All, Recently, I was shopping on Amazon for some N bulkhead connectors. Going other places on the web such as Fox News, ads kept popping up trying to sell me N connectors! Everywhere I went were N connectors. And NO, it wasn’t God telling me that we should do away with PL-259s <grin>.
Every day we are tracked and monitored by commercial entities on the web. They have a profile of each of us and they sell this information for profit. Besides this, all of the tracking systems slow down the browsing experience because they use bandwidth. We can drastically reduce tracking systems using 2 browser plugins: AdBlock. This blocks most adware. Pandora will complain as will other sites, but many sites with adware also have viruses for free download. You can turn it off if you need to on a site-by-site basis. Disconnect.Me - (www.disconnect.me) This blocks trackers. It’s donation ware and I’m going to donate a bit to them for the free version. As I write this, in my browser’s window I have Pandora playing. At this moment 41 ads have been blocked and 31 trackers. Sometimes I go to a site where I get a “canvas” warning. This is when the site is monitoring where your mouse moves on the screen! Like turning on the filter for CW, the noise is reduced! Pass it on. 73!
