Isn't there also an issue - as with all browsers - about 'spyware', tracking cookies, and similar? I use 'No Script', and I have FF set to ask before setting cookies; but I'm not certain that this catches all the rubbish. As I mentioned before, I did have a go at using Nixory - which picked up a couple of tracking cookies on first use; but its spyware database does not appear to be getting updated any more. Can I do anything about browser spyware? Or am I getting worked up about nothing? -- Diana -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
