Re: Head Here Why would I want to go to the trouble of running my own DHCP server when all Linksy routers have the feature I need? You are not making sense.
I avoid Google. I have never looked at Google store until your link. Yes, Google tracks EVERYONE whether or not they have ever bought anything from them. Their business is to spy on users. I avoid them.
Amazon should not track me either. I have bought from them ONE TIME in the 13 years I have had a computer (it was my Linksy router back in 2003). If I had a BUSINESS relationship with Amazon and was logged into Amazon then, yes, I can see them tracking me. But I can't login to Amazon even if I wished. Their image server uses GoDaddy cert and I have GoDaddy disabled in Fx. Fx cannot handle properly letting me make an exception for the GoDaddy cert for the Amazon image server because Amazon ALSO uses Verisign as their main cert. The GoDaddy cert I never get a chance to tell Fx to allow it because of the crazy mismatch of certs there. So, I can't login if I wanted to. Opera has the same problem there although I think I can work around it in Opera if I ever want to login to Amazon. Anyhow, I see no reason why Amazon should track me when I am not logged in but they do. Amazon tracks across MANY, MANY websites even when you are not logged in. Just run Collusion to see.

| Please do the world a favor and don't complain when you cannot get things to work on the Internet. Your very paranoia prevents things from working. You have every right to not want to do business with these companies, but they also have every right to not do business with you.
out of sheer curiousity, what do you mean by "Collusion"? I have never heard of that software. |

kudos:4 | You do the world a favor please and stop complaining about my not liking Netgear routers.  How you leaped from Netgear routers not having the basic ability to set the DHCP lease time to my complaining about how I "cannot get things to work on the internet" is a gigantic leap of nonsense on your part. The result is drivel from you that I am sure the world would rather not have to endure.
