Shows how Linux can change to make people more comfortable with it

Now, Lets see windows with the look and feel of my Awesome Window Manager (Dynamic Window Manager). Maybe then I wouldn't feel sick to my stomach everytime I work with windows.

I agree with the statement that Simplicity and speed should always be priority #1. I have switched browsers frequently through the years and always for the same reason. A browser that was faster and whose main goal was to display HTML pages.

I moved to Phoenix because its start time was low and it was simple. At one point I even used the Java Web Browser for the same reason.

However, Firefox has become slower over time. This prompted my switch to chrome. I am sure that I will switch again when chrome becomes too slow (Uzbl or Surf look good)

It would be nice to see Firefox return to its roots.

I've never understood that argument. I see that my documents are safer on the web on Google Servers then they are bouncing around on my laptop in the back of my car. I doubt that Google ever allows employees to take home backup tapes like the State of Ohio did until they were stolen

I really think laptops with important data on them are more of a threat to privacy then Google will ever be.

I always find it funny when I get a popup from my browser on Linux asking if I would like a anti-virus scan. Sometimes it will show me how my C: drive is corrupted and would I like to pay for a version of their anti virus software. One of these even offered to replace my system32.dll . This just shows how fake these scans really are
