I have jumped into the tail end of this discussion without scrutinizing all that came before, but I have a question merely about this particular statement. Since I use encryption of text with news and email only, I can't say that I am even aware of the application of pgp encryption in the context of a "browser", such as you stated here, at least that's the impression I got of it.
