+ HTTP Pings
+
+
+ HTTP hyperlinks can have an extra ping attribute that sends a POST request to a different URL.
+ These HTTP pings are commonly used for tracking.
+ Most browsers send HTTP pings without informing the user
+ in any way
+ (despite what The Register article says, current versions of FireFox also happily send HTTP pings).
+
+
+
+ Privacy Browser blocks all HTTP pings and presents a dialog informing the user every time the current tab attempts to send one.
+ Hopefully, as more people become aware of what HTTP pings are, web sites will become more embarrassed about using them.
+ This is a classic example of how those who wrote the HTTP specs do not have the best interests of internet users at heart. I would like the day to come where they are removed from the specs.

+ Spell Checking
