Basically the same as Firefox. Any differences are likely due to presence of AdBlock on FF and variations in handling of css.

No, Telecoms want users to PAY for more data and not use it because it saturates their networks. For someone who works in the industry you seem to know very little about it.

and you still didn't answer my question.

It's pretty bad, with all the "improvements" that they've made. I still get by here every once in a while - more, lately, in fact - but there's not much to see.

I hope things are well with you.

As a wise man once said "and so it goes..."

Life, it beats the alternative. Hope things are well in your neck of the woods as well.

How many mass-murders by knife do you hear about?

Rwanda.

MInd you, they were big knives. Technically you'd probably class them as swords.

Oh, those evil assault knives with the shoulder thing that goes up and the bayonet mounts? Yeah. Only police and military should have those.

For years, we have had a cut-out in ITAR 121 that applies to Open Source, it is due to a lawsuit that Phil Karn brought against the Federal Government. Thus, you can implement with impunity, and export to anywhere, as long as it's Open Source.

Rather than an encryption gateway, having your email client handle encryption avoids the problem of man-in-the-middle attacks between the gateway and the client.

I don't have much reason to encrypt, but Thunderbird has my certificate installed and does my digital signing. This is not unusual for a modern email client.
