Though I violently agree with the principle, I once saw data suggesting the number of end-users who are comfortable discovering and tweaking browser preferences to be pretty low, fwiw.

I’m not suggesting giving an API is the better anwer here; but shoving things in browser config is not as obvious a win as it seems. >Received on Friday, 16 January 2015 21:46:02 UTC
