A bit of an edge case this. I know for me I mute my speakers permanently when using TOR in-case I encounter a shock page like Lemon Party or Goatse

This hosts file is updated regularly to help prevent accidentally stumbling upon (shock|malicious|etc) style sites: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts

Been using it for a few months now and have found it invaluable.

Oh thanks for that! Does TOR honor the hosts file, specifically Tor Browser Bundle? I haven't tried.

I don't believe so but my change in the Linux resolver daemon does honor the hosts file for all .onion entries.
