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.

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.
