Excuse my good old-fashioned American turkeyness of last year, but if it's not

without getting hacked in the kernel from all those stray pointers escaping
from
Firefox? Sure, ASLR helps, but I want a basic browser capable of running
Javascript
securely in a thread-safe jail without crashing on double frees,
running out of
memory, and selling more cookies than the Girl Scouts, that
somehow manages to
maintain more hidden access logs than a Swiss bank on MY
personal computer,
regardless of the privacy settings I choose. Is surf a
better browser, or are there
other suggestions?
Surely OpenBSD would not be
accused of antitrust for integrating a browser into
the operating system, or
at least coming up with or pointing users toward a decent
port if there is
one. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but what I'm getting at is that I
want/need a secure standards-compliant graphical client for web access.

instead of 2? Also kbd can change the keyboard
mapping as a regular user,
but it cannot list the available keyboard mappings
without being r00t, and
it doesn't take effect until I log out and back in to
X-Windows. Why is
this, and how do I type diacritical marks like circumflex
carets and other
accents, umlauts, ruotsalainen o, etc. in OpenBSD?
This thread belongs to
misc@ and not www@
post your dmesg, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
for mapping keys in X see man xmodmap
Why
machdep.allowaperture and what is done by this setting see

I LOVE this guy... "turkeyness" "Girl Scouts" "Swiss bank" - that's what
I call a good old fashioned blue blooded American perkiness! In fact,
the lingo kept me reading and now I'm actually interested in this
browser he is looking for.r
