Hi Mike, Oleg,
It sounds like you guys have this under control, but I'm disappointed to
hear that you didn't like our browser. Of course, we're well aware of
some(/all?) of the bugs in it and it is definitely a work-in-progress,
but is there anything specifically that you didn't like?
Hopefully we can fix that and convince you to try it again in the
future :)
