Hello,
I read in another forum that a well known *ahem* site now pops up a malicious website message in Firefox 3.And indeed it does.I checked it myself.
Now I want to know how come Firefox does it ? I mean when we type a site address in the browser it connects to the DNS server,gets the ip of the site and then directly connects to the site ...aint it ? Then how come Firefox can put its leg in between ? Do whatever we browse travel through Firefox's server/Google's server (the sites are usually tagged maliciuos by google)? Or does firefox also checks up with google for every site we visit behind the screen ?
