well that is a good tip..what I'm asking about is more in the "phone  
home" category.. I know lots of companies are obsessed with knowing  
exactly what we want to buy so that they can shove push data up our  
noses or "guide" our internet experience more to their liking.

I'm not saying that Safari takes over; if it did, I'd flush it in a  
snap. But I don't want software that reports back to the mother ship  
information that I don't offer up myself.

in that regard, I want my browser to be as dumb as an old coffee cup.
