I just read how you are supposed to use this browser, and as far as I'm concerned, no Linux version is no loss to me.

Wouldn't that be Firefox 4 with the "Do Not Track" flag?

Yeah, but website have to support that feature and could choose to not implement it because they rather track you for marketing reasons.

Firefox have to make some indicator to notify the users, similar to SSL notification.

Actually, within their community, the Amish are very sociable. It's only outside influences they avoid.

I'm hoping so, Sander. We'll see how well it works.

True. But the point of the DNT flag is that you actively tell websites that you don't want to be tracked. Up to now, there is no way for a site to know this. There's good reasoning in this article: http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3927801/Moz...

Isn't that true of all social groups? It is only the true loners that everyone dislikes..;-)
