Those two companies are currently on my $#!^ list for overbearing, or untested, or invasive programming and policies. *grrrrrr ( Read more... )

Yeah, I find it really aggravating when people try to fix stuff that "ain't broke." Not to say everything should go back to HTML 1.0 but a lot of this stuff that adds bloat and doesn't actually solve any functional or performance issues - just allows for handier invading of your privacy - really should be wrangled in, somehow.

Spot on, buddy!
And it's funny you should mention html... ever since GoogleMail's code changes in June, I've been having to use their old HTML page in order to reply to *most* messages!!
This is because the email customization box that used to appear on the bottom right just appears somewhere in the ether, .. no U.I. in which to send the message!
Luckily I can start a reply and it registers one in Drafts, then I switch to html to complete and send the message(s).

*gently hugs you* breathe in... breathe out... this too shall pass.

I've been finding that I have to use Safari on my iPad to get sites to accept input into fields requiring... input! Some of this is probably because of my ad-blockers on FF, otherwise, who knows? At work I had to switch to Chrome because AdBlocker Ultimate on FF also disabled a lot of input ability. Heh, whenever I have problems with a site I just move around from browser to browser...

Maybe I'm the only person among my contacts here who likes PayPal (if you send this post to DW you may get a reaction from a squirrely squirrel there). I've used them for a decade or more without incident and haven't noticed any restrictions with security. My only problem with PP is that when I'm window shopping the web, I'm more likely to make a bad decision and buy something unnecessary if the site has their payment option!

Thanks for the new, me friend!
I did test it with another purchase a few days ago, and luckily that is still working. Will just have to use their phone assist I guess if I need to check or make changes to the profile.. at least until somebody sues them and they back off of this policy :P

ah Yelp... wow, it has really helped me find good local technicians. I just use my email to sign in though... I don't like that "sign in with FBook" on any site! Seems kinda prying...
