diyaudio.com - An unsafe site??

[Hearinspace]

Interesting. Coming in with Firefox on the Mac, I actually denied access to all the Yahoo addresses that were requesting permissions but it didn't seem to make any difference to navigating through the site.
When I enter using Safari I don't even get the requests. . . . .

Thanks Jason

Far out, hasn't anyone dumped FF in favour of Chrome?

I love Chrome - Google FTW!

Oh yeah, Chrome thinks DIY Audio is quite pleasant.

Chrome still has security issues. May become interesting someday, but now it's FF. Pity Opera is declining.

Ever since they lost the ad-driven support in the later 8.x, they've been targeting more the cellphone market making the desktop version really suck

yes , I have . chrome will run circles around either FF or IE -X . where a REAL malicious site will "nuke IE" or crash FF , chrome will just throw up a red sandboxed warning window asking , " do you really want to?? "

As far as being an "unsafe site" , from the client side .. I do not see this.
8 cookies (attachment 1) .. seems normal , they do disappear after the session.

.. I "hid behind my proxy" (attachment 2) , and logged what requests the page (DIYA) made. Nothing out of the ordinary ... the yahoo scripts , google- analytics , and 3 open X ad- server requests. nothing happens "behind the scenes".

Still too bare bones. No official mouse gestures yet? So 1998.

On my "retro " chrome , I have found out how to ferret an individual cookie out for inspection ( all cookies are in a unified .DB format with chrome) and compared this to an identical IE cookie after logon with DIYA. I could see no personally identifiable info , but I could see the hash change after login. that must be how just DIYA knows ME !!

PS If my chrome goes the way of the bloated, slow IE8 or FF , I will search again for a lean ,mean 200 millisecond surfin' machine. I can do without "gestures" , but this seems to be a plugin anyways.
(attachment is IE7 cookie - identical to chrome cookie content)

... it could cost me my job if I spent as much time at work reading it as I want to!

Hi ostripper,

Chrome is fast, if you don't count all the times you have to do a hard reboot because it freezes. If you have found a solution for that, the boys over at Google would like to hear about it.
