That's the most amazing thing of all to me, that you can believe that a
group of developers willfully acting against the users have produced
absolutely the best product available. With enemies like them, who
needs friends? ;)

I meant you're sapping *their* energy. They've spent a lot of time
rebutting your accusations that would have been better spent working on
the browser (or out having fun, even, recharging for browser work).

One "I wish there were a passwords manager" post would be sufficient.
But you never stop with that. I'm not even sure you realize how many
posts you've made about it, many of which accuse developers of acting
maliciously.

It's simply untrue that an individual user cannot influence a
developer.
I expect you yourself can't influence developers much, but IMO that's
because your approach to influencing them just involves harassing them.
I've influenced several of them myself, in various projects, including
extension developers, and gotten some features I wanted out of it. But
that wouldn't have happened if I'd opened by accusing them of hurting
their users intentionally.
