I don't get how this would ever work, apart from preinstalled/precompiled or proprietary browsers? Just grab a copy from another country, or someone can create a script to download the source code, patch out the offending censor code and then compile the browser from source - it's not like it's hard to install dev tools anymore. Or even just distribute the uncensored binaries. Chromium and Firefox are both open-source.

- zamadatix 3y agoI'm not sure any method of censorship is considered on the basis it's 100% effective or not. The kinds of things you listed are additional hurdles most people either won't know or won't bother to deal with for all but the most extreme types of censorship (e.g. blocking something like Facebook or YouTube wholesale).
