In my opinion, it is good for security to use a browser other than

Can there be a way implemented to have everything Freenetwise use
that secondary browser?
The fproxy could intially provide initial html code to test for the
presence of javascript / flash / java, etc, but it would only be a
bandaid solution to this broad problem. Ideally, you also don't want
the browser to be able to do dns resolution, or access anything outside
of tcp:127.0.0.1:8888. Some (weird) people might also insist on
enabling javashit, so it would probably end up requiring a zillion new
preference settings to appease each person's individual security
requirements. People working inside virtual machines that already
provide proper network-level security will also probably not want any
of this clutter.
I think a separate list/project should be started to handle freenet
environments (special freenet distros, freenet VMs, freenet hardware
appliances, etc)... separate from the freenet program itself.
Are you perhaps making an issue of this, too heavy to carry?
All I'd like for xmas is some way to set a FN browser to which FN keys
are fed instead of to the default browser. Leaving any user prefs to the
choice and settings of that browser.
Doesn't appear to be a technical challenge to me but I'm not one to
know, so sorry if I'm presumptuous.
