On the cookie issue, I have had very good luck with this in Firefox:

Nice, I have the settings to delete all history and cookies when I close the browser as well as remove them all the time while I am using it.


I don't want to leave Firefox because of NoScript.  That stops a lot of snooping.  Too bad it doesn't work for other browsers like Vivaldi.  I would switch in a heartbeat because the dirty stuff Mozilla Location Services does is ugly.

hope this helps,

I used to when Firefox had the "ask me every time" for cookies. They got rid of that, so now I clear them out all the time. Many times a day and every time I close the browser... :)

Then I found out about Mozilla Location Services, how they made it so we can't block that and realized they only blocked others and not themselves from feasting on our data.

Bastards!
