I agree with both statements. I do see things in today=E2=80=99s www that = I=E2=80=99m unhappy with, but I think it=E2=80=99s important to provide our users with a recent browser. I have to say that Andreas, Mark, Marius, and others who worked on IceCat and Chromium packaging are heroes: it=E2=80=99s a huge effort and we= can be grateful for that! Ludo=E2=80=99.
