I share your general feeling on the subject but disagree with your attitude towards changing browser settings. A website is essentially foreign code being executed on your computer, it makes sense to restrict what it may do. I don't think we should be reliant on 3rd parties' altruistic decisions (and competence!) for our own safety. Unfortunately the general public is poorly educated on the subject.
