[Yar]

Pretend? What are we, five?

Hasn't this been default behavior for like.. forever? At least for a very long time. I do remember that Firefox used to not display ALT text like that, but that seems like an eternity away.

What the fudge are you complaining about? Someone could be calling you an ass through alt-text and you'd never know about it. Asking to have it removed is like asking someone to plug your ears for you.
