Also, cookies are used to track web activity. A cookie manager is advisable
as well as a password keeper, with which you can store and copy/paste all
info you wish to insert on a web page. This makes the process a little
easier and much more secure. It is, as you've stated, much *much* better to
suffer the slight inconvenience rather than subject yourself to such risks
as are involved.
