.) It's a joke on a comedy show. It's not something anyone has ever said.

I forgot to mention the best part, punch line: Vivaldi rewrites Session_/Tab_ files every time you close a Tab (and I think sometimes on open, or maybe a timer), so that in case of browser crash you can recover your session with all tabs intact. Yes, thats right, Vivaldi rewrites tens of megabytes on a whim. For me average is ~2.6GB per day/ ~1TB/year. Just to nail the point home - couple of latest snapshots have a bug where they dont clear previous entries in Tabs_ [LINK] After ~23 restarts Tabs_ file grew to 144MB, still being rewritten every time you close a Tab :o, and grows by 6MB every restart. How wasteful is Vivaldi/Chrome [LINK] : \AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Network\TransportSecurity ~700KB file is being regularly deleted and recreated [LINK] This 700KB file is being rewritten 2-4 times _per minute_ while only updating ~10 entries inside. Here is an example of whats inside TransportSecurity [LINK] Those entries arent even important for permanent storage ... and the only data changing is expiry. WTF is going on? \AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Preferences again ~700KB, also only useless stuff changes between rewrites, like: "last_visited" "language_model_counters" "predictionmodelfetcher" ""expiration" "last_modified" "visits" "lastEngagementTime" useless stats, if anything (why would I need those exactly?) those all belong in a database file somewhere. ~100 byte change forces 700KB file rewrite multiple times per minute. \AppData\Local\Vivaldi\U
