The General Options panel controls the following settings:
This field is to set your name. This is sent in all annotations which you create.
This controls whether the browser automatically loads annotations when you navigate to a new web page. Automatically loading annotations will make it easier to read annotations, but for Remote Servers there is a loss of privacy — information about all the web sites which you browser will be sent to the server.
It is also possible to load annotations only for specific sites.
