There are hints here and there that give away that they're not a native speaker. For example:

Why are you going with chromium instead of gecko?

Most native speakers would say "Why did you go with" instead of "why are you going with".

Do you consider switching to Gecko

Mose native speakers would say something like "Have you considered switching to Gecko?" or possibly "Are you considering a switch to Gecko?"

I love ESL errors though. They give such a neat glimpse at how the grammar in the speaker's native language works. It's especially fun when you can guess their native language based on their English grammar.

My guess is that /u/niklasdah is German.

Try mead. It's fairly similar to white wine but probably easier to start with if you don't have the taste for it yet. At least that's how my experience has been, but I brew and drink a lot of mead.

If it's available locally, spiced mead is pretty great. Something with cloves in it.
