On a scale of 1 to 10 my computer knowledge is a struggling 2 at most, which allows me to get by on forums or searching for kit, emailing the kids or even storing photos. Perhaps in my ignorance I see threats and intrusions which more knowledgeable people simply ignore, but I'm amazed how "suggestions" appear when searching, or suddenly Amazon pops up when I search for something which when I look on the Amazon website, states " Not known when new stock available" or something similar....
The result is that for some years I've played the ' Ok try and track me game.' I don't know if anyone can see, but I'm typing this (with one finger) on a Browser which prevents...as far as I can tell...much of the tracking and snooping which goes on with things connected with the mighty Mr Google. All this leads me sadly to announce that even my secret Squirrel Browser has fallen prey to the powerful spying Masters...

"True, free private search on a large scale is impossible to offer at present. We have tried for years now to obtain another private search partnership since Google annulled ours, but it simply isn’t possible. It’s cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars (even with the donations from thousands of you) over the past few years to keep Epic going. The expense is so great at our scale we couldn’t ..."
And so my sneaky beaky search facility is no longer Googleproof...Although Epic do offer a limited but paid for facility.
It would seem that Google simply does not like or allow searches to be made unless they can obtain information on the searcher..
The point of all this waffle from me is, that if my posts suddenly appear in an Uzbekistan dialect..it means I've found another, at least temporary Google/ Chrome/ Microsoft nosey proof Browser...
Just as an addition...I've learned that some search engines which claim not to pass on info omit to state clearly that they are still forced to pass on some personal info...otherwise they too, get "Annulled"....
On with the game....
