3) Can we go completely stealth inside of Netscape without a proxy server?
No. Right now you can't disable cookies, you can't disable referer, and you can't mask your IP address.
But on Unix systems, at least, you can make "referer" more difficult for nosy servers to use -- subject to the "applicable laws" where you live. (The license agreement says, "...you agree not to modify the Software ... except to the extent [that] applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction.") Just back up your Netscape executable, then load it into Emacs (or any editor which can handle arbitrary binary files), search for the "Referer:" string, and change it to an appropriate string of the same length. "MYOB: " sounds like an appropriate string to me... -----//---------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: This message has been anonymized on request of its sender.
