    I've been using this for 1 or 2 years and it makes my life so much easier... I don't understand why Firefox doesn't make this and Multi-account containers an integral part of the b…

    There are two (bad) extreme ideas: 1. Women are inferior and should never rule 2. Women are superior and can do no wrong True equality comes when we realize both men and women scre…

    I personally consider "very few preinstalled apps" a big plus! Uninstalling useless apps (if they are even uninstallable) is always a drag. To each it's own I guess...
