Just so I don’t get this comment killed, here’s some text calmly explaining that electron is based off blink, and implementing a browser in it is like using a text editor’s scripting feature to reimplement the cursor.
There’s lack of reading, albeit not necessarily due to television (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/01/the-dec...)
There’s a direct link between television and obesity (http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/75/5/807)
And more general health dangers (http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/newsplus/prolonged-tel...)
Etcetera
Assuming a reasonable portion of these are refugees(or from third world countries), wouldn’t that be a fair link to make? Malnutrition has a clearly established link to lower IQs, hence migrants having a lowe IQ(iirc, Nordic countries have the Flynn effect strongest, so this link might hold true even for immigrants from developed nations).
Chrome is a lot closer to IE in that it incorrectly implements standards to encourage developers and users to priorities it's platform(like a certain company[2])

You become fully immersed in Plato's worldview when reading The Republic, but if you were see someone explaining the allegory of the cave in the absence of a wider context you will only take the elements which fit your worldview and not his wider conception of knowledge.
I think this ties into what happened to the concept of a centralised computer network, working for the good of humanity, turning into todays fractured silos, working to mine individuals for profit.

There's also going directly to the AP(https://apnews.com/) for straight news articles, sans editorial, if that what you want.
