Technical Info:
Regarding the case of GitHub being DDoS attacked, it is widely believed that some JavaScripts in the Baidu domains (potentially injected) are related. Many innocent users are affected, and being exploited as DDoS sources.
The attack has not stopped even after 5 days, there are still reports of the “WARNING: malicious javascript detected on this domain” messages from users.
Although the attack approach may be changed, this extension tries to solve address the problems based on known information. It blocks most of the Javascripts from Baidu, reducing the chance of your browser being misused as attack source.
