(1,024 posts)I use Firefox. The settings that I have on it block all X with the following message:
"X trackers and content blocked.
Your Firefox settings blocked this content from tracking you across sites or being used for ads."
I have the option of allowing it on Democratic Underground but I won't because I want nothing to do with X and I surely don't want to give X the ability to track me across sites nor do I want my info to be used for ads.
I'd love to see the posts that others are finding so entertaining. Any chance you could locate the pics on a website other than X?
