Deny Offline Browsers for DMX
George programmed long time ago an extension for Ultradev called "Deny offline browsers", which stops website-grabbers such as WebCopier and Webzip from downloading our sites. Usually, grabber-stoppers encode the full HTML so those applications can't follow links... The downside is that search engines are unable to index the protected page, too.
I suppose George chose a different approach, and that it works as the extension is still in dmxzone.com to be downloaded, and we all trust him! :) Alas, it's just for Ultradev, so MX users as me can't try it. If it really works, it should be a MUST-HAVE for every developer! My opinion is that "Deny Offline Browser" extension should be updated for MX and even launched commercially. I'd pay gladly if a simple extension could protect my page from being grabbed, and my webserver from being saturated as those grabbers work in a multithreaded way.
