I think (some) people believe Marco's suggestions disables plugins. It
doesn't. It disables the "Install $PLUGIN to watch this content" thing
that is supposed to be helpful (and is, on Windows or Mac OSX, where
you can actually click on the thing and get the proper plugin
automatically - functionality that doesn't work on OpenBSD).

You can still manually install plugins (what you have to do for all
plugins you want to run on OpenBSD anyway). Since the functionality
doesn't work on OpenBSD and the it doesn't break anything that does
work, my 0.02 monetary units say disable it.

Cheers,
