It also attempted to set the page URL as the browser's homepage using setHomePage, which only worked in Internet Explorer. | Similar to Last Measure, Seizure Measure checked if the browser was Microsoft Intenet Explorer and if the version is 4 or higher, and if both conditions were met, it saved the page URL as a bookmark titled "Idiot!".
