And it seemed that you don't understand how Firefox receive delta
updates. You were NOT talking about Firefox delta update, but
downloading of files including Firefox's offline installer.
Users of Firefox does NOT check hashes. They just hit the Updaste button
within Firefox and trust the delta update process.
Did you read the subject? Do you know what delta update means?

You are the one suggesting *not* using delta upgrades (where TB/FF will check the authenticity for you) Instead you would download the full installer each time ... I was asking if you bother to check the hashes on that download or whether you just blindly install it and hope it's not been intercepted by $ADVERSARY

Often the download from OFFICIAL SERRVER is usually okay.I dunno why.
Why nobody intercepts my downloads and swap them with something bad and
witchy? :)
BTW, can a government (e.g. Hong Kong) or a country fake a Facebook
website? Is it easy and funny to do it?

We have zebra crossings. The term describes a specific method of painting the crosswalk on the street. If the crosswalk is painted as parallel lines, that is not a zebra crossing.

In UK, since I think about the 1970s, they've also had long zig-zags painted along the road edges for several car lengths either side of the actual crossing, which are no-parking zones. > > Zebra crossings, in and of themselves, are not effective. > >>> The term describes a specific method of >>> painting the crosswalk on the street. If the crosswalk is painted as >>> parallel lines, that is not a zebra crossing. Not sure what you mean by parallel lines. To me, a zebra crossing is broad alternating black and white stripes (I'm not sure they always bother with the black if the road surface is dark enough), at right angles to the direction of walking - the most well-known example being the cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road album. (JAIF: they renamed the recording studio the Abbey Road studio after the success of that album; it had previously been just the EMI recording studios _in_ Abbey Road.) I'd not come across the term crosswalk until captchas became common: I just guessed, from looking at them, that that's what a crosswalk is.
