  6. On topic: Religion! by Gertlex · · Score: 2, Funny
    We really are trying to make it less of a religious thing. The whole browser space in general has traditionally been very religious.


    No way... It must remain a religion... I just redyed my black Firefox hat again a few days ago (I shit you not, the black fades to orange because of my sin: being outside too much).

    They created a holy grail already too...
    Surely you've seen it?: http://developer.mozilla.org/contests/extendfirefo x/images/grand-prize-pc.png

    It's religious, and IE will burn in flames less holy than those of the great fox.
