There are interesting differences between the continents (probably even greater differences between countries, too): * Firefox is No 1 (tied or otherwise) in Africa and Europe, and second in North America * Chrome is safely in second in Asi

Next: All snail mail will be opened, read, and unsuitable text will be tippexed out. Phone calls may be monitored and interupted if necessary. This road leads to a bad place.

This is in no way a software issue, this is a social issue. Everywhere people are complaining about everything that doesn't work exactly according to their wishes. Not seldom in order to gain something themselves, such as threating hotels w
