Thank you for the heads-up. It paints a frightening picture. It's also
another reason to never let anything automatically upgrade. ;-)

Once the new crap is all there is, it's definitely time to move on to
another browser. I'm not sure that's going to be a significant event, so
long as there is a convenient way to import bookmarks into the chosen
replacemnt application.
