Comment 53 for bug 1054776

It occurs to me that this is turning out to be like when Google Chrome ditched "http://" in the address bar. They even opened a bug to "solicit feedback" but, when people came out of the woodwork to give good reasons for keeping it and kept asking them to give their own rationale for removing it on a desktop-sized screen, they just did their own thing and ignored it.

Finally, after a year without a clear answer, they decided the feedback bug was too distracting and shut down further comments on it. (Typical Google, really.)

That was when I switched back to Firefox. I'm just glad that Ubuntu is modular enough that I can continue to run Lubuntu and not be affected by this.
