Ever had Firefox add users to any or all of these blocked, favorites, hidden, subscriptions lists for no reason? Using Google Web Accelerator? That is the reason I believe, it is a Google mirror site, you are not actually on Collarme but on the Google server with then watching your every move!

You are mistaken. CM is on it's own dedicated hardware, and has nothing to do with Google.

This surprised me a bit, since I've seen my browser pause while hitting google.analytics.

The urchin.js script?

That's why they invented Adblock. Sometimes, when performance sucks, I even add the scroller into adblock, so the rest of the pages render while the scroller script is hanging...

Some seem to be missing the point, There are other accelerators perhaps as good as Propel, I do not work for Propel! I just compared it to Google's accelerator, Propel is impressive, if stuck where no high speed is available, Google was not. Why go to a involuntary mirror site with unknown motives (Google's) and suffer low performance and glitches instead of using a working high compression accelerator that works? I also use Ad Block Plus, No Script, Fasterfox, Key Scrambler, and propel, TCPOptimizer and Cablenut. I am not sure Google=Government but they both smell the same. I am open to suggestions on improving windows and can offer help if needed. I am always learning. I am pro constitution but anti current government.

You know that every layer of crap is another vector for infection?

What happens when you nuke the harddrive clean and reload the machine fresh, and don't have all that stuff there?

And given that AT&T is ***GIVING*** your internet traffic to the NSA, as shown by evidence admitted in EFF v. AT&T, I'm not sure why they would bother dicking around with some toy like Google Accelerator or whatever... Worry more about the Russian Mafia who wrote some of that "Add-on" shit that gets installed.

Uncle Sam scares me more than any foreign power. No conscience.
