The Armory

[Quark]

The armorys new function is completely useless.
Not only does it stall any and all of my browsers and just crashes eventually, but the notion of "upgrade" is pretty relative.
Meh, I still cringe whenever I go to the armory, just because it kills my browser.

Found this on EJ yesterday:

This is from ONE pageload on Armory. I think it says all that really needs to be said about why it kills browsers:
