blocking the Google web accelerator

@ 08:36 AM (36 months, 24 days ago)

quite recently, google released its google web accelerator, which became fast a target of criticism for its aggressive behaviour. Pre-fetching wrong internet pages, privacy issues and the list goes on an on. Unfortunatelly there's a already a prejudice that everything that comes from google is "good" in nature, and people rush in to get it as soon as it's out. Before they take it off completelly, and disable their GWA download page that still works, ISPs and webmasters worldwide should take these steps to disable the web accelerator from google.
