A little unfair don't you think My understanding is that Google removed a setting in Chrome which fed through to the others. However with my settings on the Clipboard in Win 10 and the Brave settings I have it does not seem to apply. But thanks for pointing it out as it was interesting to read the comments in the Ghacks article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 There are programs which will encrypt all your traffic. PGP is one. VPN which do not allow tracking. Nature of the beast - everybody wants your info to add you to mailing lists and Spam you. If it is such a bother - take action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
