Anonymous Surfing Via Gmail Login Window - Poor
Sanitization

User can do anonymous surfing (apart form other cool
tricks) from Gmail login window. The window is small,
still checking your mails via google is phun. :)

No way this is anonymous. The webserver still logs your IP, Referrer, Browser, 
etc... just see the two following lines from my access_log:
80.218.86.137 - - [26/Aug/2004:17:24:43 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5221

PS: the trick requires a GMail authorized browser:
