Yep, chat makes sense. Thank you for actually stating a use-case.
Next time you see a shortened word, you can just assume it's useful. Because they are.
But more to the point, 'vulns' seems like a very unnatural abbreviation. I would go with v11n (similar to i18n).
Honest question - why do people use Chrome? It’s from an arguably as-evil company as Facebook. Alternatives exist. What’s the draw?

> Does anyone actually use this abbreviation? More common in plural (vulns). However, it sounds oddly vulgar in my ears.
I've typed it, but I dunno if I've ever said it out loud. Kind of like i18n.

I gave Firefox an honest go, but some web apps just don't work 100% in it. Chrome does not have this issue. Most of us drive cars filled with fuel from evil oil companies, why do we all drive cars?
...we don't?

This blog post is so watered down and manages to digress at every possible point that it is almost impossible to read. The only useful part of the text are the URLs. Also, this: > A vulnerability, or vuln for short, is a bug that makes software go wrong in a way that reduces computer security. Does anyone actually use this abbreviation?

Not really, I have seen a lot of unneeded abbreviations. Thankfully we are (almost) out of the age of 140c messages and 40c editor lines. But more to the point, 'vulns' seems like a very unnatural abbreviation. I would go with v11n (similar to i18n).

Please no. I really don't like that convention and would rather you just type out the whole word if that's the alternative. Worse yet, for some reason you've decided to end in `n` rather than `y`.
How can you dismiss the first four letters as an "unnatural" abbreviation, and then suggest inserting digits to represent the number of characters removed as an alternative? I'm not following that logic at all.
