People who feel the google love in their nether regions can click "yes please may I have another!" and enjoy all the free services Google offers. I think the laws should be changed so that people are in control of their data and must OPT IN to such data collection. The idea that Google gives me all these free things so I just should bent over and spread it for them to go up to their elbow collecting my "data" is moronic. But they aren't anywhere near better enough to be worth the price they ask, at least not to me. Not saying Google's results aren't better - they have orders of magnitude more dollars to throw at the problem, after all. I'll do the "!g" thing when I don't find what I was hoping to find, but usually I won't find it at Google either so I'll need to refine my search terms or give up. Yep I agree with bombastic bob here, DDG does what I need almost all of the time. It's also a fair indicator that the marketeers are in control of the site, and it'll have little in the way of genuine content anyway. To do so is a conscious design choice from the site's developer, and is done in their interests, and against mine. If I have to unblock some likely looking domains, reload the site, unblock some more, reload, and so on before the content even loads, then this shows that either the site is poorly designed (pulling in scripts from all sorts of places, which in turn try to pull in other scripts when run means you have no real control over their content), or, more likley, deliberately written in such as way so to make people give up and click "allow-all". If I pop down the noscript menu, and I see you're also trying to run scripts from 30 other domains such as, google analytics, facebook, .uk et al I'm going to move along and probably never visit your site again. I'm saying that if you have a site, let's call it xyz.com, if that site has scripts running from it's own domain, and some obvious related domains (say,, .uk, or whatever), those are fine. Now why won't El Reg ever write an article about why major sites still have Google Analytics on them when they can easily do their own analytics themselves? I don't go to their site? Am I a freetard? No, I just believe that the value of their content is $0.00 USD. They check and then tell us that we're running an ad blocker and then refuse to let us see their content. I for one would love to talk to them about the dangers of 'big data' and how Google has a monopoly and will have a monopoly on search.Īgain, sites are getting a clue about adblockers. but I'm not a fanboi, It really helps out in the day job.) The only place Firefox is lacking is on the iPad Pro. My default browser is Firefox and of course being a Mac user, I have Safari. Or for clients who use it and I need to be compatible. I have Chrome only for sites that don't work well w my Firefox, NoScript, AdBloc, uBlock mix.
