Recently in the news, a viral topic is going around and while much focus has been on tracking for the past few years, Ad creators and web admins have had to get clever to devise new ways to make their sites pay for themselves. We get that Web site developers and owners need to make money wherever they can, nothing wrong with ads in general, but too many domains misuse such a scheme and often the ads get compromised in spite of the original creator. There is no honor among thieves, of course there are legitimately vile malvertising sites out there, but for whatever the reasons, tracking is usually not a good thing.  Tracking could potentially lead to companies finding out about you, from the size of your monitor to the color of your shirt, tracking comes in all forms. Lately, many top sites are utilizing scripts to track users. Scripts are really ingenious in that they can load in all browsers and all system setups, barring content blockers. Scripts are more commonly used to make the

I know that every phone is different, I can't say I despise Android phones in their complexities, the way that they can run modern apps written in other formats aside from the archaic symbian systems and java-based proprietary phones. It still doesn't take my eyes away from my old flip or otherwise ancient cellphone collection. The first phone I ever really used outside of a landline was a Nokia "car" phone, I forget the exact details, but all you could do on it was make calls, literally. It didn't pick up in most places where I went, such as out in the sticks, however, it was very good at what it did when it did it. I moved on since then to using prepaid cell devices, there is something about them, a device that uses hardly any memory to handle its several Java written devices and still has absolutely no memory leaks. I often restart it every two or three weeks, but I don't even need to. With Android on the other hand, I have endless issues with them that of

As recently I uncovered, sifting through articles from Ghacks and a few random sources online, I found that Pale Moon’s team of developers are working on a direct Firefox fork. So far, the browser is only a stepping stone on the road to what appears to be Moonchild’s attempt at further advancing Pale Moon and transitioning it into a completely new project. The code was forked at the precise moment when Moonchild felt that it would best culminate with where Firefox is heading, but also where it would leave full XUL and XPCOM support. Pale Moon’s extensions and much of its code has been centered around these two languages since the beginning. The new project’s name is Basilisk, and while not a finished product, it is a milestone for the browser developers. The engine is the same Goanna rendering engine that has been used in Pale Moon since version 26. The look and feel of Basilisk is reminiscent of that of Firefox version 56. The browser has both Windows and Linux versions like
