Is this the first use of the <blink> tag on LWN?

Perhaps more importantly, is it the last?

The article triggered me to check for Firefox updates, so I'll never know.

Given that a snippet of JavaScript required to implement a <blink> tag (or a .blinking class) is not exactly long OR complicated, this removal is unlikely to affect anybody.

But what will happen to Geocities?
Firefox 23 available Posted Aug 8, 2013 16:13 UTC (Thu) by rgmoore (subscriber, #75) [Link] Given that "blink" is still a valid text decoration style in CSS2.1, it's even easier. You just need to replace the <blink> tag with a <span class="blink"> tag and an appropriate definition in your CSS file, and you're good to go.

Not really. The release note says:
> Dropped blink effect from text-decoration: blink; and completely removed <blink> element

.. is gone, with the Firefox developers taking a notably GNOME-like attitude to users about it:

I wonder if there's a good browser to jump to which isn't so privacy-sucking as Chrome?

Uhm. What's wrong with Chrome's privacy? Just turn off all the Google stuff and you're good.
