My dream browser would be Arc browser design (side-only tabs, intuitive bookmarks, auto-closing tabs) with Webkit backend (battery life, speed, etc.) with Firefox's extension ecosystem.

It's okay to want kids.
It's okay to not want kids.
Stop asking couples if they're going to have kids.
Stop asking couples if they'll have **more** kids.
There are better questions to ask, like, should toilet paper hang over or under the roll?
