To Canadian sifters - Easily bypass US only region blocking
Not used the Sift Talk before, but as @eric3579 advised me, this would be a good place to share something I discovered a while back.
It's a simple Chrome and Firefox extension that will allow you to view any US only, region blocked content like Comedy Central, Netflix, Hulu, etc in your browser. Just go here, install and bam, no more region blocking bollocks:

I've been using it for months and never had any problem with it.
It is completely FREE, but if you feel so inclined, why not give them a small donation for this extremely useful addon?
BTW. it's not just for use in Canada, but anywhere.

pumkinandstormThanks for sharing that! I'll definitely give it a try.
PlayhousePalsThanks for posting this @EvilDeathBee ! I know I post things from time to time that are blocked outside the US so it's a relief to know there is a workaround for those who reside in distant regions.

gwiz665Hmm. hulu doesn't work for me, but netflix just goes.

This is so awesome! Thank you! We live in Japan and don't want to have to pay for a VPN just to get NetFlix and Hulu working (there's no Japanese version of NetFlix and the Hulu one has an extremely limited selection of movies/shows, though they keep adding more every week). This did the trick for us!
@gwiz665
That's weird, it worked just fine for me. Usually I get re-directed to the Japanese Hulu site, but I was able to sign up for the American one no problem after downloading the plug-in.
