I don't think this is wise solution, just because of blocking G2 users and not only.

Well, its the only solution anyone has come up with the cut down on the foxy spam. If you come up with something better, by all means share it. But some get almost nothing but useless foxy results.


As I said in my post where I linked to it, its not a great solution but its the only one available atm.

Please don't be angry. You know this is just a habbitt of free communities. Always somebody talks something often not very wise or even pointless. If I know there is possibility to set up blocking Foxy only by adding Foxy in setttings>internet>uploads to "filter user agents".
