    Archive.ph would then be susceptible to DDOS attacks.

        A browser is just another network program. An add-on can do it, a program that can bypass protections can be written. Such an add-on would be used as an example to achieve that.

      Could someone explain what is happening here? Does Firefox have a builtin protection against DDOS specifically for Archive.ph? And why does it have it, why this specific site? Is there a protection for other sites too? I’m a bit confused here why Firefox itself would DDOS the site.

        When you visit archive.ph, your computer is used to DDoS a critic of archive.ph.

          Where’s the evidence of this?
