I use Seamonkey and Firefox.  I tried that thing once and I didn't like
it. I just saw this posted on a social site I'm on and the site the
article is on sometimes has good stories but a lot of the time, they are
questionable at least.  I just wanted to see if it was somewhat accurate
before folks started going all goofy over it.  It seems each distro is
patching a fix for this.  I don't know when people are going to learn
that enabling something like this by default and not mentioning it to
the users is going to create a dust storm.  A lot of people really watch
for things like this and they get upset when it happens.  This is why I
don't have a microphone or camera on my puter and never have.  I most
likely, never will.
