It's incredible how many trackers are on a page huh? I forget which site it was but there were over 100 trackers on it.

Free avast virus suite, free adblocker plus eliminates 95% of all that crap. I'll be adding Ghostery that I had on win8 to this one with 10 as well. It was pretty cool to see the amount of spies out there.....

I'm going to do the Avast as well. Setting up a new computer sucks.

I use both Ghostery snd uBlock Origin.
Both are great addons, Ghostery is more informative and user-friendly, while uBlock is more customizable snd better for making custom filters and blocking individual elements. |

My largest gripe is when getting on FB, and then spot an interesting topic posted to my 'timeline?' so I click on the shortened topic that acts as a hook to another site, and THAT site is so bombarded with God DAMN addy's the page is not readable....has all those weird health/illness/body/cures/ to the right, and those links lead to even worse crap....
much less even on FB directly the page jumps up/down with all the posts, and prompts in the lower left about some group addition/comment that I now viewing..... FB is getting really annoying anymore..... I go there for friends/family and political conservative chat groups...... too boot they have shortened the list of frequently visited sites down from some 8 or so to just 4, so I have to scratch my ass to remember..... Oh, added Ghostery to FF.....guess I find out..... |
