They started testing it in January. I think you can still use the plugin, but most users are moved over to the iframe version of the toolbar.

If you mean stumbleupon then no because SU uses a plugin, it doesn't change the actual url. What sites are you referring to JSB?

I don't believe that Diggs view that they are providing a better service for their users. If that was the case, why didn't they just create a downloadable browser toolbar like StumbleUpon did. Surely that would have been better. Then those who like toolbars can download it and those who don't will not. But clearly they are trying to increase traffic stats using this method. You are right about not all frames being bad. Using frames in design is useful when designing private member areas and other such sites. But forcing a frame over someone elses website is clearly a different story. I hope that webmasters complain enough to Digg so that they remove it. Very good post Jonathan.
