Little Firefox/Chrome addon I thought i'd share

Thanks to Mabs for pointing it out, I honestly had no idea it even existed. Its called "Hola Unblocker", it basically forces your browser to think you're in another country so you can view websites from other countries without the use of a proxy.

It's good but it used to be better, they've updated it to display contextual ads when you're browsing (which presumably means your browsing history is going into one of their servers at some point). It's ok if you just turn it on and off when required though.

Not seen an advert on a web page in about 5 years.

I use this for Netflix, very good.
