No it's not. At least not on my browsers because I've disabled that
"functionality"  :).

It is an issue, though. Wanting to know where links are taking me is one of
the reasons I disable a web page's ability to muck with the status bar.

Firebird->Tools->Options->Web Features->{Java,JavaScrip}Advanced

I only allow "Change images".

Mozilla->Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Scripts & Plugins

Hmm, good that I looked at this one. Turned off cookie stuff as well :).

Naturally JavaScript is turned off for "Mail & Newsgroups". Just noticed th=
e
Plugins button below. Turned those off as well.

Looks like Konqueror 2.2.2 doesn't have these options, but 3.1.3 is
available via debian ( still waiting on some dependencies, though ) and
3.1.4 is available via the KDE web site.
