Control question probably, to check if you actually read the questions.

I forgot those exist and interpreted it as "Would you sacrifice performance for one of these features?"

Am I stupid?

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I also thought it was a feature vs performance question. How can it be used as a control question?

[–] mke@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

By overestimating users' intelligence... classic blunder, really. 🧐

I jest, I've no idea.

Mozilla might be insane

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Makes sense. What about those who click that option as a joke? Maybe discount all other replies from that person because of that too?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

I mean, fair?

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

Or what if they don't click it by joke, but because they actually prefer a 2x slower browser over such a feature?

lol, yeah. 👍

I was doing a political poll just the other day and the third or fourth question was a color question like: “Which of the following is associated most with a ripe banana?”

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Eh, how ripe are we talking?

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 1 points 2 years ago

I debated because I really disliked another option in there (I think it was split-screen for AI or something stupid) and it felt like it was designed to make me not rank something else I didn't like as least desired.
