I had to set Firefox to sync between the old laptop and this one. I'm still looking for a new browser--one that is not based on Chrome, since I utterly hate that, and the ad blockers for it simply don't filter all the ads out, like the adblocker does for Firefox. And I find I have zero tolerance for ads anymore--they purely piss me off.Heroditus Huxleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049569750742829144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-37997451827118198682021-01-14T16:51:07.405-06:002021-01-14T16:51:07.405-06:00Sounds like a smart move all the way around.Sounds like a smart move all the way around.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529212130092758272.post-45340055074917290392021-01-13T09:25:14.162-06:002021-01-13T09:25:14.162-06:00Okay, tried Brave.
