    Wellcome to the lonely world of Firefox users. The sad thing is that Firefox desktop and Firefox android are identical. This breaking is probably due to someone trying to be fancy …

    Short answer: because they understand that with the current mess, they could very well be next. Excluding Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria, I don't think for the rest it has _that_ muc…
