In this age of the "post-page" Internet, it is best to assume that everything you do on a... "page" (cough) may be communicated, unless you take measures yourself to stop this.
This will continue to be a topic of concern and debate for at least some of us: Whose agent is the browser? The client's, or the host's?
Currently, design trends towards more and more "programmatic" content and behavior seems to be favoring the latter.
(I, for one, do not like this change.)

- 001sky 13y agoIt would be interesting if the internet was born fully formed. If there was not an embedded base of people "thinking it was like it used to be". My guess is it may have never got off the ground. But now that there is sufficient momentum behind a paradigm that makes people predictable (ie, the "old way"), the confidence has been built up to perfectly suit people taking advantage of this very predictability. For the most part, this revolves around "free", "anonymous", "open", etc. The powers that be do not want these things to exist...for the very reason that money is to be made by selling the picks and shovels to those who dream they may one day achieve these things. Heaven forbid you provide this to them, they would then be outside the system of tribute to those who just happen to be in charge.
