Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 45.7.0 release

[awakeyet]

my point is, if you wanto change the bucket into boots, that it doesn't matter what type of boots you are wearing. why would you go swimming with boots? no matter what boots you wear, they will all fill with water when you swim in the ocean.

using a closed source operating system is like jumping in the ocean without a boat (not recommended) and expecting your boots to stay dry (browser = boots)

in order to do things correctly, you need a good boat like a free open source operating system like certain linux OS. then you get a good set of boots, like icecat. as always, there are storms and rain and all those things, but you might as well do a good job being safe right?
