I suppose it's different for everyone. But if you want my opinion, the reason I refuse to use Sun's plugin is not because of security, but simply because I believe I am my own master. And since I don't owe allegiance to Sun, I don't kneel to them. Then again, the "security" issue is not real. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
