This was the question, If everyone knows what quality is, […]
As usual I was surfing around and clicked on a blogspot blog. The usual drill is,
open the blogspot blog in another Firefox tab,
copy the URL into a proxy,
browse the site through a proxy.
A few minutes ago, something extraordinary happened, the blogspot sites loads!
