"... which will control your physical location ..." I don't care how self-important the Mozilla guys believe they are, ain't nobody, especially a bunch a' computer nerds, is gonna control MY physical location. Take your Geode and stick it, Mozilla-boy!

"such as how Firefox will determine a location using Mozilla which has no GPS provisions." Uhm, IP geolocation?

but how often do you get lost tho?? bloody ell im lost again i better find out where my nearest hairdresser is..

Um Tim D, exactly how useful is an IP geolocation to someone when all it can do is track the IP to the service provider's location, which -- at best -- resolves an IP to a city? City-level resolution is pretty useless. It would be completely useless for mobiles too.

I freaking HATE the localization and regionalisation of internet, and it ALWAYS is in my disadvantage, and I will do whatever I can to block such crap, and if need be surf at dial-up speeds via goddam proxies, or more realistically: not at all. And I'm not alone in feeling it's bad news either I noticed.
