Its not like we have sufficient staff to maintain a "Firefox but with |
| 12 |
GTK2" fork, heck, we can't even keep alsa support. |

I've gone to using other older firefox forks (palemoon) instead simply |
| 15 |
because this march of progress doesn't seem to be delivering on that |
| 16 |
"progress", only making the user experience more boring and generic, |
| 17 |
and thus, more useless. |

"One size fits all, copy everyone else" is not a useful axiom to me. |

But at this rate, every browser trying to be "more like what the masses |
| 22 |
want" will end me up having no browser that exists and works that works |

how I want. |
