UPDATE 19.53: Phorm's technical officer Mark Burgess takes to the stage.
He emphasises that Phorm does not "compromise the user experience".
After concerns raised that Phorm can cause some page requests bouncing back and forth between the destination website and the Phorm system, he says that happens in less than 1% of the browsing experience.

That still seems awfully high.
And I'm not sure what he means by this: is it 1% of pages I visit, or 1% of http requests? The first case is bad enough, but in the second case that's going to be highly noticable if he means the problem can occur with any element on a page. Considering that some pages only render their main content *after* they have displayed all of the other fluff on the page, that could quickly become very tiresome.
On another issue, I would also like to thank all those who have given time to the cause and would be happy to contribute to an expenses/fighting fund if it became available.
