SOPA Wikipedia blackout hack

by Pat Skinner on 1/18/2012

Are you mad about this outrageous Wikipedia censorship?

Disable JavaScript.

The black censor never appears.

Here’s how:

Chrome

Open up the preferences, and go under the hood.

Remember when they said it was English language Wikipedia only? That’s why we use en.wikipedia.org.

Firefox

Safari

wget http://en.wikipedia.org/Rickroll

or
curl -O http://en.wikipedia.org/Rickroll

You’ll have to append .htm to files downloaded this way (i.e. Rickroll.htm) to open on Mac Lion 10.7.2.
