It seems like it this is only going to be used by OEMs for now (not the default install). And no user specific data is sent, not even a random id.
Doesn't seem like they can do any more tracking then what they can now looking at IP address of people who update, seems like it only helps them judge the number of users.
What about APNG, also not very well supported (yet?), but much more so then MNG. Yeah I know it's also basically unusable because of the lack of support, but just had to mention it.
Can someone tell me what's wrong with Slashdot's front page? I want my low-bandwidth, dialup-friendly version back but despite changing my preference multiple times, I'm getting some frakked-up yellow-and-white monstrosity.
Having the same problem, thought my firefox profile was mucked up, took a while to worked it was the low-bandwidth option mucked up.
Couldn't agree more. use it on all my machines, great for low end machines too, as it saves alot of cpu.
Find it makes youtube more useful as I can open a few movies in new tabs and not have them play all at once, or have them play again when I reopen firefox. most of the other uses of flash seem to just be ads, so it works well for any flash ads that adblock misses.
The main feature is the fact the images are resized and compressed on their proxy before you even download it, conserving expensive bandwidth, not just ram. you can change how much they get resized in the settings
I love the fact that website layouts are preserved, and bigger then my screen size, yet the text is forced only to stretch the width of the screen when zoomed in, so you only have to scroll down to read.

I have root own my .profile, and only let my user account have read access to it. same with .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.

I think he is setting up flash in a way doesn't crash firefox. He wants it to be wrapped, running it by itself can crash firefox.
