It only takes one hand to type. And this split screen technology is great for multi-tasking.

99% of the ads that follow me around are about cars which does not bother me in the least. Many times I will even get sucked in and click on a vehicle for a look see. Maybe Admin should put some ads for hunting, sporting goods or cars up with the tits and ass.

Just installed Ghostery, a google extension, it shows a pop-up of tracking sites it blocks.
It blocks 16 tracking sites on the burning platform, below is the list

16Trackers
Adblade
Amazon Associates
BuySellAds
Content.ad
DoubleClick
Facebook Social Graph
Google Analytics
Gravatar
LockerDome
MarketGid
Newsmax
Outbrain
Quantcast
Taboola
Twitter Button
Wordpress Stats

Did a quick search on the “Favorite Websites”, most have 3 to 4 trackes, the range was 0 to 9.

“Lucy”, I think TBF might have a problem

No worries admin. Ghostery is now a corporate owned for profit deal and if you’re using it you’re being sold out by the new owners. I think I wrote an article about it.

I was in a hurry when I wrote it so there aren’t many details but people can look into it for themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHqqOILs98c

Other useful software:
MAXA Cookie Manager (total deleted cookies: 619,274 since installation!)
Avast (antivirus)
NoScript
AdBlockPlus
I have access to a VPN package from work, and run it constantly.
With all this, someone from NSA or whoever can probably still track me somewhat, but the odds are far lower. Viral infections are also way down; MAXA will tell you how many different kinds of cookies there are and how to block them, which is interesting as well.
