  1. I _only_ want the browser on Alternative Browser Review · · Score: 1

    Actually one of the reasons i like iCAB is that it just tries to be a browser. It doesn't bloat it up with trying to be a mail client and calander blah blah blah as well. That's why it runs so small and is so responsive.

  2. Re:Current user interfaces are pitiful ! on Mac OS 9 Versus Corel GNU/Linux At CNet · · Score: 1

    Well if you need a postscript file ...

    just set up a new desktop printer with the printer utility and set it to print to postscript. When you print to this printer it prompts you to save it as a postscript file.

  3. Re:Minimum age for credit cards on COPPA Steps on ICQ Privacy · · Score: 1

    Also what I don't quite understand is why a credit card number is the method of choice for verifying age (18 or older). Why would people feel safe giving their credit card number out to every site they use? It's ridiculous.

  4. *mmmm cookies on DoubleClick Workaround: IDcide · · Score: 2

    Cookie managment would be a great plus for any next gen browser. Having filtering built *into* the browser is great for non-savy users who know enough to want to protect their privacy but don't know how to set up abox w/ junkbuster. The only browser that I've seen that does this well is iCAB for the mac (others?). By well I mean:
    1. It allows deny, accept, or allow for session on all cookies
    2. you can set it to deny cookies from certain domains, or _only accept_ cookies from certain domains (slashdot anyone ;) ). Net effect, site by site cookie managment for those who want it. It also lets you read the value of the cookie in the browser.

    As an added bonus, iCab also allows you to filter images.
    Cookie and image filtering are at the top of my pretty please list for mozilla. Any browser that supports these is the one I'll use. Is it easier for my mother to set up junkbuster , or set it up in her already existing browser program?
