1. It's a link for fuck's sake. It doesn't take IE9/Opera11/FF4 for a trivial damn <a href="...">...</a> to work properly. The fucking things have worked *exactly the same* since Mosaic (save for the "frame" extensions that nobody should ever use anyway). There *is no* cross-browser testing needed to get it right. There's barely any *thinking* needed to get it right. I could teach my sister to get it right. 2. If Mozilla ever decides to put out a successor to FF2 that isn't shit, and actually *does* follow the "customizability" that they constantly *pretend* to have, then I'll happily upgrade. Besides, every time I come across some self-important asshole of a site that feels it's their duty to try to tell me what fucking browser I should be using, it makes me want to stick with FF2 that much more. They're so anxious to cram half-assed under-engineered so-called-"technologies" down my throat? Well then fuck them. I'd go back to FF1 if I thought doing so would give them a hard time. (At least it looks nicer out-of-the-box without having to install winestripe.) It's not my fault everyone insists on making their software worse with each release.
