Hi All. I am new to the Lazarus World   and feeling good that I am at
last here. I have a simple project(I think so). I want to make a
browser in Gecko and xulRunner. The browser will just be able to view
YouTube and will use two mozilla's addons. First is ABP(Adblock Plus)
and will use a proxy addon(may be ZenMate). The target is to make a
youtube viewer for schools, workplaces or areas where youtube is
blocked. I have made the browser and now just wondering how to add the
add-ons which I have downloaded in .XPI format?? As mozilla firefox is
based on gecko and xulRunner So there must be possibility to do so.
Any comments how to do this! OR If you know another component or
webkit else than gecko which can embed proxy at least to conceal the
IP I would appreciate its mentioning. My target Platform is MS Windows
and if possible also Android. At last if my question doesn't fit to
this forum I apologize for that as I have stated I am new here. Thanks
to all of you and I would list you in my memory as My Teacher Of
LAZARUS.

Erm you do know that if youtube is blocked that means that any request
from any application to youtube domain will be simple ignored by the
router (or the router it self will return a 403 or a 404 result )
right?

can truly see youtube videos my bet is it can't.

I think that's the reason why he wanted to include a proxy addon, to
bypass router-blocks. Maybe with a free, external proxy.

This should be the next thing, on your ToDo-list, since it's an
essential feature of your app.
By the way, how far are you, make some example, post some code.
