Epic, another browser i use (there are 2 'privacy browsers' based on chrome, Xombrero is harder core, incredibly slow, insists on loading its makers' homepage and freezes a lot, Epic is super fast and only crashes, as all chrome browers do, 1. at random and 2. for flash, it crashes less than the others) posted this on their blog: "Google asked us to track you, we refused" http://blog.epicbrowser.com/2014/10/google-censored-us-then-insisted-on-tracking-you-we-said-no/ This might explain the google ever-cookie, firefox being on its way out and mozilla skint therefore (i will always prefer firefox but i am a pessimist) (plus, it doesn't crash and jam all the time, except for flash, a nasty invention, which i keep disabled so no problems) NB what i previously posted worked for a bit, then it stopped working...
