The Story of Google, Firefox, Safari, Spyware, and Captcha

Posted • December 29, 2008 • Comments Off

Snubbed by Google for being Spyware

I was asked how to find a particular typeface:

Find this typeface?? How?
We drew our creative inspiration from the depression era. For typography, we wanted to evoke a no frills, tough times feeling, and after reviewing a few options we decided on a typeface called Memphis as the primary font for the identity. Memphis is a classic Slabserif designed in 1930 by Rudolf Wolf.

I entered “Memphis font” into the little Google search box on my Firefox browser hit return and guess what…

Spyware or Computer Virus

I am no longer a person I am an automated request from a computer virus or spyware application. Google has blocked me from using their search engine.

I entered the capcha letters properly and guess what? I get the same error message only without the captcha box.

Very interesting I can search Google using Safari as my browser but not Firefox.
Does Google have a vendetta against Mozilla and Firefox?

After a substantial wait I can once again access Google using Firefox.

I guess I am OK in Google’s eyes once again. I am no longer a computer virus or spyware. Even if I am presented with the captcha page when ever I want to begin a search.

Whew! That was close. I almost lost my identity icon wink The Story of Google, Firefox, Safari, Spyware, and Captcha
