While at Google a couple of weeks ago, I gave my "How the FreeBSD Project

This is a Problematic Page
Problems accessing with these browsers:
        Mozilla consistently crashes when I view this web page.
                (hang on transferring, page refresh fails on X page change)

Google Video relies on a Flash plugin to play -- I have no problem viewing the page using Mozilla w/o the plugin, but obviously no live video. If I click "Download" for "Windows/Mac", the download begins and runs fine. On my Mac, the Flash support in Safari has no problem playing it. I've not tried using the Linux or other flash plugins on FreeBSD recently, and as a result I get fewer crumby ads. :-)

        Dillo   I dont see how to start download.
        Mosaic  I dont see how to start download.
        Amaya   I dont see how to start download.
        Chimera "Could not load the first document because the document did not 
exist or the URL was incorrect."
        Amaya   reports parsing errors (but log empty) (but that an old
                binary based on 6.1 tree, lib problem not impossible)
        Kazekahase      First browser I tried that shows frames & enormous
                        empty frame with
                                "Click to download a plug in"
                        Which when clicked does nothing.
                        Finally one's eye finds a small download
                        button off to right & download starts for

This is the same talk I've given previously at EuroBSDCon, AsiaBSDCon,
UKUUG, and LinuxForum in the last six motnhs; it's significantly enhanced
from the version that I gave at BSDCan last year (the first time I gave it).

Nice one! I've linked it at
