Mork was _plain_text_! You really have no idea what you are talking
about. I understand your concern, really, I do. Let's identify the
problem and devise a solution. Do you want you browsing habits to be
untraceable by forensic analysis of your hard drive? Write a shell
script that shreds (not just deletes) your relevant files.
Don't forget that network analysis will still reveal your browsing habits.
