at least, when i open the "what is proxo thinking" page and go to "recent url's", the LENGTH is ZERO for the non-redirected link...

I dont' think it is a server side redirect because I didn't see any 301/302 redirect in the log window. Instead, I saw many filter matches on the first url and the second (after redirected) url.

If you download the first url via a downloader, you can find location.href in the source.

It seems Opera will let location.href go even if you disable javascript. I know you use Opera too so could you confirm that?

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

However, when I make tests on Firefox which I set to accept google cookie, it doesn't redirect even without the GBV=1 fix. Is it supposed to be that - no redirect if you accept cookie?
