You are an idiot... Rather staying with Chrome UI clone Firefox from Mozilla which perverts Open Source to the bone than using a browser from developers which care and love power users and add feature after feature for them which may be closed, but has a much more open attitude
>>
>>51822757
Oh .. how do you like it that Mozilla takes more and more features away? Open Source is real cool right, where developers shit on the opinion of users and rape their own product to make it more attractive for simple fags.

/irony mode on
Yes, Mozilla is a very proud example of an Open Source software! And Open Source is cure for everything.
/irony mode off
