Mozilla has announced the new beta version of Firefox 4 Mobile is available for download on both Maemo and Android phones. The last version was a little rough, and the developers claim to have taken user suggestions to heart in this release. Among the improvements are a much reduced install size on Android devices (17MB instead of 43MB), improved text rendering, and lower memory usage. The app also supports app2sd storage on Froyo phones.
Chrome and Firefox are again blocking direct access to The Pirate Bay's download pages. According to Google's safe browsing program, ThePirateBay.org is a "deceptive site" that may steal user information. The TPB crew has been alerted to the issue and hope it will be resolved soon.
Yeah, that is Google being stupid as usual. Both Chrome & Firefox use Googles faulty attack protection layer. Chrome obviously being made by Google. Not sure how to disable it in Chrome since i do not use that garbage but in Firefox just go to Tools > Options > Security, & uncheck "Block Dangerous and Deceptive Content".

Chrome, Firefox and Safari are actively blocking direct access to The Pirate Bay. According to the browsers, Thepiratebay.se is a "deceptive site" or "web forgery," that may steal user information. The TPB crew has been alerted to the issue, and hope it will be resolved soon.
Oh gosh!! This news really hurt me as i used to download each and every media from piratebay. If the points that it can steal data from our pc's are right then i will say that they did right.
