Good to hear.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I've been using FF for the past year.

What use or don't use makes no difference.
My house that I designed when I was 26 made it to the cover of House Beautiful, can you say the same?
Wasn't House Beautiful first published in 1896?

[just in case, joke alert! :twisted: ]

Here's a fact: italics are hard to read.

Like, in the grand scheme of things, I'd describe using them for body text as, oh, a disaster.

Is their usage here just temporary?

Ah...I have no italics in Chrome, but do in Firefox. I agree.

One other small thing - the page/tab headings. I tend to open a bunch of tabs at once and it's hard to get back to the one I want without clicking through all of them. They just say "Matthew's Volvo..."
