I remember in the mid-90s when the web was just, basically, a playground. Yeah, there was some "bad" stuff out there but not like today. I installed BetterPrivacy 1.67 and Ghostery 2.6.2 as add-ons for Firefox - WTF is going on out there? What's all this tracking crap that Ghostery is now stopping? BTW, we have no trackers here LOL.

If you have Firefox go to tools / add-ons and find those two and install them. You wouldn't believe the tracking crap that's out there.

"...men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms; whereas, they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence." Fabre D'Olivet
