Not sure why there was a decision to drop support for BSDs. I assume it's because of the switch to Chrome as a backend? Was there any technical reason you all couldn't use a FOSS browser backend like Chromium? I find it a silly choice to force a proprietary web browser maintained by an advertising agency to use a piece of FOSS software. Any chances of getting a Chromium backend, and thus eventually a FreeBSD version again?
