I asked this in the other thread but I guess there's too many comments there: Is there a project for Firefox that is analogous to Chromium for Chrome? I need a Firefox build with all the Mozilla shit ripped out. I don't trust the

Oh, can you point me to a list of all the links google has censored in the EU?

I'm a developer in Bangalore. It was glorious. One thing to understand is that in India regular small time business owners are involved in a lot of tax evasion. They don't report their income fully and thus always have a huge stas
