Hello,
For some time bothers me one topic. I'm not a programmer, so maybe answer
to my question is obvious. In UT we have browser app created by Canonical
team, yes? It's done almost from scratch and providing basic features. When
UT was starting, why programmers team doesn't decide to, instead of
creating new one, simply port ie. Firefox to fit UT?
Does porting Firefox would consume less resources that creating new browser?
It's general question for me - why there are many apps created again,
istead of making some ports of existing apps?

Best regards,
Krzysztof Tataradziński
