And do you think that would be the best outcome for Debian users? FWIW, I don't. I think the compromise that the security team is proposing is much more reasonable than such an alternative. Note that the presence of non-free extension in the 3rd party repositories that come pre-configured with Debian-distributed browsers (and incresingly more other software) is a different problem. And one we should tackle, IMHO, but that's for a separate discussion.
