Hola, Although I'm new in this matters of web privacy, I'm quite concern about it, so I would be very interested in hearing you discussing about it; but please, keep the usual manners for a (intense) debate.
Frankly, I would like to know more about the use of Google in Icecat... By the way, can anybody tell me about the following message shown in teh browser: "A script modified a link in the page, this can cause serious privacy problems" What does it mean? What am I expected to do?
