It works *IN* Netscape, or at least in the Linux version of it, which I
installed the other day.  Once version 3 (the REAL version 3, or 4) is
released for OS/2, I'm sure we'll see it there as well.
Basically, the Options >> Security menu allows the user to select being
warned on cookie-send-requests and/or cookie-receive-requests, and allows
the user to say yes or no to each one.  I'm presuming that's what Cookie
Crusher does as well.
I had to visit www.packardbell.com to get some information of one of their
monitors for a friend who misplaced a manual.  On the way to get the info,
there were probably 3 dozen cookies that tried to be sent to me. :(  I said
no to each. :)  I didn't spend much time at all there but got about 4 boxes
that popped up with each mouse click, on average.  Bizarre.
Or rather, it was bizarre to _my_ mind, but then, perhaps this happens all
the time and we're just unaware of it, until version 3 (or 4) is actually
released for our platform!
