Once upon a time, Internet Explorer was a brand that Mac OS couldn't do
without. But it's not a good idea for an OS vendor to be dependent on
an ISV that's far more interested in Windows, so Apple acted
accordingly. The same problem applies to Firefox on Linux-based OSes,
just not as much yet.

True, Internet Explorer wasn't Free Software, but neither is Firefox
unless you debrand it. And if you do that, whoops, you've lost that
"Firefox brand".

Can I get a t-shirt with this?

Cheers, Xan
