Perhaps you are under the impression I am attacking Firefox. I am not. I 
use Firefox exclusively and love it, and recommend it to everyone. This 
is not about AnyBrowser v. AnyOtherBrowser, this is about you explicitly 
claiming a certain browser has features that I can't find as an excuse 
to not use server-based filtering on Wikipedia. You need to show that 
the features exist if you're going to use their existance as a basis for 
your argument, because others don't see them.
