Browser vendors agree to common-functionality security features
In what must be a first, four major browser developer teams (can't say "companies" as it would be inaccurate) have agreed to implement a new set of security features, including special SSL "super certificates" and new support for determining that a pop-up window is in fact a pop-up window and not some kind of spoofed UI dialog from the OS. This is very good - the latter more than the former, but they both are positive developments. More about these new browser security features is available at ArsTechnica, and I'm assuming other sites will start showing it soon. (For some reason, Slashdot is behind the curve here....)
[Edit 8:45 pm - I screwed up; Slashdot actually had it yesterday, and somehow I missed it.]
