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.
