They just don’t know that surfing the web can be analogous to playing Katamari Damacy, where simply browsing can accumulate cruft until [...]
I’ve changed roles at Mozilla, and have been working a lot less with external groups we work with on Firefox and more with partners interested in Firefox OS.
