I'm starting to sound like a KDE shill. Oh, well. You share what you know.

Konqueror not only allows control Java/Javascript/cookies on a per-site
basis, but they also have some cool new features:

a) Smart popup - Javascript enabled but the site can only open windows if it
is a direct result of clicking on a button (i.e. submitting your zip code
to CompUSA).

(Note that some web sites use HTML for their pop-up windows and I don't
know of a way to stop this. Fortunately, these sites are rare.)

b) Session cookies - Many web sites now require session cookies (i.e. those
that expire when the web browser closes). You can now allow only these (or
treat every cookie as a session cookie if you want to avoid the hassle of
not being compliant).

c) Single domain cookies - Only accept cookies from the server you are
requesting the page from. This is there to alleviate the main concern of
cookies, namely your privacy.

Just to be fair, I believe that Mozilla allows most, if not all, of these
features, as well. There just isn't (or is there?) a nice GUI for it.

Someone else asked what the bias against Java on a web page was. My main
issue is that I have never used a browser that work perfectly with it.
Either way, a chat room is not the way to go since it is too much work to
get us all together outside of the official meetings.
