you mind to turn it on sometimes? What browser do you use (lynx,

not much choice. firefox.
Regrettably, it is.
Firefox is now more about:
* "users are too stupid to read"
* "let's not have any buttons so user's don't click one they shouldn't"
* "features confuse user, it's better to remove them/hide them".
The only plus side, is that standard-complaint browsers with market
share this way (a plus for web developers and standard-compliance).
I remember firefox sync used to have an encryption passphrase for
syncing data. Now that's gone, and users are motivated to PRINT an
auto-generated one, because "they can't remember the one that they set",
and "printing it is the safest way to make sure they don't loose it".
Of course, if you CAN remember passphrases, you can't set your own any more.
This stuff is happening all the time with firefox, and I hope some
OpenBSD-like developers branch firefox some day. "A browser for people
who can read" would be a great slogan.
You can always try xxxterm from Marco for a more secure browser.
It really isn't bad at all! Very Fast, small and I would say more
trusted then firefox or other, but sure no question, definitely more
trusted then IE. (;>
Doesn't support flash, but that's not a lost, I HATE flash! YMMV.
I am not going to say it's full feature and fully compliant, I never
tested it, but as long as it does what you need, who cares! May be some
journalist trying to write an article, but then what....
Just a thought. My son use it and preach it! Yeap!!!
Haven't been able to compile it on mac yet, but when time allow may be
in 20 years or so! (:>
