Funny you should bring this up.
I just today was using a new install of Firefox lacking all the "plugins".
The experience of so many websites being essentially unusable unless one has
the "eye candy" turned on and plugins downloaded is depressing. It blocks
the handicapped folks using screen readers. It just plain  smells of a
society that has become so Attention Span Deficient that "if it don't flash
they won't look at it"

Or am I understating it?
