Accrington Web - View Single Post - Why you should consider NOT upgrading your Browser

There is a new feature appearing with Firefox 3 and IE 8 that you should seriously consider boycotting if you have children. As most of you aren't interested in technical details I'll skip to the point.

The new browsers come with a "Privacy" mode where your browsing history is NOT recorded anywhere( well,not without forensic tools to recover). Not surprisingly this has been termed 'Porn Mode'

for most people this isn't an issue, for those of you who rightly keep an eye on where your children surf by checking their history this effectively would mean you have no idea if they are going places you would rather they didn't.

Just thought I would give you all a heads up in case you wish to make an informed decision on this.
