Dear Internet Admins, I have a bug-less report, Not enough bugs on the web. Why aren't we calling cookies "spiders"? Spiders are sneaky and discreet. They hide in corners and silently gather information, just like these web "spiders" Cookies might sound harmless and delicious but they're EVIL! They watch us everywhere! Could you also update advertisements to call them "flies" and AdBlock to "bug spray"

Please can you push these Updates to the Web!!!!

I would first disable the beta feature called "JavaScript." It's been broken for a long time and it's annoying.

There's nothing inherently evil to cookies. It just client-side storage that allows information to be stored between HTTP requests.

It is because the term "spider" is already used in computing to refer to web crawler programs.
