Should it?

I still prefer Firefox for most of my browsing. Mostly due to the 
flexibility to adapt it with extensions. And due to my impression that 
they may at least still somewhat care about values important to me. But I 
am not so sure on this anymore.

I miss the days where KDE still had their own web browser engine KHTML. 
Nowadays it seems the browser market is mostly a duopoly. And the web… 
mostly broken.
