This is great and all - but what's the alternative?

I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for about 2 years now - and the javascript engine on it has recently... sh*t the bed (I cannot paste links or images into facebook, I cannot paste text with line breaks into twitter, I cannot paste using reddit's "markdownmode").

I use google-chrome for netflix, recently chromium stopped working for netflix (apprently the browser is no longer supported)

Edge isn't an option for me, brave isn't on my radar (WHY include cryptojunk with a BROWSER???, it's like the early 2000s where a major vendor was trying to claim that the browser is tied so closely to their kernel as to make it a part of an OS)

Is Opera any good?

The first language is incredibly important and I normally recommend javascript for the following reasons

- it's /highly/ accessible (any computer with a browser can compile and run javascript - you just need to get your browser to load the file)

- it shares a lot of its syntax with C-Style languages (which makes transference to other languages much easier

- it's 'relaxed' on how it enforces rules (now, this is contentious, should a learner be allowed to get away with mistakes that will haunt them later, or should a learner be hobbled and forced to be precise from the get-go, IMO the former is easier for people to upskil with than the latter)

- it's (currently) got commercial value (that is, you can get a job with javascript on your CV)
