Comincio ad attendere con impazienza che prima o poi qualcuno si decida a far partire un fork di Firefox.

“We are thrilled to be working with Mozilla and to explore a great opportunity that benefits both our communities of users,” said Harald Eisenà¤cher, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, eBay in Germany. “Our work together will help the great community of Firefox users more easily use eBay and stay up to date with their auctions.”

Questo é solo “l’inizio” di una collaborazione, quindi mi aspetto che in futuro le cose peggiorino.
Ricordo ancora con piacere quando da quel mostro di Mozilla uscì quella meraviglia di Phoenix.
