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."

    Now I can find stuff in China as well! Really, what do I care? If I want to find stuff on Google I am only really interested in the stuff written in English anyway. When was the last time you said to yourself "Damn! I can't find what I am looking for in Europe or the US, maybe the Chinese have it?"?

    There is a big difference betweem them (PS - All the so called communist regimes so far have nothing to do with communism)

    Shhhh, don't confuse the children. We have always been at war with China, they eat babies over there I hear...
