Speaking of nothing new

"I think you are saying it is ok to deliver browsers that are easily used for phishing atacks."

Don't put words in my mouth -- how does my pointing out that IE currently has a MANUAL blacklist of web sites constitute my saying that? ANY browser can be used for phishing attacks, even the new Netscape browser if the web site isn't in the 'blacklist'. This technology is nothing new, just an incremental step.

"And, yes, Microsoft can not be trusted to do the right thing. What else is new?"

Not a thing, as my original post pointed out. The only difference here is that Netscape will automatically maintain the blacklist of web sites. You're complaining that IE doesn't do the same thing, and yet you also say that you wouldn't trust Microsoft to maintain such a list. So how is Microsoft supposed to implement this?
