    Anyone else noticed?

    Several times over the last month ad-block plus has been somehow deleted and replaced by one or two ad' add ons? Have to check every time I open Firefox and delete ad ad ons and re- download ad block plus...frickin annoying!

    Adblock Edge has been discontinued but it is still working as I currently used it.

    ^ Chrome is a bloated resource hog. Stay away from that. I use Ublock and disconnect.me. What one doesn't get the other does.

    Never had a problem with the bloated resource hog; my resources are adequate and the hog does its job well...

    Chrome is the most intrusive browser out there.

    I prefer Firefox and have it set up so when I switch it off all my browsing history is deleted too

    Well last time I was chatting with my wife whilst making some internet searches on google, using Google chrome on my windows 8 laptop. A strange pattern began to ensue. The predictive text inputted what I had mentioned before I completed the search. This happened a few times. This led me to the conclusion that the google could be listening.

    ^ you're always being listened too anyways; the best way to deal with it is to just be upfront and have nothing to hide (in plain view), imho... You folks with all the fancy avoidance techniques are just raising all the red flags. I swamp them with nothingness right out in the open...
