* [[User:shadowchaser|shadowchaser]]: The United States' government subpoena against Google to disclose their search record logs is a perfect example why Firefox should *NEVER* have an anti-phishing feature. Microsoft is currently planning on forcing this feature down the throats of millions of Internet Explorer users - by keeping Firefox "pure" without any opportunities for privacy violations, there will be a huge opportunity for a campaign to convince IE users to switch to a more private, safe alternative. How long before the department of justice requests the logs of EVERY internet explorer users' request? There are serious free speech concerns about this - I would seriously avoid this feature like the plauge. | * [[User:shadowchaser|shadowchaser]]: The United States' government subpoena against Google to disclose their search record logs is a perfect example why Firefox should *NEVER* have an anti-phishing feature.

* [[User:p@tr1x|p@tr1x]]: We all know that Microsoft's IE 7.0 will include 'Anti-Phising' technology. I think most of you know that Google has released an extension for Firefox 1.5 that gives the users some level of protection against Phishing attacks. As Phishing/Spoofing becomes one of the most prevalent forms of internet attacks I believe it would be foolish to introduce a product for the masses, like Firefox, that doesn't include this type of technology. How many of you have used the extension Adblock combo'd with Filterset.g? Do these types of programs act as a potential threat to 'free-speech'? I don't believe they do because I don't believe that web content providers have guaranteed access to my computer. I choose to enact a filter that prevents certain content from appearing. Whitelist/Blacklist/Heuristic analysis of web-content is not a violation of free-speech. Don't let any SPAMMER/Spoofer tell you otherwise. | |||
