Billions of Web pages depend on cross-site loads of images, scripts and stylesheets. Many of those Web pages aren't even maintained anymore. No browser that broke all those pages would be viable. Even if the Illuminati made every future browser version impose cross-site restrictions on those resources, users would probably just stop upgrading. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
