Ok, I see. The issue is the people who cannot handle the concept of using
different browsers for accessing different web sites. Before web 2.0,
as near as 5-10 years ago, it was not a concept, it was a fact of life.

The idea of one universal browser for universal use with every web site,
on every occasion, with every screen size, for every user, every day - it is a mirage.
