If you want to hide that as well, you will need to replace your "porn-mode" browser plugin with a "porn-and-stealth-mode plugin which instead of simple redaction spews Facebook URLs instead. (and you need also need to buy a faster laptop to keep up with the CPU-hungry reasoning engine used to pick Facebook URLs adequately non-random yet not themselves revealing - whatever that means...) If you want to save power and money, then go deep into the config options for your pron-mode plugin and enable "I trust everything on the Internet and want to treat all downloaded files as local when in porn mode". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
