I'm never gonna give you up, let you down or hurt you.

RickRoll detector for firefox.

What is Rick Roll Detector?
Rick Roll Detector is a firefox addon (extension) that recognize links which are pointing to rickroll jokes, and let you know about them before you click them. for example :


Rick Roll Detector will automaticlly update its database to block new rickroll links.

Why?

Stop those pranks from wasting your time! stop getting rickroll'd before you even click them.

How do i install?

you can go to our download page to download the firefox extension. You will need firefox for that.

7. Maybe in the Lounge. They can handle their own over there.
It seems like a disruptive practice for any other forums.

11. All forms of misdirection should be banned....
Imagine I post a "link" to a Bill Moyer's video that instead takes you to Limbaugh...

Why should there be an exception for Rick Rolling?

Both being on the receiving end and handing them out :). It's just a little schoolyard joke really.
