It sucks that Firefox 4 won't have sockets because of transparent proxies. I feel like that's sort of an edge security case just cause those proxies can't be that popular, but then again I might just be ignorant of something.

I am actually sort of worried why the chrome team hasn't announced handling this. I searched google for a response from the chrome team but I guess they didn't think it warranted one.

Did I say something rude?

I would seriously appreciate a reply here cause I really have no clue at all as to why my previous comment is being downvoted. It isn't offtopic, since the root comment mentions how the software is using websockets. It isn't rude to either the firefox or chrome development teams, as I said I can't really judge how severe the security problem is. So how on earth am I offending people?

For some reason, there seems to be an more random downvotings by members just because they can.. So, I often see interesting and on topic answers like yours first being downvoted and then upvoted...

I wonder what could be done by pg to counter that? Maybe have a limit of numbers of downvote per day?

how about we spend our points to downvote others?
