I read through the linked issue and then started on the one that was linked when the first issue was closed, even though the debate went on for several more years after it was closed and frankly gave up.

There was an unstructured debate between several people discussing what each of them thought was important and sometimes they even responded to each other.

One comment pointed out that this debate had gone on for seven years.

From my understanding, it’s been implemented in Chrome for all of those years.

The sky hasn’t fallen down, hell hasn’t frozen over and pigs still are rooted firmly on the ground.

If you ever wonder why people don’t use Firefox more, I cannot think of a better example.

As for a formal Mozilla position on the matter, I have yet to see anything beyond apathy.
