    Netscape 3 with integrated mail and news is still the best internet experience that’s ever been conceived or designed or implemented. Communicator screwed it all up less than a year later but it was the best while it lasted.

      Fast forward nearly 30 years and pretty much everyone uses webmail, so building a web-based client into your browser to poorly interact with an existing web-based service seems questionable.

      If I want something to do a shit job accessing Gmail’s shitty non-standard service, I can always let thunderbird do a shit job.

        Just because you force yourself to use Gmail, it doesn’t mean that Thunderbird is shit for others.

          Nobody ever said it was Nobody ever said I force myself to use Gmail, although it would be pretty dumb of you to ignore it’s massive popularity.
