I mean, is that not like saying that a user will RTFM and disable all unnecessary services after their install? The OpenBSD mentality is the opposite - they will sacrifice convenience and disable all unnecessary services by default, in orde

I am happy with Apple keeping WebKit as the only option. Although it might seem counterintuitive, it is good for competition. If we aren't there already, we are at a real risk of Blink having a complete monopoly like IE had in the earl
