I agree with you on this. However i have also seen that alot of malware and adware does indeed make it to the browser to make it more pathetic and i think its a good direction in that regard. However i think that they really need to actually think what users are going to use then just build random features that nobody really cares for. And the imitation game is definitely not good, why be separate if you're going to keep on imitating.

The problem is that the malware is going to find a way through anyway. Even if it has to replace firefox.exe with a custom compiled binary that removes the signature checking function; or simply patches out the check in the binary on your system like a warez crack.

This is going to impede regular users a lot more than the advertisers.
