   This makes me realize that the Chrome/Edge developers are probably not   
   targeting people with old hardware in an effort to get them to buy new   
   hardware, because most people have already been conned into buying newer   
   hardware and into using Windows. So they already have them where they want   
   them.   
      
   It seems like this is an effort to target the smaller population of PC users   
   who use linux and/or older machines. How are they victimizing the   
   Windows/newer PC people already, and why do they care to get the smaller   
   population on-board?   
      
   Maybe the newer GPUs (and I hope I 'm wrong about this) are releasing toxic   
   chemicals, or something. Spying seems like a good guess too but I just don't   
   see how it's possible through the GPU.
