Agree.

This is the kind of code i consider ugly:
 - invasive
   cross across many layers and class,
   when you are "fix"ing the link twice, you know there are some
fundamental design problem.
   this kind of magic discourage casual code/patch contributor
 - not fixing the real problem ( there are other ways to know if you
are running freenet.
    for example, just include a <img src="http://127.0.0.1:8888";
onLoad="freenetLoaded();" />
    then the website can 99.999% sure you have freenet installed ).
Freenet is illegal in many
    place and *will be* illegal everywhere soon.
 - reduce usability (copy uri from frost / im )

Maybe we should try the another way round: detect if the user use the
same browser
for other web sites and issue a big fat warning for this.
