sounds really nice, but why would we want to pass along such strongly
minimalistic
"un-de-freedomed" browsers along to the normal people specifically without
added security features? this basically lands them back right where they
started since they are immediately washed clean and then re-exposed to the
filth of the world again. we have to help them but "here don't go alone, take
this!" without security- without defense there is nothing worth defending.
