Panel 1
Alex stands in front of a cluttered work desk with several browsers open on their computer screen. Sam is sitting across, scrolling through a list of Firefox forks on their phone. Sam (deadpan)
Alex: Look, Sam! Firefox 156 just dropped with all these forks. It's like a buffet for browser lovers!
Sam: And the forks are just to stab your eyes out.
Panel 2
Robin enters, holding a tangle of cables and various browser icons floating around them.
Robin: Hey, I found the perfect browser for everyone! It's called 'MixBrowser'—it's like a salad bar of features!
Alex: That sounds amazing! I can customize it just the way I like.
Robin: And if you don't like it, you can just throw it away and make another one!
Panel 3
Alex and Sam look at each other, then back at Robin, who is now assembling a browser on the desk with various parts and icons. Sam (smiling slightly) Robin (cheerfully)
Sam: So, what's the catch?
Robin: No catch! Just a lot of options. Pick your poison and make it your own!
Alex: I like it! It's like building a car from scratch.
Robin: Exactly! The more forks, the merrier!
