Exploring subjective reality

Hello, Habr!



The world around us is objective - it exists regardless of whether we exist in it. The laws of nature have worked for billions of years, they work now and will work forever, until the next singularity. These laws, simple and complex, are united by one property - they are reliable, inevitable and cannot be circumvented. Therefore, humanity has been studying these laws throughout its conscious life in order to better adapt to the changes they make in the objective world. It looks logical and simple - study the laws, follow them and get the maximum result. But things get more complicated when the factor of subjectivity comes into play.



The fact is that the objective world around us in our consciousness changes slightly due to the peculiarities of subjective perception. So, for example, a resident of northern latitudes who came to visit St. Petersburg in the fall will feel cold from the heat, but a representative of the tropics will freeze even at +20 on the thermometer outside the window. We perceive the same phenomena in different ways, depending on our habits, accumulated experience, personal preferences.



Therefore, studying the laws of nature is, of course, a very important and necessary occupation, but it is no less interesting and useful to understand subjective reality - not what it really is, but what people see and feel. Obviously, having thoroughly (in our subjective opinion) pepper the dish for our Indian guest, we risk offering him a rather bland (in his subjective opinion) concoction.



So we decided today to conduct such a Friday survey - a little research in the field of, of course, browsers is our favorite topic. And the questions will concern, also quite naturally, the Vivaldi browser - in this case it will act as a test inventory.



There will be only four answers, they are simple. But we will complicate the survey form a little - in the comments we will ask you to explain your choice a little more in detail, giving one or several reasons. The survey is offered to absolutely all readers, regardless of which browser you use.



So, let's try - we hope that the results may be interesting and unexpected to some extent both for us and for the readers of Habr themselves.
