Hello, I *may* be wrong. But I do believe the "http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] " bit has been around for some time. I remember finding that out a long time ago, which was convient in regards to browsing FTP sites which require a login/ password. Was using Netscape Navigator Gold, mid 90s.
I still have some of my old browsers, will install a few and test it out. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Do the research. Who did it first? Then ask yourself what *real* choice > the other browsers had.
