in firefox.
Con Suspicious upvotes
Lots of suspicious looking upvotes by members that show no other activity.
Con Limited extensibility
The number of available plugins is limited. As far as I know, plugins need to be written in C++ which could be somewhat of a barrier for third party developers with the need to extend the core product.
