Hm, I was wondering about buffers: It doesn't seem to be possible to have several eww buffers at the same time. M-x eww asks me for an URL to visit and loads that, replacing the one that's already loaded instead of opening it in a new buffer. I usually have about 50--100 Tabs open in seamonkey, and I need them to be restored when starting the browser, like seamonkey does, and I need browsing history and sometimes bookmarks ... If eww would work with desktop-mode, all the websites and buffers with PDFs or other things downloaded could be reloaded when emacs is started ... Or does that go a little too far? It rises security concerns ... what if you downloaded some elisp file and it is somehow accidentally evaluated? -- "Object-oriented programming languages aren't completely convinced that you should be allowed to do anything with functions." http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/01.html
