I'm curious. What browser app are you referring to here?  Seems like the
presentation is pure html5 with a bit a javascript.  Is this what you
mean?  I didn't require any special apps to view the slideshow.  I
certainly didn't "identify" myself any more than I would for any other
web site (exposing my IP address).  Anyway just trying to understand
exactly what you mean.  I'm not sure if you're a noscript person, or if
I've missed something.

I agree about the PDF and offline viewing.
