Thing hangs up constantly on me now. Anyone else having this problem?

i think there is a constant battle going on between those of use who would like to have some small amount of control over our computers and the companies like Google who want cookies on everything and track our every move both for the government and for business.

In recent weeks, I've noticed that most of my traditional efforts to limit cookies and ad trackers results in significantly slower performance no matter what browser I use except for Google Chrome.

Hmmm...

Other extreme, I think, is Facebook. Try using that and limiting cookies and ads. It's almost unusable. They're all up in our data.

Chrome, to prevent the saving of cookies in the first place, and don't have to use 3rd-party software:
- Click the three horizontal bars in the upper right corner.
- Settings
- Show advanced settings
- Under "Privacy", Content Settings
- See "Cookies".

There are several strategies you can use. For example:
1) Block all cookies, and then put the web site names you want to allow cookies under "Exceptions".
2) Allow cookies, but under "Exceptions" list all the web sites you don't want to set cookies.

You can also use the "Images" section to block a lot of annoying advertisement images.

I want to allow all cookies then dump after I leave the page.
There is no such option there.

That happens to me too occasionally, when Firefox needs an update but for some reason cannot auto-update.
