Indeed. Nothing enrages me more as a user when my browser refuses to load a page and doesn't give me any way to override it.

Whose computer is this? I guess the machine I purchased doesn't belong to me, but instead belongs to the developer of the browser, who has absolutely no idea what I'm trying to do, what my background is and qualifications and what my needs are? It seems absurd to give that person the ultimate say over me on my system, especially if they're going to give me some BS about protecting me from myself for my own good or something like that. Yet, that is clearly the direction things are headed.
