WRT to the "bloatware" label, I feel compelled to point out that Opera
with the zoom feature (and many, many others for which Firefox requires
extensions) is a 20% smaller download than Firefox without.
This is not bashing Firefox, but your reasoning seemed to imply that
Firefox's commitment to reducing bloat through extensions automatically
made it less bloated than Opera. This is not the case.
