I just read aborigine as aubergine. That was confusing.

Especially if you kept reading it that way while reading the article.

Thankyou for pointing out the huge usability/security flaw still existing in many web browsers. What a valiant service to humanity!

I like my history menu in my browser-- using it faster than using the back arrow several times.

I don't think I've ever used my history menu. I do use the history feature of the Awesomebar quite a lot though.

Ditto. Although the new Firefox arrangement of this has made it less good recently.

I used that linked webtool in the "annoyances" page and am pleased to note that the Internet only sees that I'm a geek; my browsing history only shows the browsing that I don't mind others seeing (webcomics, forums, news sites, etc) and doesn't show anything private (VPN, banking, email, etc) at all. Dunno if that's a feature in the newer IE, or of Vista, or my latent paranoia and use of the "inPrivate" function when dealing with confidential material.

-- Steve thinks the boss might be happy with that too, though there hasn't been terribly much work-from-home for him lately.

I'm quite pleased that most of the annoyances mentioned in that list just aren't part of my life!

I agree with #4. I have a lot of trouble deciphering captchas. I've had to post several to LJ and facebook begging for help. I generally give up after the third attempt, abandon whatever it was and send an email to the owner of the site telling them why they suck.
