Extension with Chrome?

I've still got Edge with my window 10 but prefer Chrome and it keeps asking me to activate Chrome Extension.

I've read about it but what i've read is that it feeds all info and details from your pc/laptop to others sources.

Just wondering if any one else as it activated and what do they think?​

 

@Gail_68 , you could use Firefox browser instead and also use a search engine other than Google which will help keep you data more private.

 

I use Firefox and Google, I steer clear of Bing. Each night before closing it down I delete all non essential cookies, leaving those which retain passwords.
It seems every site you visit will put a cookie on your laptop.
If you don't regularly clear them you could end up with thousands of them

 

As an alternative to Google I use Duck Duck Go which claims not to track you; as a search engine I find it less good than Google for certain work related things, but generally not bad.

 

Hi Loofah i now have chrome as my default browser but can change it back any time but this Chrome extension does a quick flash up when your computer is fully loaded asking you to activate it, i just press ok and it goes off but i've not actually activated it yet.

 

Hi ricky101 had Firefox ages ago before windows 10 and i prefer chrome but all my settings in chrome are set as private...it's the first thing i do with anything...go straight into settings and sort that out first.

 

Done regular mate like yourself ...i only have Bing search engine with my Kindle fire

Never heard of this one Nigel...actually i laughed at the name

Hi Loofah i might do mate after listening to this video...as i still get the alert come up on my screen to activate it

@Gail_68 you need a 10 year old to sort it out! They would click their way through everything, your device will be useable, efficient and pc!

 

Hi Loki i can sort it mate and soon add stuff but i read on other several parts on the internet...that it sent your info to other sources and that was my main concern

 

?????? @Gail_68 ????????

 

Loki what's that all about mate
