...Or at least be aware of the fact that more than one (broken) Web browser
exists. Oh, actually there are many other browsers 'whose' success had nothing
to do with disgraceful crime (/and/ conviction involving $billion in fines).
I find it ironic that banks -- of all institutes that are out there -- liaise
with the criminal (of all companies that are out there). Let's not get started
with the BBC, the British Library and National Archives again...
