Actually many would especially if noscript is not available. I thought finally firefox had an easy flip switch like operas addable to chrome toolbar option with the console (ctrl F2 is it) but it seems it is currently broken and the main option has been removed from the main menu too :-( p.s. webgl, sockets, caches, dom_storage (dos) other annoyances maybe ipv6, dns prefetching, page prefetching detailed about:config type functionality is probably the main reason I would say firefox and opera are better than the other widely used browsers, especially chrome. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
