There are probably few people more familiar with this tradeoff than myself :P. But the browser case is a bit different, because the "convenience" features (in my case, at least) themselves have to do with security. Using the latest official Mozilla browser means trusting their built-in defenses are as good as my current plugin based ones. And I have doubts about that. This is a tangent from the thread topic, but there is another inconvenience of modern FF that keeps me from re-adopting it: font rendering. You will pry my beautiful thin DejaVu Sans from my dead body, and give my dead body blurry webfonts in return. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
