Well mpeg is a quite flexible format, you can stuff a lot in there. If
winamp decided to interpret the content of a special chunk as an URL
where it should go immediately, that's a new problem. Same with
webbugs in MSOffice documents, and what have you. I'm not sure if we'd
ever be able to catch up with the stream of web-integration features
the application developers are throwing (up) at us.

A different approach would be to offer a small script that set your
http/ftp/etc. proxy to some invalid address, and only lets through
requests to your fproxy host. Then it starts your browser, and after
you've finished surfing freenet, it restores your previous settings.
Is this doable under Windows?

You won't be able to browse the net during this time, though.

Maybe set the proxy to some service of fproxy instead, that allows
checked jumps into the web?
