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.
