In China, my choices of search engines were either yahoo or baidu, since there was no google. I used yahoo most of the time since baidu is really boring to use
I was gonna comment just that. I went to china to visit my parents on holiday, and i VOLONTARILY switched to yahoo because i had no choice. After 2 days I gave up and downloaded a SVN tho, takes longer, but seriously I'm too used to googles result to search with something else. I just expect some results to happen and yahoo doesnt have them.
I used Opera Navigator, it has a built in VPN that worked for me. It's a little slow tho (if you want fast youre gonna have to pay, broadband is expensive). That way I had facebook and google and whatnot running on opera, while I had the rest of my internet usage that wasn't limited by china on my usual navigator that didn't use the VPN (hence, not slowed down).
Didn't have one on my cellphone tho.
