Is there a configuration for this browser, or another micro-browser, which has anti-tracking, anti-social, adblock and flashblock built in? Would be cool to store the history outside of the browser, in a kind of standard format. Im not sure if it is easy enough to extract firefox history from its sqlite3 db. It would also be cool to switch where to store history/activitiy very fast, for example "send to home computer" or save for later synching with your other browsing profile...

save_global_history If set the global history will be saved to ~/.xxxterm/history when quitting and restored at startup. See the KEY BINDINGS section above for how the global history is accessed. Global history is not saved to disk by default. from the manual, the history is a file, if you really want you can merge it manually

sqlite3 isn't that hard to work with, you know; for example, I only spent an hour or two writing a script to extract recently visited URLs from Firefox (http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs#browser-history http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs#browser-history) and I don't even know SQL.

have a look at the reply i made to the other post about adsuck ( https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/adsuck https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/adsuck ). it blocks all kinds of scripts and malware via DNS proxying.
