    For some, sure. For me, no… I genuinely feel bad for anybody who’s head is so far up their ass that they fail to see the humour around the irony here.

    I am also genuinely confused as to how there can be documentation for a web browser that has gendered terms in it in the first place… Aside from the browser name, what other gendered terms would there be?

      For example developers or users could be referred to with a default male pronoun (if the user wants … he can …) when, and that might surprise you, women and queer people do exist and do in fact exist and might even use browsers or develop software. There’s no need to be exclusive.
