Comment on Chrome 19 doesn't respect basic auth details embedded in the URL

While I understand their concern, it is none the less quite a useful feature for testing.

Firefox warns users if they are authenticating to a site with a small message and asks them to confirm. This prevents pretty much all of the phishing attacks that people have been talking about without removing a potentially useful feature.
