Well, browser.org is registered by Netlink, not me. If I leave Netlink,
it would be up to Netlink's hostmaster as to what happens to browser.org
(by a remarkable coincidence, the new Netlink hostmaster happens to be,
well, possibly my best friend, so I think it's safe... :-)

I'll do everything in my power to make browser.org a stable name.
