The Curious Case of Istyosty – When is a Proxy not a Proxy, General Legality and the Moral Highground « Rev Dan Catt's Blog
Istyosty was a site that acted as a “proxy” for the Daily Mail (Mail Online). The general idea behind it was to allow people to link to a Mail Online story (via Istyosty) from twitter or a blog post to discussing how terrible the article is, but not actually driving traffic to the site.

Vintage Computing and Gaming | Archive » [ Retro Scan of the Week ] Sony Digital Mavica FD-7
Funny enough, I recall ghost enthusiasts on the Internet circa 1998 picking the FD-7 as their camera of choice for its uncanny ability to capture vast flurries of out-of-focus dust (aka “ghost orbs”). That endorsement alone speaks volumes about the camera’s lackluster optical qualities. Also, this new breed of digital ghost hunters didn’t have to feel guilty about taking endless rolls of 35mm dust photos, which can get quite expensive to develop.

Why FireFox is Blocked
While blanket ad blocking in general is still theft, the real problem is Ad Block Plus's unwillingness to allow individual site owners the freedom to block people using their plug-in.
