I can't follow or understand you in everything above.

Purpose of community discussions is to yield with something
productive. Whatever I said in the first notion does not need to be
so, and I really don't mind when I see that discussion deviated from
the point.

I am not Don Quixote to fight mills for browser that few people use
and have decision making. EWW still cannot support customizable
content/types but I also do not find it hard to bypass it's functions.

At least there was "useful" (by irony) decision that "opening Org
files in Emacs is security risk" -- one big fricking LOL on
that. Emacs itself is security risk, as it is programming language and
security is measured by weakest chain.

Haven thanks Firefox developers did not complain on users setting
their own content types. Firefox can open Org content type and launch
Emacs on it, but Emacs "can't" as it is security risk.
