    I was shocked this morning to see my beloved dvxuser is blocked by Google. I am using Safari on a Mac. When I use my Windows Vista, each time it is reported that buffer flow just happened and website shuts down utomatically.
    One thing very disturbing to me: How come when Google listed some website as malware website, then every browser will give the freaking warning? It appears that the whole internet is now under control of Google. This can't be good, it is like Company XYZ is established to fight terrorism, when I report a person (say you) to XYZ, all of a sudden, whereever you go (your workplace, airport, Walmart, hospital, postal office, interstate highway), you are blocked and told you are criminal, this is ridiculous.
    I am not upset because the website is annoying this morning, I am pissed because there is secret connection between Google and any broswer,
    Google is now the most abnoxious big brother (Remeber the "Don't be evil" philosophy by Google 5 years ago) and something must be done to stop that, or one day we will be in virtual Google prison.
    It is onething when you google search something, in their search results, they tell you the site poses a risk, it is another thing that they control the browser from Apple, Microsoft, Firefox. I am getting more and more fed up with Google, BTW, anyone notice that gmail and Google Map chock so much recently?
    No personal attack, please, this is not trolling. We must act to stop this Google tyranny!

    If you think so, buy some stock and ride the wave of tyranny to wealth and money!

    If cinematography wasn't infinite, I'm sure I would have found the end by now.

    It is still not working on my laptop, it kept crashing. It is annyoing that many websites are not working properly due to bad software and malicious people who put up malware, hackware, all those people should be in jail!

    "Tyranny" is not a word to be tossed around lightly, and I CERTAINLY wouldn't use it to describe a search engine.

    I agree. Google should stick to filtering their search engine, NOT my bookmarks.

    DVXuser has done nothing wrong but, because of Google (and a partnership with Firefox, Safari, etc.), DVXuser is losing valuable web traffic and clicks, which DVXuser needs in order to pay the bills. The worst part is, there is absolutely NO accountaility on Google's end. Google can label a website as malicious, harm a website's reputation, hurt the site's revenue, and then walk away. There's nothing DVXuser can do except jump through Google's hoops because, if they don't, DVXuser won't have enough visitors to survive. If that doesn't make you scared then wait until it happens to your website and your income stops coming in.

    "Don't be evil." sounds like something the devil would say.... while smiling.
