Mozilla Now Even Includes The Kitchen Sink

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the funny-feature-creep dept.

zzxc writes "Mozillazine reports that a 'kitchen sink' easter egg has been added into Mozilla by a patch to bug 122411. It shows an ASCII art animated kitchen sink. This was prompted by people complaining about Mozilla's bloat - that 'it includes everything but the kitchen sink.' You can see this xhtml demo by going to about:kitchensink in a recent Mozilla nightly, or at mozilla.org with an older mozilla build. Please note that this is not actually included in the browser package, so it doesn't add to mozilla's bloat. Instead, about:kitchensink directs the user to the xml document on mozilla's website."

    FLIBBERTY GIBBERTY IF I TRY TO GO TO WOMENCENTRAL.MSN.COM WITH OPERA TWO LINES ARE OBSCURED BY CSS ELEMENTS! IT'S OBVIOUSLY A MICROSOFT CONSPIRACY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM USING SHITTY BROWSERS!



    Yeah, do you remember that? Slashdot is hypocritical, and always has been. You're right, it's a silly animation and I personally think it's retarded that slashdot is reporting on an easter egg anyway. But don't say that it's not hypocritical because you KNOW that if the exact same thing happened with Microsoft closing something to anything but IE, you and the rest of slashdot would throw a giant hissy fit about it.

    wrong as phoenix has doubles in size over the past few releases.. Now we have that damned sidebar back and I am sure that a large amount of the bloat coming from mozilla will get into it.

    Although.. the search box is something that NEEDS to be added to mozilla.. right next to the URL box..
