Kaizou Blog

I finally managed to implement a full Kaizou support on the server side, as opposed to the javascript or Firefox add-on client implementation. The only restriction is that if the page is modified on the client by a post-load javascript, the Kaizou modifications will not be applied on the modified parts.

Anyway, I have never been fully satisfied by the javascript version, that was both slow and unreliable, especially on IE, so I will soon migrate to the server counterpart.

As a bonus, I have allowed user to ask a kaizou file to be applied on the page they want, so I expect it to be used more extensively.

I have just discovered that the Kaizou extension was used by bad guys to scam people, luring them to trade fake stuff based on kaizoed screen captions. I don’t want to advertize this too much so I won’t give any details, but I feel very sorry for the victims, although they should not faithfully trust any screen caption, knowing the vast amount of tools at disposal to modify Web pages or images.
