But still, we should be extremely firm in warning users about the use
of M$IE and the insecurity of it. I personally think that even
ALLOWING users to view fproxy beyond a rejection page with links to
other browsers one can get is a stretch. I think that a good
compromise would be to put up a warning page where the user has to
type "I do know that Micro$oft Internet Explorer is an insecure piece
of shit" as specified by the page into a text item in a form (the $
would be mandatory) and then press a button to actually use fproxy, to
keep people from simply clicking through without paying real serious
attention to the warning. :)
