Playing Around With Tracking Protection In IE9

Posted by samzenpus on from the accessing-the-defences dept.

While the feature does effectively block ads from Web sites, I'm not yet convinced that giving the users the options to select content to 'Block' or 'Allow' will be that effective."

    When I buy a new car, I'm not going to take it to a garage to check the brakes, you just assume it works.

    Just for your future reference, if you get behind the wheel of a car and plow into a person because you failed to verify the breaks worked properly, it will be You who the law holds responsible, and it will be you in jail under manslaughter charges.

    And personally I hope you live and drive very very far away from me, knowing you would willingly get into a 2 ton dangerous device and not even check first if it can be driven safely.

    You sir are a danger to others around you and a menace to human life.
