I'm sorry to hear we lost you as a user, and hope eventually you can
come back. I suspect that you aren't the only person whom we've lost
due to this.
I think that means that at least one of these three is a priority, IMO:
- Getting Chromium in
- Getting Firefox in (even if we remove the direct link to Mozilla's
extensions page and have to rebrand to Aurora)
- Getting a channels mechanism
These days Guix has nearly everything I need, but this is a clear gap
for many. Icecat helps a tremendous amount (and thank you thank you to
Mark for all your work keeping things patched) but I do think we need to
provide some other browser options.
