I keep getting redirected to French sites
Well OK- I am in France at the moment- but it’s a really annoying and way-too-clever-by-far tendency when sites sniff your IP and redirect you to the local version of their site. So when the BBC reported this last week that a new browser that covered your tracks was available, I clicked with interest. A brief read was enough to tell me that this “new browser” did nothing that you couldn’t set up Firefox to do.
Today I read that after some testing this so called browser is little more than an Adware machine to serve content from overture. Big slap on the wrist to the BBC’s Teck section for falling for, and promoting this junk.
Meantime I will wait for a Firefox extension to hide my IP from the clever click dicks
