I too got that message during the wee hours last night... So you are clearly not alone; nor does it seem to be just a 'Southern Hemisphere' issue...
And like others, the majority of my browsing history, cookies etc gets deleted when I log out - well, everything that is,
except the bloody 'history & browsing data' that goggle automatically etc
steals & saves to further develop its algorithms in order to skew what it will let me see! :cus:
Just as a bit of a rant on the side - for my own personal use, I use
DuckDuckGo &/or
Firefox, both of which
DON'T retain history &/or use or steal data to develop 'algorithms' in order to skew what I get to see on the internet; and I do that cos
I want to see the
all of the info that
I ask for when I search etc, and not
just what some bloody algorithm decides I might like to see or only what it'll let me see!
But there's a bunch of Mod activity & searches on potential members here et al that I use which rely on goggle to work, and I really have no easy way to avoid it for all that, so while I too have Chrome with the browsing data & cookies etc. set to be deleted each time I leave, it still steals all the info it uses to further develop its algorithm - and you should see the crap that '
my Chrome algorithm' comes up with as a result, and how different/biased it is revealed to be if I do a direct comparison with a 'non-algorithm managed' search!! :yikes:
Algorithm's should be banned, along with the browsers/systems that use them to manipulate what & how you get to see info on the internet!
OK, now that I've said all that, rant over - so let's return you to your normal broadcast...
pps: )
