Ok all you tecno geeks, how do you delete cookies and stuff but save passwords or is that a can't be done.

Maybe.  The best way to deal with passwords is to have a password manager program.  The problem with that is if you want to sync passwords between your smart phone, and laptop or desktop, nearly all the plans require a monthly subscriptions service.

I know for sure Chrome and Firefox will save passwords.  Maybe all the browsers do, IDK for sure.  Since every browser is different, google how do I delete cookies in (firefox, chrome, safari, internet explorer, edge) or what ever your browser is.

Do ad blockers cost money to block the ads? It'd be a hoot if they were ultimately run by the same people who create the ads in the first place.

Maybe.  I frequently see a banner ad at the bottom Youtube advertising an add on to block ads at the bottom of Youtube.  On general principles, I refuse to click on it.

Assuming you have Windows:

Open the Control Panel

Find "Internet Options" and click there.

A box called "Internet Properties" should open.

About 2/3 of the way down you should see something called "browsing history", and a delete button.  Click on that button.  Another "delete browsing history" box should open, with some check boxes that allow you to select what you want to delete.  One of those boxes is for "saved passwords that are automatically filled in when you sign in to a website you've previously visited".  If these are the passwords you are talking about, make sure the box is not checked.

Note that I have Windows 10.  If you have another version, there is probably a similar path.

I just had a look at my AdBlock history. To date, the service has blocked a total of 568,000+ ads! I think everybody should have it!

I use AdBlock on Google Chrome and the only interuptions I get are from websites asking me to turn the AdBlock off, which I can do momentarily if I so choose.

After a few hours on the computor, the blocked ads number in the dozens some days so AdBlock is obviously working, and it's free (although they do ask for donations to support their work).

Dave, thanks for the tip about adblock. I installed it and it is working great.

In chrome there three small dots in the upper right corner of the browser. Click on these three dots then click on 'settings'. In the window that opens scroll down to 'advanced' and click on it. You should see a box labeled 'Privacy and security'. Scroll down the last entry in that box 'clear browsing data'. The next window will give you options on what you would like to delete. 

Hope this helps.

Before this thread gets deleted, thanks! Didn't know i could go to a specific page within and delete 4 weeks, as long as you don't go beyond where you put in your pass word, it gets rid of alot of the junk. By the way knew of the windows one but it will delete passwords when cleared, that gets to be a pain.
