Felt very very old.

Trouble is that you know what you are going to say half the time. (Thank you Douglas Adams)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
For some stupid (yet quite probably a fantastic bit of coding from experts) reason, I am now unable to see product reviews for items I *may* want to purchase.
My windows defender *spit* updated yesterday evening, which may be the culprit, but I also noticed my uBlock extension had completely disappeared from Vivaldi.
Fast approaching the decision to turn my back on the uncontrollable internet altogether, and return to a 'normal' life

I believe adblocks are not compatible with most chrome browsers now, still working on Firefox and mobile browsers though.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
I don't think the adblocker is actually the reason why I can't see the reviews, that was just another annoyance. Funnily enough I've re-installed uBlock (origin lite) and it seems to be working
I can also see reviews when using the TOR browser . . . which by default tends to block damn near everything
The whole interweb thing seems to be convoluted and screwed in the name of 'security'

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
I find a lot of browser in built security extras clash with other web objects they are not meant to . Brave for example is very fussy but blocks ads better than anyone else. I have found the Idonotcareaboutcookies extension breaks some sites totally.
