[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 832840, member: 32547"] Trying Firefox portable lately, and 69 seems much better than the original Quantum version of FF. I think I like where Mozilla is going with security. Seems clear, there is a different agenda at Mozilla than is apparently the case with Google. Sometimes I wonder how stupid the employees of these corporate barges like Google think people are. So now it looks like they have the idea that they can just decide to destroy freedom of choice on the internet and noone can or will care, because they are Google. I don't know what happens to people who go to work there. It's mystifying. Problem is everyone in IoT and government want simple answers to complex problems. At the first hint of a complication, professional integrity is unsurreptitiously tossed overboard and disgraceful action and activity is justified as some kind of corporate/government entitlement, which is reserved for only the elites or chosen insiders. What it is to me is organized laziness, honestly. Nobody wants to have to be the one to dive into the difficult questions. Amazon played this game with their supposed sweepstakes to the state in the U.S. that could pay them off best. What a joke that was. States offering Amazon $10 billion and more to move there. Forget about geography and demographics, just put the cash in my hand. Seemed more like a way to embezzle or to hold states hostage than anything, and, in the end, the solution for Amazon will be far grander and likely more complicated than the one the small minded men who came up with this imagine. Where are the players in this industry who can make things happen in the IoT industry ? I mean this industry needs big time deal makers who know what really works and what doesn't work. Well, it will first be international tolerance and negotiation and then international cooperation that will fix the problems of advertising on the internet, including spam and other issues. Many other issues will get handled this way too. No IoT company which binds its image to a single nation will be able to achieve much in terms of enlightening government officials to the global scale of the issues. So, Google just gives up or Microsoft just gives up, and they retreat for the American flag to feel loved. This is sad. Honestly, it's very discouraging. Well, at least it appears there will be Brave browser :) I think this would be the second time I've had to dump Google if I recall. I think the first was back around 2011 or 2012 over data mining and memory usage. If they go through with this plan, I guess I will have to dump Chrome again. Well, others are getting better fast, and how does this sound...Linux and Firefox and/or your other favorite browser(s)? Starting to sound better to me. [/QUOTE]
