minervadoe Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 More and more I resent companies like Facebook that sell information about their users. So, I use the containers feature on Firefox to prevent Facebook from following me around the web. It's something else to think about as we all become more web savvy. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers Table of Contents What are Containers?

Moshe Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Yup. Not hard to do. Much like someone's desire to put me here when my daughter was in kinder garden and my wife forced us to take photos taken while I was taking leave from work. If they wanted something updated, they might consider that my beard now is mostly white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostinTexas Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I've been using Qwant for some time now. I really like it and the searches are a little more broad than DuckDuckGo and StartPage. I really like both of these and have used both for a long time until I stumbled on Qwant. At times I like a more "American" search so I'll go to the Duck or StartPage for it. Since both of these are based on Google, it provides mostly the same results that Google would, but they throw up the roadblocks for tracking. I always took both with a grain of salt since they are based on Google search, but they seem to do a good enough job of turning away the tracking modes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Quote I would imagine that the search engine in small potatoes compared to the multitude of Apps running in the average smart phone. Look at the permissions required to run those apps. Edited October 2, 2019 by janice6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 My phone, my computer, all know I like firearms and firearms accessories. Such is life. Maybe it will keep the Betos away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
