How useless has your browser become?

How useless has your browser become?

With the advent of the latest EU Privacy Law countless websites have retaliated with very aggressive and illegal bully tactics to force users into the surrender of their privacy.

Their tactics are all unintelligently based on the naive assumption that their cookies will exist on your hard disk forever!

Should you clean up your system and blow away all Internet cookies as has become the norm these days (and you’d have to be insane if you don’t), you’ll have to repeat their rigorous cookie policy process all over again to view/access their site!

So let's find out how useless your browser has actually become by clicking on a handful of such aggressive sites.

NB: This is a tiny taste of what’s happening around the world right now as a result of the new EU Privacy Law, so it’s only the tip of the iceberg... and it’s gonna get worse, far worse:

1. The Huffington Post
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/

2. TechCrunch
https://techcrunch.com/

3. PC Gamer
https://www.pcgamer.com/

4. TechRadar
https://www.techradar.com/

5. Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/

6. My Space
https://myspace.com/

You should not be able to access any of these sites unless you’re prepared to go through an outright surrender of your privacy or a laborious selection of which aspects of your privacy you are prepared to abandon... and remember there’s no touching of those cookies or else!

Alternatively, you could sanitize all such criminal websites with The Classic Browser v3.6 due for imminent release, which can automatically enforce EU law and clean up all cookies after each browsing session no problem... for now the choice is yours but soon I suspect you won't even have one! :lol:

Is there a way with your browser to clean up everything except log in passwords?

That’s an old story. All it ever keeps are browser settings, favorites, and passwords.

The entire browsing session is blown away upon exit.
