Description
These are minor or moderate support questions :
How to avoid the "privacy report" icon, if at all possible, which shows up in IE because 'addthis' and 'mydomain' are different domains, moreover recent malware attacks looks similar (though different) where js script of an external site is written in my sites email
How far it is okay to replace default addthis button with own text/png ?
What is the difference in these respects of this module with Share/ Share this etc ?

I don't really know exactly how IE decides when to show privacy report, does it show to sites using for example Google Analytics tracking? If this is only issue with external Javascript then it could be worked around by having a local copy of Addthis JS. This would also enable us to aggregate and cache the JS in Drupal, but Addthis has some extra steps you need to take for this: http://www.addthis.com/help/code-caching
You can replace the button with what ever image, text or html you wish. Just replacing the image can be done via the admin user interface, replacing all of the html needs a bit of Drupal theming.
Addthis provides you with an integration to addthis.com service. Share/Share this works with a different third party service, service links is all drupal implementation and so on. I am hoping that all these modules for sharing will one day merge as one module with plugins for each sharing service, but that might take a while. Different sharing services offer quite different features and currently we are not even supporting full set of addthis.com functionality.
