There are a couple gesture programs for OS X that you can use. FlyGesture is way cool, and from one of the best indie deveopers around, but at 24.95, it's a little pricey. CocoaGestures is free, but not quite as cool.
The nice thing about either of these is that you can use them with any browser.
Any "Gecko is slow and bloated" arguments can be put to rest with Camino. Before it was a universal binary, Camino weighed in at about 7MB and it absolutely smokes any other Mac browser in terms of performance.
If you're using it read-only, it's pretty much just a collection of links on various subjects.
Did you happen to notice that it's read/write, though? That's really the whole point for a lot of folks; it's a way to store interesting links without having to have 1,000 bookmarks in their browswer's menu.
Even the Wall Street Journal editors think nothing of downloading and sharing TV shows. I think this pretty much reflects the average person's stance: it's just not a big deal.
IP owners sure have a tough battle ahead of them.

Anyway I've never understood why people feel this compulsion to use a mode-based editor when there are so many wonderful editors out there today.
Whenever I run into an ad online, I'm compelled to view the source, close down my browser session, and tweak my userContent.css/hostperm.1 to block it.
I don't recall having this aversion to advertising before popups got huge, so I think the advertisers just pushed me enough that I said "you know what? fuck you guys, I'm not going to see a single damn one of your bullshit ads."
"I think there's no reason for anyone to use anything but firefox"
Ever use Firefox on Mac OS X or FreeBSD? It sucks, badly.
People will always have a reason to use alternative browsers, whether it's usability, suitability for their platform, or (gasp) personal choice. If you're such a hack of a web developer that you can't make your sites work in different browsers, perhaps you should find another line of work.

Keychain integration, a native Cocoa ui, and Address Book support all make it a more "Mac-like" application than Firefox can ever be.

Flashblock has whitelisting.
My computer is broadcasting an IP address!
Robert X. Cringely (Mark Stephens) is a complete and utter fraud .
Why his every bowel movement makes the front page is anyone's guess.
Why present beginner-level information to people using pictures from an OS that only 100% of the population is going to recognize?
Yeah, it would be great if PHP had some PostgreSQL functions.
The RIAA is filing civil suits.
The beauty of the American legal system is that the burden of proof seems to be on the defendant nowadays.
It's up to you to prove that you didn't download the file.
Yes.
No.
Chimps will always be chimps.
Lucky bastards.
Hypercolor shirts were awesome!
Does anyone actually respect ICANN anymore?
I can't wait to tell my boss about the sweet deal Harry Balls can get us.

Uhm, because some of us like modal editors?

Sprinkle in some punctuation and it makes sense.
But does it run on my old Web 1.0 system?
I'm not upgrading until at least Web 2.1.
Looks like a Perl script to me.

Why can't my five year old drive himself to school? Why is he not allowed to spend his allowance on handguns and alcohol?
Oh, that's right, because he's a child. Is the adult/child distinction unclear to you for some reason?
