BTW, if anyone is looking for alternative web browsers that you can truly control, and have some of the defaults set for privacy:

Web Browsers GUI: Dooble, GNU IceCat, Luakit, NetSurf, Web/Epiphany (Galeon), Dillo, Amaya (for authoring), Swiftweasel, Conkeror, Arora, Midori, rekonq, Kazehakase

My GUI picks: xombrero, Uzbl, surf (with tabbed, it is amazing), dwb, jumanji

TUI Web browsers: w3m, elinks, links2, Links, Linkx, lynx, cURL, ed browser, wget

In the future, I wish to have a browser that maps all the cached files, per page you are viewing, with each of the domains, IP address, and the WebSockets connections it makes. Whether it be tree mapped, or tabular, it would be awesome to have a browser monitors all network event and files live, while you are viewing a page, maybe in a tile/window somewhere. For now, we have Jails we can open on the fly, with a new browser instance on each, connected to the custom firewall rules, that opens a page per domain. When done with the page, we get rid of the jail instance.
