[Get Real!]

That's why when you use Google Search from my browser you get the REAL thing... not the gimmick with the white shroud.

So it looks like you’re stuck if you want to use a Google account…

there is nothing wrong with the gimmick.

Anyway, you should make this stuff user configurable.

Can’t… those Google servers are a MASSIVE violation… one of the main reasons I wrote this browser!

The Classic browser way is a different way of life… it’s like a Google detox!

But you can still use the search engine (the good one) which you can’t do in commercial browsers, plus you can use Google sites without logging on.

OK fair enough.

At least you know your market. I can understand why you don't like google.

But the other browsers I mention can also be set up to be a total Google detox to absolutely nothing at all and everything in between. Which is my ideal environment.

To be ultra secure, you also need to turn off location services on your tablets, but the problem with that is that you are basically turning off the entire functionality of your tablet.

I don't think your browser is for me.

I use Google search all the time without logging on - therefore they can't track me.

I also use DDG.

But I like logging into YouTube because I got so many cool channels I like to watch. Plus I don't care if they track me there because it's just fine with me.

Also, you do know that you can delete all the information Google stores about you right?

Incorrect... the white shroud version grabs EVERYTHING and sends it to one of the servers I posted.

It's very hard to do that unless you're technical and even then you'll lose many online settings.

I don't think your browser is for me.

I've been trying to tell you that for a while... you're not a nerd but the typical user that FB, Twitter, and Google want.

Stick to what you are...

It's easy as all hell mate. All you do is go into your Google account and delete everything.

BTW, how on earth can you even live without FB, and Twitter?

In this day and age, the MSM is compromised, so people need to look for information sources that are less traditional and use their brains a bit more.

Your online ecosystem is too sterile mate. And that defeats the purpose of the internet altogether, because there is so much information out there that you are avoiding. It's like cutting off one of your 5 senses.

Twiiter is one of the funniest platforms ever. You can literally communicate and message the POTUS on Twitter and Trump would probably read your comment too.

You are dreaming... everything Google needs is sitting right on your hard disk:

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Google

I don't care about social media.

Nope, I visit alternative places. A different online lifestyle...

Please do explain what could be better than communicating with Donald J Trump? The POTUS of the people.

BTW, I don't think google can access anything at all if you don't want them to. The only thing in that folder is Chrome and I don't use chrome at all.

I use Mozilla, Vivaldi, and Opera with Duck Duck go mostly.

I use Google occasionally and when I do I am not logged in. They need your metadata to track you.

The only thing they can track me on is my YouTube activity.

You can think whatever you want... it doesn't necessarily mean you are correct.

I use Mozilla, Vivaldi, and Opera with Duck Duck go mostly.

And everything Vivaldi needs is also sitting right on your hard disk:

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Vivaldi

It's a Chromium browser so it needs this directory to work. Same as Brave...

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Brave

I guess you are busy downloading now.

You can thank me later mate!

For what? For confusing him that those 3 browsers block adds by default?

They don’t so quit making fools of your selves.

Only the Classic can handle both ads and cookie banners with no ad-ons because it is user-programmable.

Nothing else on the market at the moment is user-programmable.

Did I ever say they do???

Pyro,

download Opera and then see for yourself.

Then, also download Mozilla and Vivaldi and add uBlock to them. Technically not out of the box, but a much better set up overall.

You got nothing to lose from trying them out to see for yourself as you can uninstall later. Get Real is still in a spin and quite confused.

I had to get him to download Opera and Vivaldi a few months ago, which he did. But he hasn't downloaded the latest Mozilla yet unless he just did it on my tip. Mozilla went real bad a couple of years ago but then rolled out their Quantum Edition which is superb. I don't use Chrome. Even though you can configure it to be just as private, I just don't like it.

The reason why I like these 3 browsers are for the following reasons:

1. Mozilla is community based and open sourced with privacy being one of their hallmarks. It is also customizable, fast and stable. Great for browsing around.
2. Vivaldi is the worlds most customizable browser. You can stack tabs, pause tabs which automatically unpause when you open them which is great on resources, and is probably the best looking user interface there is. This is the browser from the original developers of Opera. It also has custom short cuts, quick commands, split screening and multitasking, and mouse gestures.
3. Opera, best browser for watching videos, movies and YouTube. It also has quick commands, mouse gestures, split screening and multitasking, and custom short cuts.

In addition, all 3 browsers above actually have a privacy policy which they stick to because they are companies with staff. You can read it if you want.

Get all 3 a try and ditch Chrome if you know what is good for you.

And I am getting no adds at all on anything and it doesn't break websites like Get Real does with his html inputs which Chrome don't do only because they know it breaks many websites.

Sorry Paphitis, I already have Firefox, Chrome, and Opera updated to the latest version and all of them get me the yellow dots, at where they pop up ads, something like a subtitle box where there's an ad. Probably your add on is actually changing windows settings? I don't know, however my Opera doesn't block ads.
Personally I prefer not to install add ons as most of them are suspicious in containing viruses, the last time I did Firefox was malfunctioning and I couldn't remember what was the last add on I installed. So I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox without add ons.

I like what you said about Vivaldi pausing tabs from loading as I do have a problem with Firefox bending my computer on it's knees after opening many tabs. I will try it, thanks. Does it lose connection to site's where you log in with a password though?? For example suppose you log in to ebay, and you open many tabs do the tabs lose connection to ebay after you pause them?
