I'm sorry to hear we lost you as a user, and hope eventually you can come back. I suspect that you aren't the only person whom we've lost due to this. I think that means that at least one of these three is a priority, IMO: - Getting Chromium in - Getting Firefox in (even if we remove the direct link to Mozilla's extensions page and have to rebrand to Aurora) - Getting a channels mechanism These days Guix has nearly everything I need, but this is a clear gap for many. Icecat helps a tremendous amount (and thank you thank you to Mark for all your work keeping things patched) but I do think we need to provide some other browser options. - Chris
