BEWARE: Obsession: Attracts Cougars.

Sure, that's a workaround, but it doesn't solve the real problem - because the problem is not connecting to blocked sites (I have absolutely no interest in online gambling). The real problem is censorship.

Google's customers (like Adsense or Adwords customers) can already contact Google. The general public can't. But that's because they aren't customers, they are the content.

Sorry?! Let's get this straight: the Mozilla Corporation made over $72 million in 2005 from Google - if you search Google with the integrated search box Mozilla earn approx. 80% of the search ads revenue. Same goes for the default Firefox-branded home page.

Opera is no different - it is no secret that they dropped the ad banners in the browser and have moved to a "free" model because they have negotiated a similar deal to Mozilla.

Google makes plenty of money from these two browsers, Firefox in particular. It's not for nothing they pay $1 per installation of Firefox (via AdSense referrals) and advertize it heavily.
