I have good news for you: there is a USE flag (for firefox, even!) and you are welcome to disable it. This is much more than you can do on other distros. Kindly extend others the same courtesy of being able to enable it. Gentoo itself doesn't take sides. Calling for its global removal from Gentoo is: - offensive - a waste of breath, nobody with power is listening to you - pointless, since it does not help you in any way -- Eli Schwartz
