    See? This is what happens when the Mozilla people come up with their own ideas instead of just implementing the features from the previous version of Opera.

    I ignore all moderation here, especially down moderation as that is always disagreement. There should only be positive mods and they should not be limited to 5. Set your threshold wherever you like with that. There are no consequences to moderation any more either as the only thing it used to affect, order of comments if you used that no longer really exists.

    Awesome. I love having as much freedom to make my browser as irritating to use to my jerk friends who don't ask for permission to use my machine as possible. It's just a thing I like to do.

    That involves letting "friends" know that you don't want them to use the computer, which could get ugly.
