This is no joke brother... We will not rest until this issue is heard in the highest of courts. First they came for our <blink> tags and we laughed... then they came for our options to disable tabbed browser, and they said nothing... then they came for our option to not be tracked by online advertising agencies (javascript) and everyone was too busy sharing kitten photos on facebook to say a damned thing.

Yeah. It's satire about overreactions that are so prevalent on many tech sites (including this one). Colbert would be proud.

We have already begun to gather near Mozilla HQ in San Francisco...

Protesters can be heard chanting:

"WHAT DO WE WANT?"

"The ability to disable tabbed browsing"

"WHEN DO WE WANT IT"

"Possibly in the next point release, but the next major is cool too"
