Things are always broken at launch; you can’t prevent all the bugs and unexpected things always happen.

IMHO it’s a very good thing we’ve "accepted things are going to broken at launch"; the "ship early, release often" model works a lot better than "wait 10 years before release so that everything is perfect but you’re 9 years late".

Around ~2000 it became common knowledge to download the latest driver from the net instead of using the supplied one on the CD for hardware you just bought.

That is the assumption of broken hardware to be shipped 17 years avant la lettre?

I totally understand your point, but WhatRuns is not a broken extension. Google blessed us with more than 10k+ active users by featuring us on the Chrome Webstore front page :) and we have been improving the technology ever since.

However, there is a lot of manual labour involved in correcting detection inaccuracies, which our team is working full-time on. Rest assured WR will only improve from here on. Thank you for dropping by!

Try running it on www.example.com and let me know how many of those are accurate.
