Aside from the plugin, there are two things that can be added to the current 
game to improve the situation: 

1.      A page redirection detection: add javascript on the top frame to 
prevent the proxied websites from getting rid of the bar. 

2.      "Report this page" feature: an option in the option menu that would 
allow a player to report a broken page. Reports would then be stored in a SQL 
table (with URL, login, date/time - one row per report). When the page is 
reported broken by several users, the page would be automatically deactivated 
(number configurable in the config file - only reports from authenticated users 
count), and replaced by a screenshot (taken from browsershots.org 
<http://browsershots.org/>  for example). Two other tables would allow to tune 
this automated behavior: a whitelist (to keep specific urls active, even if 
they are reported lots of times) and a blacklist (to deactivate pages, even if 
they haven't been reported); in those lists, using the '*' wildcard would allow 
to match multiple pages. 

Let me know if you think it would be good - and if it would take the two days 
left for alpha2.1.

[David] I can’t comment regarding the technical part, but feature wise it seems 
like a very good idea to me. 

Vlad what’s your opinion ?

[Vlad] yes, I think I can fit them in 2 days. This does not include the browser 
plugin, right?
