I certainly was not viewing Gopher pages at the time they dropped gopher support. I was rather perplexed after updating when FTP didn't work. Turns out some downloads are still on FTP.

Proper solution is to direct the user of unknown protocol scheme to the vetted app store or a catalog.

But wait, Windows does that since Vista, except like everything it's faulty.
