The browser already limits you to SAFE sites.
The browser is allowed to deviate from original breaker browser.
So why not relax or eliminate the cross site restriction?
I note that if you have launcher running to give network access but are not logged in the experience is better. You immediately see the comments without authorizing anything.
I think a big step forward would be to just not ask for authentication until you actually need it, which is when you actually attempt to post a comment.

I haven’t looked in to how the comment thing works, but from reading your reply I get that a comment I make is paid for by me. I just checked this by posting a comment and only one sentence took my puts from 47 tot 50 
Is it me or could hanging out on “Reddit” all day become a very expensive hobby on the SAFE Network? I’m not sure how you would sell the whole pay to comment thing to the average person.
Let’s assume I have to pay to post a comment. In this case it would be most user friendly when you are actually posting the comment. And instead the message asking me to allow some API access I would like to read: | Posting this comment will cost you X amount of Safecoin / X amount of PUTS / X amounts of data". Then as an experienced user I would probably like to accept this by default and skip a pop-up for posting comment altogether because I know that posting a comment costs me.
I think the biggest danger of having to OK things all the time is that people will just go ahead and OK everything. I guess today if you would make a pop-up look like it’s a request to accept cookies (something we have to do by default in the Netherlands) people would OK anything you put in there. It’s like reading the fine print on the contract for your new car, nobody does it because they can’t wait to jump in to the car and take it for a spin.

I tried several times, but the demo app’s remap DNS doesn’t work. Yeah yeah I restarted the demo app and launcher and there was totally no change. 
Sorry my bad, the problem is with Beaker, goto view in the menu and do a hardreload (clear cache).
Lol, nice music! But whats with all this fear of communism, ppl still not over reagan 
So I’ve been playing around with this thing but I ran into a weird issue. I have two computers set up, one windows the other ubuntu, when I upload files (in both public and private directories) I can only see the files from that computer. SO I uploaded a text file on linux, and can only see it on linux. Same story on Windows. But both versions show the same total puts. Does anyone know what’s going on here?
Not the appropriate forum dude.
Yeah it’s okay. I liked the rap though.
Are you logged in safenet with the same user on both computers?
Yup, puts are the same.Tried with 2 different users.
This sounds like a bug, perhaps @lightyear @Krishna_Kumar @Shankar can get back to you. Can you post a thread in the dev forum please and we will get to the bottom of that.

Where is the dev forum? I’ve been searching on both google and the recent topics and I can’t find a link to it.

Did you try "loging off and on again"™?
As I mentioned in the discussion regarding being logged in from two different workstations (added highlighting):
Logging off and on again, restarting the demo app should refresh your local cache and show all the files. If that is not the case, then we do have to look into that indeed.
™ – trademark pending

Thanks, couldn’t find that for the life of me.
@lightyear at first I didn’t try that, but I suspected such a thing may not be developed yet so I did try logging off on both machines and restarting, but no dice. I"ll create a thread on the dev forum.

Unrefined but now working for my having learnt enough rust to GET via API 
Still a glitch that I see escaped response body for files, rather than what I expect is ‘raw string literal’=normal formatting… but the API works a lot better than wget via proxy.
safe://dir.yvette/
Out of 55 PublicIDs, fell 19 websites
and safe://diy.yvette/ is still there for those who want to submit their own.

Is this just the pac file that MaidSafe isn’t hosting anymore? Or is there more to it then that?
The proxy was part of SAFE Launcher, so now the pac file won’t have an effect unless you run a stand-alone proxy.
This won’t be a problem with a Firefox plugin though - the proxy is only a way of supporting legacy browsers without using a plugin. What the proxy did is intercept safe://something or http://something.safenet and redirect it to the launcher SAFE API (on localhost:8100).
The Firefox plugin could be updated to do exactly what SAFE Beaker does, and inject safe-js into the window object. Then no need for a proxy. At least that’s my understanding lol! 
That won’t work for Chrome though, because you can’t add support for a new protocol (safe://) using a Chrome plugin.
