the "hover over a link to read the top paragraph of the wikipedia article" feature is exactly the sort of thing i would dislike. but actually it's extremely fucking useful and stops you opening a billion tabs. it's actually an extremely web 1.0 OG hypertext Dream Of A Connected Infosphere World type of feature

So I'm on Chrome at work (never bothered to switch to Firefox) and... scrollbars are significantly more difficult to click on and I never realized how much I appreciated Firefox's unstyled scrollbars
However. I would still like styleable scrollbars on Firefox, plus an option to destyle them

(As an aside, it is interesting to note they're talking about the game being 24 megs. Especially since that's Mega *bits* , not Mega *bytes* ... So actually 3Mb game size, aka 2 floppies. Odd bit of trivia there.)

This is clever and how it should be done: Mozilla sends your browser a list of links, then your *browser* runs the personallization algorithm on its end, so Mozilla doesn't get to see it. So you get personalized suggestions without the spying.

Downside I could see of this is that if you are on dial up, or limited bandwidth it wastes data, so I hope it can be disabled.
