Yeah, but hopefully people download a different browser if they have the choice
- JasonPenopolis0
all browsers should be open source... they will never make money from them so why not make it open?

Many people don't bother downloading FF because they already have one browser installed. If there's not one with the OS probably they will ask someone to do it or do a bit of research themselves eventually getting to know other browsers. The probability of installing FF or Chrome increases exponentially this way.
- majority of people now use FF according to w3school statsneverblink
- i thought that was only stats for that site? and id assume its a lot of web/mac people going to that site?JamesBoynton

How the hell can you download a browser without a browser!? hahahaha stupid - that's one consequence the EP didn't foresee! Might have predicted this though - guess they play checkers not chess. Fuckwits.
