To me, they absolutely shunned their core audience -- people who wanted greater flexibility and configurability than existing browsers could give them. As a power user who used to have Firefox humming along exactly how I wanted it (thanks

Can I ask, purely in the spirit of potential solutions (as opposed to the meta question of whether you should have to do this) -- there's a link there for "Claim this Knowledge Panel". One would presume that it would give yo

I'm reminded of a paragraph in the Buzzfeed News investigation that brought this to light, indicating that Mikkelson in early days of Usenet was particularly known for trolling. That response to your inquiry seems particularly trollis

If this was treated as a linked-to-Google property, it would have been Google Travel - Weather Trends and would've been canceled along with the rest of Google Travel like 87% of their projects.
