Calming down :) I didn't me to rant, actually. I agree progress is being made and no extensions are not "necessary". You are wrong about Firefox 3.5 though, but your mileage may vary. I've been using Version 4 Chromium for some time (the dev releases) and the extension system is still very lacking. The UI is practically non-existent and there are very few extensions developed now. The Theme stuff is very basic and needs more done. I expect these to get better over time, of course. Maybe you could chill too :) I honestly think a year is long enough to have a stable browser, but I could be wrong, and usually I am :) Best wishes!
