I hope that as Freenet moves to this new UI, somewhere in the days 0.8+++, that plain old browser support is not discontinued. There's plenty of us who know how to be secure with a browser and don't mind doing things like using a separate profile for the purpose with tighter settings. I think there's a lot of use who prefer to stay with that functionality rather than a shiny new whiz-bang UI. -----END TYPE III ANONYMOUS MESSAGE-----
