Open Source Python Browser Extensions and Plugins for Linux

Since the governments of some countries are using the blocking the internet access to several websites and web service providers which includes some world famous sites like Google, YouTube, twitter, Facebook, and Wikipedia etc., we designed this tiny utility in order to help people getting through the Internet blockade. Hosts Setup Utility provides basic tools to manage the hosts file on current operating systems. It also provides both support for Graphical Desktop environment with Graphical User Interface (GUI) and CLI environment with Text-based User Interface (TUI). Users could use these tool to modify the hosts to visit specified websites or services blocked by ISP/government. Functions which help users to backup/restore hosts files are also provided.

Google builds 'profiles' of everyone that uses their services. These profiles contain your IP, search history, and other information. For more information regarding exactly what Google uses this information for, DuckDuckGo has a good website that explains it all at donttrack.us. effgoogle is a ridiculously tiny and simple python program that opens up a user-specified number of Firefox instances, opens Google, and searches random phrases and common searches. This confuses Google and makes it more difficult for you to be tracked. There's also an option for effgoogle to make a list of phrases to be searched by harvesting google search suggestions and random titles of Wikipedia pages. Works with python 2.7 under Ubuntu linux, support for different python versions and oses soon to come. effgoogle is completely free and licensed under the Beerware license.
