If you feel the need to rebel against the capitalism and global media dominance of Rupert Murdoch’s Newscorp, then this Chrome web app should save you the hassle of entering a list of Murdoch’s owned websites into your block list. To install the app, go to this page of Chrome Web App Store. There is a similar addon available for Firefox which can be found here: Firefox Addon – Murdochblock
For the comprehensive list of the websites that are blocked by the app, go to this wiki page. As rightly pointed out by commenter Alec on the app page, the websites of The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph have been incorrectly blocked as well, even though these are not owned by Newscorp, but are owned by1Barclay Brothers. Probably, this is due to some confusion since Murdoch owns the Australian The Daily Telegraph (thedailytelegraph.com.au).
This is an open-source app and the source-code is here: http://code.google.com/p/murdoch-block/

Specially with so many free WordPress layouts available, it is absolutely mandatory for all bloggers to keep in mind about the end user browsing experience, in terms of the layout being stable (Techkeyla had a few problems-the sidebars had all scrolled down to the bottom, as IE doesn’t believe in resizing the images to fit the width. Had to resize them myself). But then, we cannot install all the possible browsers available and of course, not test them on multiple OS-s as well. Now, here’s the perfect solution to a complicated problem. Browsershots.org. This site enables you to test your site/blog on multiple browsers and their multiple versions available across three OS-s,viz. Linux, Windows and Mac OS. Among the listed browsers are Firefox, Opera, MS IE, Kazehakase, Epiphany, Firebird, Flock, Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Phoenix, Safari, BonEcho, GranParadiso, Galeon, Konqueror, Minefield,K-Meleon and Navigator.Here in the picture above, I tried testing Techkeyla across multiple browsers and it seems to be quite consistent in display.
