 Supposedly we have modified A.L.I.C.E. to ensure that students do not
 trigger off phrases in response to topics which could be considered
 controversial, or which might be considered more appropriate for adults.

 The Browse Activity uses Chrome, so the "about:mozilla" handler works.
 While this is largely meant to be a cute easter egg, its contents may not
 be considered appropriate for K-12 students.

 We may wish to consider hiding this handler, either by editing it out of
 Chrome (if permissible), or masking all URIs beginning with this in the
 URI handler so Chrome cannot process it (otherwise about:mozilla?foo=bar
 will work).  I'm not certain if this change should be OLPC-specific, or
 pushed to Sugar upstream.
