Hola,
Although I'm new in this matters of web privacy, I'm quite concern about
it, so I would be very interested in hearing you discussing about it; but
please, keep the usual manners for a (intense) debate.
Frankly, I would like to know more about the use of Google in Icecat...
By the way, can anybody tell me about the following message shown in teh
browser:
"A script modified a link in the page, this can cause serious privacy
problems"
What does it mean?
What am I expected to do?
Thanks / Muchas gracias
