I think we actually need a tutorial on search. I'm not kidding either. Most
people seem incapable of effectively utilising search to locate information.
I myself find at times new features that I've never used before that can

Trisquel's Web browser is rebranded because the code shipped by Mozilla is

Obviously, I can't get abrowser to open any java applets.
I know that abrowser is essentially a rebranded Firefox. Why it's rebranded
is beyond me. /It's like calling a pizza a pie./ I also think that the

That is the point of asking for financial or technical contributions to the
