- Just give this site a look, laugh at something if you can, and be happy.
 CiscoMatisse rated 14 months agostupid, corporate - The Mozilla corporation has decided to partner with this site and Google to "protect" you from pages which they have arbitrarily deemed "bad".
Sites blocked? A mac mod site, FFshrine (well-known for hosting video game MP3s), and bdcomics, a blog which offers comic book downloads. Many times the reason offered is simply "Google said this site was bad".
Sound corporate yet? Go Google search "google pays mozilla" (lol irony), and you'll find out that the Google corporation pays Mozilla 66 million dollars a year for a prime spot in the Firefox search bar.
No thank you. I can protect my PC on my own. And the people who can't? They deserve the spyware they get.
Keep the internet free- free of censorship, free of corporate influence, and free of stupid people.

Great idea! Thanks for the heads-up, Mark. Oh, umm.. I'm not so sure. Featured software 'Evidence Terminator' doesn't show up on Download.com. Any ideas?
