I think you might be blocking nodes for no real reason.
First, any exit node that is going to redirect my traffic in that manner,
I just want to exlude.
Second, I was referencing the sorry.google.com -> ixquick redirect merely
as an example. There are plenty of other practical reasons that you might
want to exclude exit nodes, for example the exit nodes that are already
flagged by google for excessive search submissions. Sometimes, it's a pain
to try to find a new exit node that isn't already flagged, and by
excluding the nodes you already know are flagged, obviously it increases
the chances that you will be able to find a different one that isn't.
Third, torbutton only works for browsers anyways.
