Experience the censored Chinese internet at home!

China Channel Firefox Add-on
Experience the censored Chinese internet at home!

"The Firefox add-on China Channel offers internet users outside of China the ability to surf the web as if they were inside mainland China. Take an unforgetable virtual trip to China and experience the technical expertise of the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry (supported by western companies). It's open source, free and easy."


I'm going to download this and take a look.

Wow -- this is worth a look.

We might as well have a preview of the messiahnfuhrer+skeletor's internet. Except for the sex.  That they will promote, since they encourage their daughters to have free sex as muh as they want and then kill the results.

It's extremely slow, but I'm also running BitTorrent. 

Give me a second.

I think this is a joke.  Every site I type in (even Google.ch gives me an Access Denied page.

I finally got a connection, but it keeps failing.  I'll have to check it out later.

Hmmm- I think you might be right -- it would make sense as a joke.


Too bad -- it would have been interesting.

I was able to access Google using the Chinese proxy but lost the connection when I tried to do any searches.

What kind of connection do you have?

And do you think it is safe for me to download?

I have a 1.5 Mbs cable connection (the poor-man's interwebz), and it's a Firefox add-on.  It's as safe as any others, I suppose.

Since I have my usual MNI, I'll load it and give you independent results.

I loaded it and all it did was translate everything into Swiss or Dutch or something.

I was able to access FR and Amnesty International -- I *know* the Chinese wouldn't allow the latter.

It also slowed FF down to a crawl so I uninstalled it.
