This conversation of using browsers and http to get files from the Freenet is IMO somewhat questionable. This would mean at least for most of Windows users that they would type the key to the browser and after that I suppose there is no use of talking about anonymous or secure transfers. I don't know what is the current situation but I don't much trust the IE and since we cannot be sure how browsers work and what kind of information they collect or how vulnerable they are now (or in the future) I don't like this thing at all. In the worst case there would be a reference to every file you have requested on the browsers history file and I don't like that kinds of things. I'd suggest that we implement our own clients and before making any plugins for other softwares it is needed to discuss whether that will compromise the goals of this project.
