[LINK] Browser Add-on

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

The following has just been posted to an online group. Does any Linker
know anything about this, good or bad?  (Quote ..)

If you don't already have this, this is how to get blocked video streaming 
websites (eg, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, etc) to work on your computer. 

It's just an add-on when using Firefox browsers. 

1. Install the latest version of Firefox
2. Go to Add-ons 
3. At the top right of the add- on page, type this Media Hint 0.1.13 when
   this shows, add this add-on to Firefox. 
4. Close Firefox and re-open it, nothing else is necessary other than to
   open blocked websites you couldn't see before.  

This Firefox add-on will not work on a dial-up connection. A connection of 
at least 2Mbps or more is needed for this add-on to work properly.

This add-on slows down Firefox loading of websites. I use Google Chrome as 
my main browser, but I use Firefox to watch blocked USA programs. BTW, the 
free shareware, "Hotspot Shield" will do the same too, but it's a nuisance 
so I hardly use it anymore. This Firefox add-on works better for viewing 
blocked video streaming programs.
