Seems we've got two imperfect options:

1) Dump user into a sea of broken links if they choose not to have their
fproxy at 127.0.0.1:8888

versus

2) Dump user into a sea of broken links if they choose not to use an
extensible open-source browser

Both scenarios suck, but IMHO the latter sucks a lot less.

Anyone else got an opinion on this?

Cheers
David
