Those people are not the target demographic for this device though, are they? People who are privacy focused enough to want a fully open device don't tend to use those services.

Meanwhile, the main reason I'm not still using the N900 is that it can't handle modern websites, which is due to:
  1. Hardware limitations
  2. Old version of Firefox
  3. No support for extensions to block bloat

There's nothing you can do about 1), but 2) and 3) are solved by using normal desktop Firefox without a load of custom UI stuff on top that breaks extensions and prevents it from being updated.
