Have fun:
http://dl.google.com/firefox/google-safebrowsing.xpi

though if Google says US only, then US only.

US only...
There must be a preference/config setting, which tells google what country you're in!
Where?

I would guess that they do it by IP address.
Makes me wonder if anyone's tried getting around this by using a US-based proxy.
There was a least one person that said they were successful in getting a Gmail address in this way (instead of googlemail, in the UK), so I wonder if's theoretically possible....

God idea, jut did it!
But it was realy complicated to find an proxy, that was working..
