Well said, Max.
There are a plethora of browsers out there, and there's no reason to
stay with one from an untrusted vendor. One of my favorite Mozilla
features is bookmark groups - which allows me to save all open tabs in
a window to one bookmark. It's a great feature when you're researching
a specific subject and want to keep track of it.
I feel bad for Gina and anyone else who may have been hit by this, but
when it comes to MS my policy is "no sympathy for the devil".
