I was disappointed in Mozilla’s Firefox recent upgrade, in which they removed the “cookie exceptions” option. I had a whole list of known spyware websites in that box. I’m constantly clicking “remove all cookies” while using the Internet, anyway, so it’s not that big a deal.
However, I now see in my Spyware Doctor that I can type in specific websites for SD to block those sites from placing cookies in my browser, by clicking settings>global action list, and then clicking add and then typing in a specific website. For example, if I want SD to block Google from placing a cookie on my browser (that it would need to track my searches, as has been noted in the news recently), I would type in Google.com.
I hope the Obama Administration doesn’t make my Spyware Doctor a government doctor, because then it wouldn’t be very good. One thing government does very well is destroy everything in its path, like a big, voracious tornado.
