So, with Bungie.next hitting, we're greeted with a warning either most times or every time we click a link that leads to an offsite location. Unlike a few other alerts that come up when you click on things, there is no option to have this not show up any more.
Frankly, I know what I'm doing and I check links. This is just a minor annoyance. I'd suggest that this alert be on by default, but users be given the option to turn it off. Anyone else agree?

That and having pictures open automatically. But still having the ability to hide them.
