It has zero usability issues as it shares Chrome's engine and of course is well tested for MS web apps.

I like the subtle reference to the US postal service :-)

Absolutely... who cares about tomorrow if I can't live today? And if of course, like anyone, I'm too proud to depend on others, because nobody in their right mind would like to be in debt to the "west"
