@blobfrog I agree.#Microsoft seem desperate to claw back as much as they can from #Google #Chrome.I don't like browers that are connected with large IT companies.If nothing else they spy on everything you do (in spite what they say), are more vulnerable to attack, and failure (take Twitter as an example).I prefer #Firefox.

@CliffWade @poloraticw I had 3 such accounts follow me overnight last night. I blocked them all.Another was flagged a couple of hours ago by my instance.I appreciate that I could change my settings so that only those I approve can follow me, but don't wish to at this stage.It creates an extra level of complexity for those who legitimately wish to follow me, and prolongs the process.

@stux Looks wonderful.Warm and sunny. Unlike England - cold, wet and miserable.I'd love to emigrate, but don't have a clue where to even begin.

@itnewsbot I wonder how he engineered that one?Probably made his the only account that could be followed, or that appeared at the top of the "Recommended" list.#Cynical

@itnewsbot Another nail in the coffin for #Twitter as others pull away.

@itnewsbot I've never used even one of them. All totally unnecessary for life. They only add to the stress of being always connected, and to security concerns.#China #Chinese #Apps #TikTok #CutCap #Shein #Temu #IT #MobilePhone #CellPhone #Apptopia #Security #Stress #MentalHealth

@grammargirl You have to laugh when you look back now on such things.

@stux Totally agree, especially as they wouldn't go along with the rules that they ought to have followed.

@itnewsbot Motorists could save money, and cut down on pollution in an even better way ... by leaving their car at home for journeys shorter than 5 miles.

@clive Not just the number of vehicles causing jams and gridlock. It's the size of them too.

@Radical_EgoCom Hey, hang on a minute. WTF.This guy has been accused of a crime that he never committed, and now he's being asked to pay for the privilege of being isolated from his loved ones in the prison system.Surely it should be those that incorrectly banged him up who should be paying, and also paying damages to him for the life-long inconvenience he'll suffer as a result.

@Wolven And to think that Google #Chrome has for many a moon been the number 1 #browser. This can only spell trouble, and one would hope a large-scale move away from Chrome.Turning off all ads may work in the short-term. How long before this option malfunctions or is removed entirely.Will users move away to #Edge or #Firefox or #Safari, or stick with #Chrome as they like it?#Chrome #Browser

@foone Couldn't agree more.When something goes wrong, for whatever reason, it takes out a plethora of sites, and causes problems in many different ways.No matter how attractive it may seem in terms of cost-saving or efficiency, it opens the door to hackers or power outages, etc, to cause mayhem as there's a sngle point of failure.Moral of the story: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
