Safari rocks!!!!!!!!
'In 2006 and again in 2007, BT intercepted web browsing data from several tens of thousands of their [UK] users in trials of the Phorm/BT Webwise technology. Their aim is to profile you for Phorm's advertising network, enabling participating advertisers to target you more effectively. At no time did they ask any of these users for their consent. In some instances they changed the data sent by the users to the websites they were visiting. Many believe that BT broke the law with these trials.
BT were proposing a third trial to begin by the end of April 2008, but with public concern mounting, the published start date was moved to the end of May 2008. It has not begun yet. The need to change BT'implementation of Phorm from "opt-out" to "opt-in" may also be contributing to delays.' ( http://www.inphormationdesk.org/welcome.htm)
Virgin Media and Talk Talk are also involved with this company, although they have gone a bit quiet since people started to complain.
BUT... The Phorm/BT Webwise technology DOES NOT work with the Safari browser:
++
BT Webwise works with most major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera. Safari is not supported by the BT Webwise system. BT Webwise has been tested and proven to work with the following:
Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0, 7.0
Firefox 1.0, 1.5, 2.0
Opera 7.54, 8.54, 9.0
