I'm glad someone told Crofty that it's not pronounced Port-o-gal, that was just weird!!

That is likely the cause. I block 'tracking' and will continue to do so. Oh well... Thanks for the tip! Here's the deal. Chrome and Edge are both closed source software. That means that even if you set all their privacy controls to max, use vpn, Microsoft and Google are still collecting data off you and you have no way of knowing what is gathered or how it is being used. Firefox, while open source so what they do can be seen, in it's basic form is still insecure . There are add-ons you can use to beef it up but you are still wide open to Boris and all his brothers who collect data. You ain't the invisible man.

For me I didn't care what Google sees I cared what my own ISP sees when I go to 'certain' sites, they don't like them so block them but Google could care less. I haven't been to those sites in awhile, NO they aren't THAT kind of sites, so haven't used the VPN stuff for awhile though I do still have one.

You ain't the invisible man. I am using Firefox now and I like it!
P.S. I sure do feel invisible at times. And 'socially distant' too!

Well, it is clear that the purveyors of 'spam' are getting my email address and demographic data from somewhere! ...like my ISP, and my cellphone service provider?

I have a couple of email addresses I use for things like my home when I want quotes from a contractor and also use one if I just need to give someone an away email address I won't ever check. I only check it when I talk to another contractor so all the spam just builds up and I delete it in bulk. Gmail let's you create multiple addresses as does AOL, yes they are still around and people use them. I have one I pay for that I only give out to certain people or things and everything else it gets I mark as spam and they do the same hting with them from then on. I use Windows so have 2 or 3 with them too but only use them for MS crap.
I made calls for a political campaign this year, my neighbor roped me in, and about 10% of the people I called ended up being businesses that had no clue who the person I was calling was, a few were bars and pizza places. I quit making the calls a couple months ago because of it. Evidently the person I was trying to call had been there and gotten the number and gave it as their home number.

I'm surprised that the GOAT isn't much, much faster than Bottas.

what do they drink in portugal? :-) C'mon OGR... Surely you remember Mateus Rose (Product of Portugal)...? It was quite popular in the mid 60's...
(I realize this is off-topic, but who really gives a shit about F1 any more anyway...?)

The green bottle balanced quite nicely on the gutter curbs.
