Hi Gustav: The new IE10 seems to be the ticket and with the controversy around the browser THOR it may be a very good way to go. I seriously doubt that Google will fully equip Chrome as their business is advertising and allowing their clients access to their users browser statistic is their bread and butter. OTOH, the new Firerfox 23 is supposed to also be very secure, very fast and it runs across all platforms and within all OSs.

I've tried clicking the "remove this kind of add" sometimes offered by Google, but that just tells the Googs that I've seen this add - so it will pop up forever and ever. Very clever. Due to the much discussion on privacy following Mr. Snowden's doings, I decided as a first step to check out IE10's Tracking Protection. It is a snap to turn on, zero installation, and zero cost. It works but - much to my surprise - it also removes a lot of adds. The local newspaper sites and ComputerWorld is now readable without adds filling half the screen, and pages load much quicker. What a relief! /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
