Yet I admit some pages can not be directly visited by URL for some reasons, such as wiki.
Searching for information I have to use a special browser designed for wiki.I don't know why.

If you were asked to guess, what would YOU think the reason is?

Gollum is based on PHP and Javascript using XMLHttp request for communication, better known as Ajax. That means, there is no need for databases and the code is ready for PHP5. Therefore, the client is only required to use a browser like Firefox, MS Internet Explorer, Netscape or Safari with activated Javascript. Safari has yet to be tested.

The censorship is a possible explanation. Maybe there are some information the Chinese government does not like. However since it is available after it is reloaded by Gollum, I guess Internet Router is more likey to be the reason.

They more than likely alter your routers before you get them. I find it funny after all the time money and resources they use to censor information, and it is as simple as someone writing a browser and their efforts failed, pitiful.
