The desire to do that is the reason for Rust.
- staticelf 9y agoOkay, well I hope the best for the new engine. Can't wait untill it's actually deployed live into normal Firefox builds. I love Firefox and I really like Mozilla (even though they like everyone else does stupid stuff sometimes, like fireing Brendan). I hope Firefox will take back some market share from Chrome.
