Rupert Murdoch owns everything. EVERYTHING. Every TV station, every newspaper, every song in the entire world belongs to him. He owns your legs, he owns your opinions, and he even owns your face. He owns everything. And by "everything", I don't mean everything. I just mean he owns a lot.

This makes it tremendously difficult for the committed Murdoch boycotter, as it's almost impossible to actually memorise everything he owns. So thank Murdoch for these two new browser add-ons which make it far easier to actively avoid his media.

For Chrome, there's Murdoch Block, which redirects you to a page telling you the website has been blocked "in the name of justice". (Sadly, it doesn't actually say that. But it totally should.) It also gives you the option to unblock the site temporarily; though of course, if you're an elite Murdoch boycotter you'll resist this temptation, and use a different website instead.

For Firefox, there's Murdoch Alert. Rather than blocking the site, this add-on just displays a tiny, tea-rose pink bar along the bottom of the page, declaring: "ALERT: This domain is controlled by the Murdoch Family. Your computer's ip address has been exposed and may be logged." Which, admittedly, is an odd message. Saying an "IP address has been exposed" sounds a bit like saying "Murdoch is stealing your megahertz!!".

Sadly, neither plug-in seemed to work perfectly. They both successfully detected my visit to thesun.co.uk. Chrome's Murdoch Block detected my visit to ign.com, but Firefox's Murdoch Alert didn't. Neither add-on detected my visit to the New York Post. And Murdoch Block for Chrome actually blocks telegraph.co.uk, which isn't owned by Murdoch at all! I guess they got confused between the UK and Australian papers that share the same name.


My friends and I were actually planning on making our own browser add-ons, doing exactly this. We probably no longer need to, now that other people have done the work instead, but I thought it would still be worth sharing the list we've compiled of all the websites Murdoch either owns, part-owns, or has a stake in, as you may be interested to see them all in one place.

Despite its length, the list is not complete. For example, we have wsj.com, wallstreetjournal.com and wallstreetjournal.net, but we may have missed other variations on the domain. We also don't have the domains for every movie and TV show that he's released, though there's a few random ones in there like xmenfirstclass.co.uk. It would definitely be great to gather more of them. I'm also sure there are more Australian newspaper domains, especially local papers. And the Australian TV section has barely even been started.

I invite anyone to use this list and do what they like with it, particularly the fine people behind the two anti-Murdoch plug-ins. If you see a domain I've missed, or if I've made any mistakes, please do leave a comment to let me know. And if you do use the list, it would be awfully nice if you could give a credit to the @BoycottMurdoch Twitter account.
