    I think he means they both gang up and hit a site at the same time ;)

    And if I click on an .exe, my browser should execute it. No wait, that's not a good thing...

    I'd be more impressed if Oprah offered support for BitTorrent.

    Either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. Which is it?

    So I take it then that you're opposed to Firefox's inclusion of FTP and Gopher?

    Because I mean, come on, either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. You don't need to access gopher or FTP via a webbrowser, there are command line tools for that. And how often do you really use gopher anyway?

    Curse this mozilla featuritis! Just think, if they dropped support for Gopher, they could possibly remove an entire kilobyte of bloat!

    Will no one think of the kilobytes??
