From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Chrome has it for some reason so I guess they're just copying them

being chrome but slightly worse at some things and slightly better at other things certainly sounds like a winning move..

It's a stay-in-the-competition one. While I would love to see a ground breaking change soon, Mozilla surely can't do that in every update.

they're already out of the competition, let's not pretend that firefox has any significant amount of marketshare
