The most important thing for Namecoin is Tor Browser integration to simplify it's use for users........How is that progressing?  Have the Tor people moved on or are they still interested?  

Brave Browser might add resolver has there been any discussion with Brave Browser?

The Namecoin integration in Tor Browser Nightly wasn't talked about publicly until it was merged and the Tor Browser Team gave me a green light to give a surprise talk at 36C3 about it.  The next similar announcement will probably follow a similar PR path.  I don't really like being unable to talk about in-progress work, but unfortunately that's how this kind of stuff works.  Work is happening here though.

Considering one of founders of Mozilla just flipped out over them accepting Bitcoin donations making firefox stop accepting them will it affect Tor Firefox relationship from integrating Namecoin?

I think that must be his angle he would bust a nut in a fat heifer if Namecoin got integrated into Firefox lol........

Thanks for surfacing that; I wasn't aware of this particular drama.  I think it's unlikely to impact us, but hard to know.  Definitely useful to be aware of it.  FWIW the Namecoin.org FAQ has a section on global heating.

Tor just issued a statement they will scrap the partnership. No reason to integrate a random old coin in their systems. You guys have a stain of hauteur on u. U make things up trying to insinuate that the coin u have been bagholding for 5 years, is worth a dime. U have become too gross in thinking that someone else cares about ur unicorn bags.

Citation needed on all of these factual claims please.
