  3. I used ghosteryon chrome, and it gave me a nice idea of what brave is blocking, natively. I use multiple email accounts for various purposes. One of which is, when I can easily spot a spoofing email about some financial account,in the account I use for general use. I am using 2 browsers for somewhat the same purpose. Brave and Chrome. The only time I use Firefox these days is to test something for compatability. I appreciate googles support of the Firefox project, alternatives are good, however, I want to firewall general browsing from important stuff, and Firefox does not fit that bill. Neither does chrome. Brave has a shot

The response in the forums was I had an illegal version of Vista. The response on the phone was that it was legal. I returned it to Microsoft and got my money back

    Best answer so far!

  10. Tried Access Series on Calling Video Professor a Scam · · Score: 1

    I tried the Access series to see what their CBT was like and to see if I could recommend the product to others. I thought the actual product was okay. If they cut the price by a factor of 10 and stopped the deceptive crap I think they might have something.
