Paranoia? Maybe not.

FirefoxPeople think I'm paranoid because I refuse to store passwords in Firefox. Then vulnerabilities come along that make me smirk.

Transparent PNGs

Internet Explorer iconI've given up on using transparent PNGs for now.

By most statistics, more-or-less half of the users on the web use IE6. IE6 has horrible support for PNG transparency. There are workarounds documented on sites such as WebFX and A List Apart. Personally, I don't feel like using JavaScript unnecessarily and I had no luck with anything related to AlphaImageLoader to work while running IE6 through IEs4Linux. (Not sure if it's due to the emulation or just that the workarounds I found didn't actually work.)
