| Not great google
This actually pisses me off that I ended up spending time designing a nice 404 error page for my site visitors to get them back on the right track. As far as I am concerned, Google is performing a man in the middle attack on my website trying to deliver a 404 error page.

| Thats exactly how I feel. I had made a really nice 404 page for my site.
Well I'll fix google, I'm putting in a .htaccess that puts users back to the home page with the 404 code on any link that doesn't work,  |

|  And that's exactly what a responsible web developer should do. I applaud you for not whining about it, but taking action that resolves the issue. Heck, put them to a page that returns a 200, but still says that their content was unavailable.
Simple NON-problems require simple solutions. |

| For the code challenged webmasters out there, here is a sample of the .htaccess code that will definitely bypass the new Google toolbar 404 redirection hijack. I just installed the Google beta toolbar in question, and on my web sites and others that do similar internal 404 redirection (including dslreports.com) the new Google toolbar had no effect.
