Do you really think so? Do you feel these lockups are due to someone
posting malicious html with links like:
<a href="file:.netscape/cookies">Click here!</a>
(or more realistic, say via autoloading somehow..., the above doesn't
actually work unless you put in file:/home/mcculley/.netscape/cookies) ?
I think there are so many bugs in netscape that is the reason it hangs,
not malicious HTML.
Also, I assume that a hidden javascript in a cookie attack is somehow
based on "trusted zones" for a browser (e.g. "local" html is trusted to
run programs, etc). I believe IE has these... does Netscape on Unix?
FWIW, here are some fun ones I remember from way back when the web
was young:
<a href="file:/dev/zero"> Trust your Browser? #1 </a>
<a href="file:/dev/mouse"> Trust your Browser? #2 </a>
(be careful, netscape still seems to fail them :-)
