Mozilla Firefax, lol

It's Mozilla Firefox. Are you using a PC or mobile device, which includes tablets? You can use desktop mode on a mobile device in Firefox. This website and others don't have to mobile webage and therefore show as desktop pages without the need to click to change the mode. Facebook for example - app runs all the time and sucks the life out of your battery but worse are the permissions for FB and their Messenger app. You can easily open FB and sign in then add it to your homescreen, however you have to PT it in desktop mode to view messages and it's not easy trying to manage.

I don't know that any of that helped, but in the olden days when I purchased a desktop computer from Best Buy, the tech folks told me use Firefox, which I had never heard of. This was when we had dial up internet. Lawd! Firefox was faster and more secure at the time. Nothing has been secure in a while and I'm using a free VPN for now, but only until can figure out the best permanent VPN without having to replace my router, which I really need to do anyway. It's just complicated and I'm technologically challenged. Firefox does have add ons like Chrome and other browsers. I'm personally sick of Google inserting themselves into everything imaginable. Would anyone be surprised if they did not have a contract with Homeland Security, the DOD, DOJ..... Google and FB, whatcha want to bet vbg

This is a link to download a guide to using Firefox (makeuseof.com is an incredible website for a number of things related to PCs, Android, IOS and has really great free guides):
