Unblock Google Cache in China

Posted by Hemos on from the time-for-us-to-get-blocked-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new feature in CustomizeGoogle (Firefox extension) modifies the Google Cache urls so that they are no longer blocked by the Chinese firewall. This feature is only available in CustomizeGoogle zh-CN, found here. This is how it works: All links to Google Cache, from the Google search result, are slightly modified. The Chinese Great Firewall doesn't recognize the new links as Google Cache links, and therefore they are accessible for everyone."

    Congratualtions, you have made the classic mistake that is always made in these situations.

    Yes, I wouldn't encourage someone to break these laws.

    I have NO OPINION for you on whether the law is just, only that I have a problem encouraging people to break laws.

    So, are you able to tell the difference between supporting THE law, as opposed to supporting A law, or do I need to spell it out for you?

    You know what mods, FUCK YOU.

    Do you have any idea how idiotic it is to mod something like that down as flamebait?

    I'm so tired of you pathetic fucking cowards modding things down you DISAGREE with. There's no flamebait there, but you pompus twits just keep modding, because you're too stupid to actually argue the point.
