Sorry, I had to dash out ...

I didn't bother with the settings as I was going from Windows and Firefox to Mac and Safari. My Compaq died.
I have anything I need (photos etc.) saved to a portable hard drive ... yes. Bookmarks are no biggie for me these days. I know where to find most things I would need. I've procrastinated long enough. I need to upgrade this MacBook anyway but hadn't found the time to do it all.

In the meantime I was thinking I'd found a simple cure to the Google profiling and ads, but I see there's more needed before I get that.

Thanks for all the extra info.. It's appreciated. :)

P.S. Nice Kiwi, Kiwi! ;)

For general interest if anyone wants to know how to back up browser profiles..

Profile backup info - Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird products
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup

How to Backup and Restore Entire Google Chrome Setting

If you use other browsers just do a search for "how to back up (browser name) profile"

Just so you know, this actually works despite clearing cache and cookies. It's stopped the "interest based" ads. My settings are still on 'opt out'.

I find the ads funny. Currently every one I get is for Melbourne City FCs next game on the 28th as the owner also owns Manchester City FC, my Club, and I now follow all the Subsidiaries. Think I'll pop on a flight just to catch the game - nothing like Targeted Advertising, eh?

Dave.

Haha I photograph Melbourne City FC :) I want to go to the EPL so bad!!

Cheers Manchester for funding our league, it's improved heaps since some of the international clubs got involved! =)

Cheers for the link BTW .. I never knew it existed.

PhireX,

We also own the new New York City FC. The City Brand is going Global simply because Sheik Mansoor puts his money where his Chairmen's mouths are. All he is interested in is success across the World.

Football Development in 6 Continents.

Dave.
