I agree with both statements.  I do see things in today’s www that I’m
unhappy with, but I think it’s important to provide our users with a

I have to say that Andreas, Mark, Marius, and others who worked on
IceCat and Chromium packaging are heroes: it’s a huge effort and we can
be grateful for that!
