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."

    Besides the XML declaraton at the top, is there anything else about this page that couldn't be done with regular old XHTML? All I see is CCS, Javascript, and a little HTML.

    How can a very insightful recommendation be moderated as 'troll'.

    Seems like someone has a personal vendetta here. That's not cool, guys.

    They should make it a policy that if you re-distribute binaries, you must re-distribute source. That way they could benefit from the advancements that large corporations make to the system, and have more time to join mozilla as a developer and build tester. Instead of feeding free work to facists for nothing in the nothing in the name of ideological purity.
