Sorry for not being clear. From a sentiment standpoint, it's good, and that's the relevant context for my comment. [0] From a technical standpoint, it's gray.

Anyway, while Conkeror support is certainly near one end of the technical goodwill spectrum, I think discovery via "ShowHN" is probably better than via an upset customer.

[1]: "Best viewed in IE6/Netscape" was standard at one point. Never mind the recent trend of jackassware "Upgrade to a modern browser" popups for anyone not using Chrome.
