...did you know that Metacello let you handle platform specific code?
I'm assuming you mean [Squeak|Pharo...] platform - we're talking [Mac|Windows...]
ahhh sorry....and what about conditional loading? and using spec:for or something like that? once I suggested Dale to add OS dependency to Metacello...I don't rememeber what happened.

Thus, you can define this in the ConfigurationOFfExternalWebBrowser, and not depend on a class side initialize.
Yes, it all started when I decided to move the load out of the class>>initialization and into the Config, and I just wanted to poll to see if my thinking was correct.
