Options/Advanced Warn me when...

Post by curious »

"Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

How much safer is one if this is checked? How many Loungers check this?

Thanks, Curious

I've not got it checked, for two reasons. It isn't checked by default (as far as I know) AND I thought about those "legit" times when a web page gets redirected to a new location, server or what have you.

As far as I know, I've never had a problem because of redirection. Let's see what others say about it.

I'd have to agree with Al entirely. I've had it ticked for a while but it became annoying so I un-ticked it again.
Cheers, Claude.

Hi, Claude -

That was what was behind my question. Was the annoyance worth anything....
