Access Flickr in the PRC

There’s a new addon for Firefox that gets around the recent Flickr block. Apparently all it affects is Flickr photos. Get it here:

I’m using it and it works great. The only downside of using this is that I won’t know when Flickr becomes unblocked…

    Wow. Yeah, I noticed this a few days ago. I’m in Kunming, and flickr images were still blocked for me this morning!

    @davesgonechina:

    Yeah, it’s not unblocked for us here in Shanghai yet. (Or maybe it’s just ADSL subscribers?)

    Flickr website is not blocked, but the pictures on it are blocked.

    Load up this page and you get broken picture links.

  8. Matt says:

    Here at some internet bar in Haila’er I am unable to access that Mozilla addon page. Has that now been blocked too?
