Google:-(

Firefox search on W7, gives blocking banner from Google (uk) demanding I tick boxes! Fairly recent occurrence. Is this something I have done?



Bigger annoyance is when I return to the search page I get the banner box with nothing to tick or any way out other than start all over again:-(


I use FF and notice I keep having to click Accept Cookies daily.

They've probably messed around with security or tracking settings.

It's a bit of a PITA, but no more that anything else :)

Maybe associated with my earlier issue with Ebay's website?

Right. Banner is now self clicking:-)

I've not fully explored the re-occurence but certainly better. Ta.

You can go through the options and reject all (or most) of the bollocks. A nuisance indeed.

OTOH Digital Spy is *completely* unusable on IE11 and the latest Firefox. Works with Chrome on Android. Do these people not check these things?

I hardly ever go there since their freeview tech forum withered away, just went for a look and (without going as far as logging on) It was ok in firefox (with the cookies add-on I mentioned)

I think we all know the answer to that one, and since when was the Isle of Man considered a foreign country by Tune in Radio? Brian
