> learn how to respect the native operating system UI guidelines

Your comment is almost worthwhile just for the irony in this.

Tabbed browsing basically hijacks window management away from the OS. Tabs are always implemented customly in-app (UI break) - and break the UX of window finding, switching, etc. (doubly annoying in a tiling WM, btw). That's all browsers.

Yeah, they're just squatting on that cyberspace and not letting other people through.

Plus, FF is bundled/pre-installed everywhere nowadays; sickening! Your hatred is well placed.</s>

Funny, as an early windows user, I had gotten very used to alt-tab for inter-app switching and ctrl-tab for in-app tab/subscreen switching... which works for browser tabs for me... add in shift to reverse the direction.

So what's exactly your point? How does Mozilla interfere with your life and worsen it, so that wishing them to "die" would be justified?

Why don't you just ignore them? Why do you want thousands of people to lose their job and why do you want to take away an open source software that's liked by millions of users?

So, it's OK when thousands of people here say that they wish Microsoft would go away but I can't say that about Mozilla?

Makes sense.

Perhaps it's less about popularity and more your delivery.

I would be much less doubting in your position. I downvoted and flagged you for your jerkish rhetoric because it doesn't contribute to the discussion.

Sure it does. I asked why Chrome, not being open sourced, is "bad" for the ecosystem. Unfortunately, I packaged that with an unpopular opinion. Hence, the censorship doled out by yourself and others. Way to go!

Nah, that fate should be reserved for Mozilla, apparently.

"No, I much prefer that Mozilla just go away and die."

If you're going to try to split hairs over "kill them" versus "go away and die", you're going to have trouble convincing people.

If you don't think there's actually a big difference between actively trying to kill something and hoping that it just goes away and dies, then I guess there's nothing else to talk about.

It's a good thing that people don't need much convincing since Firefox is apparently dying anyway. Good riddance I say :)
