  "Enzor-DeMeo's message triggered significant backlash from a portion of Firefox's user base, prompting some Mozilla developers to respond.

Does that count as user experience? Should RUM measure it?"

• The HTML Elements Time Forgot - HTMHell

  "there are far more obscure tags which are perhaps less visually dazzling but equally or even more interesting. If you're younger, this might very well be your introduction to them. If you're older, this still might be an introduction, but also possibly a trip down memory lane or a flashback to the horrors of the first browser war. It depends."
