I use midori here. Every once in a great while I will run firefox to
look at something or see some behavior, but I almost never have it
running. Please don't speak for others when you don't really know the
answer to the question.

Sure. I agree, but just discussing something or being vocal about it
means you expect someone else to do the work. In an all volunteer setup
like Fedora, you may have to realize that this means it won't be done
unless someone steps up to do it.
