Your problem is assuming there is any privacy in anything you do online, through a browser or however.  If you just accept that undeniable truth, then you can decide how you want to proceed.  Become Amish or just live with some degree of intrusion according to your preferences. There is

Chrome and Edge are now effectively the same. Edge is just a Microsoft veneer over Chrome internals. Is your Firefox up to date? It's not any "older" than Chrome, in the sense that both are actively developed and updated. I have found that some Google sites such as Docs and gMail do seem

I've got some ad blocker extensions for FF, but that's it. The issue is that some websites just never load properly. I'm not geek enough to explain it, but I suspect that newer browsers like Chrome and Edge can do more tricks and tips, and some websites are written to use those features, and

We've been using Brave for a couple of years now. There are issues with a few sites, but not many. Mostly with bank sites that want to "remember" you - having to answer the security questions over and over again. On Thu, Jul 8, 2021 at 3:12 PM Meade Dillon via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>

Agree on the windows, no switches on the center console. Can't see the climate controls well in any of the pics but I think that's an AC line crossing in front of the valve cover under the hood. Looks like it has a schrader valve with a green cap. Whether it works is another question. Data

Grey market import, VIN is 123.190, so non-turbo motor. Too bad it is also an automatic. Yes, smaller euro-spec bumpers both front and rear. Crank windows front and back I think? Probably a manual sunroof too. Looks like no AC compressor under the hood? No AC may be exactly why the car is
