I was glad to see Opera is doing the browser for this:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_Children's_Machine
U.S. spies (NSA, its contractors) can copy and store 100%
of the U.S. coms traffic, hardwired taps, with coerced consent
from the telephone companies.
And so we must assume other U.S. companies have done likewise
(and U.S. controlled foreign companies), Microsoft (MSIE browser),
Norton (anti-virus), Google (search, payment, rss reader, Chrome
browser), and such, a simple matter for browsers to backdoor
encryption by not generating a random number (half the process),
Norton can upload keystroke loggers, Google Chrome, it uploads
a huge quantity of I don't know what, as soon as you start it,
and somebody is checking my hard drive.
I guess there's no way for Opera to prove it's not doing
the same (Norway is a trustworthy U.S. poodle, barks sometimes
but always rolls over, the Norway government can require Opera
to follow orders).
Firefox, I guess experts could discover that (supposedly
open source), but it disappears my bookmarks, I don't know
why, some interference?
Harry was wondering about a Netherlands bank, last I
investigated U.S. banks required MSIE, and that would suit
NSA, to impose that requirement, via the Fed.
I guess there's no remedy for this, 100% of any browser
activity, Big Brother can use, to build up his profile of
us, for harassment down the road. -CJ
