Who's TonNet

If you are a regular at Education & Tech, you shall remember that I'd written a post almost everyday since 2003 and before, it even had different names such as Blog For Spanish Readers, BPLE, and so. You'd find posts in Spanish because that's how this blog started. Education & Tech covers tender questions of human living and rougher matters rotting the educators core.

Firefox: Downloading Free Access Plus!

Firefox is said to be having problems to attract money and compete with the IE from Microsoft that pours lots o money to keep their browser running. However, even when Firefox doesn't offer technical support for the enterprise circle, the add-ons are one of the most strongest arms this Firefox browser does have.
It over one month in the playground of the add=ons for Firefox and today has more than 35 thousands downloaded. Its name is FreeAccess Plus!. But why is so important and why in such a short time has received that large number of hits? Well, if you take a look to this map build up by the Global Voices Advocacy, you can easily notice that many countries had banned the Internet access and that's precisely the point, this add-on allows Firefox to work as a proxy and bypass censorship of YouTube, del.icio.us, Flickr, Technorati, FriendSter, livejournal, MySpace, Hi5 and even some other Persian (farsi) sites in Iran and other countries that blocked this sites ...

The note has been taken from GVO(Global Voices Online) and according to the article, the add-on author, MohammedR said the current version of FreeAccess Plus! does not support the option to add websites to those currently listed. However, this feature — an editable and configurable list — will be added in a future version of the program.
