I do not 'know' but I think that its the browsers that are driving a lot of the
system problems. The intense demand from every stinking big company
to know absolutely everything that they can get about anyone that is even
just browsing pages is - - - imo - - - mind boggling.

I would really like if my browser would give absolutely NO information to
a site which I visit - - - not even anything about my system. Do not know
how to go about doing that. - - - - Maybe its time to start using TOR - - -
what say you?
