 	I've been keeping Dillo as the default browser too, 
partly just because I figure it's safe as well as fast -- and 
some of the things it doesn't handle may be pushing malware.

 	It sounds like you mean something fancier by "call up the 
URL in another web page" than I quite understand.

 	When I find something on Dillo that I think longer about, 
and decide I do want a closer look, I c&p the URL either into 
Opera (where I can add it to my main bookmark stash), or into 
Epiphany (which seems to me the most vulnerable browser I have, 
and one whose bookmarking system just irritates me -- so I keep 
its defenses on minimum, and treat it as expendable).

 	What am I missing here?
