Oh, I wasn't there but yeah I know about the chatroom. I thought you guys meant something like a mass irc copier application or setting.

Brilliant - and hilarious ;)

Disabling 'safebrowsing' is one of the first things I do with a fresh install of Firefox. I don't need Google to tell me which sites they consider to be "dangerous", nor do I need them to know which of those warnings I choose to heed or ignore.

To do so yourself, set browser.safebrowsing.enabled and browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled to 'false'.

Ehtyar.

700th post, yay me! :P

I consider safebrowsing to be a useful feature, and if more people were using FF w/safebrowse enabled, we'd get less of those annoying MSN "click here to see omfg funny party pictures! (after providing your MSN login details)" spams.
