I believe this is saying counters is for garbage collection, counting the number of references to any given data. Direct or Indirect to help it create a more accurate pointer for recalling that data or releasing it from cache? correct me if i am wrong, I am new..It was just more fun to google than to study.
Problem
I just noticed by accident that WebKit and Firefox define a global variable called "Counter" in the window. Any idea of what this is? On Chrome, it appears as such in the watch: ``` Counter: function Counter() { [native code] } ``` Note: this variable is not present on IE (tested with version 10)
