Heres another idea.. What about a freenet browser? Why not just hack up the mozilla code and release a browser that runs on every OS, works with fproxy, and solves the IE/Media URL problems. This way there would be a browser that definatly WORKS without the freenet developers having to figure out a way around every little stupid security problem.
