I disabled cross-site traffic blocking (allowing third parties to see where I have been browsing) and it works fine. I am pretty sure it is that setting. I think something is afoot.They seem determined to see (or allow someone to see) where you've been going. Have you tried the 'browsing in private" feature?

Ive gotten in the habit of using cloud storage for all my files, and its saved me a lot of hassle on several occasions when the laptop capped out for one reason or other. Plus I have access to the files on any device.I heard somewhere that the cloud is like a candy store to the dedicated hackers. Is it so?

It’s the arms race. Sites want that kind of tracing for many reasons (mostly revenue). Nobody really liked being traced that way. So the guys coding sites find new ways to detect you’ve got stuff turned off and refuse to work until you turn it on. Then the browser add-on community finds new ways to hide that it’s turned off. Lather rinse repeat.

That is why I was wondering if it is tied in to an ISP, not global...yet.
I live in a “Blue” state, and Verizon is very Leftist...

That was what came to mind. I didn’t think it was something that Google and my bank did separately (both started being problematic within a few days of each other)
I have been reading about their endeavors to get involved in tracking, ostensibly for the purpose of “protecting” us.

I haven’t had any problems with it, but I wouldn’t store my passwords or bank account numbers in it, unless you encrypt them first.
At the end of the day everything can be hacked including the hard drive in your computer, so it comes down to weighing the risks vs the benefits.

unless you encrypt them first.Then you need a password to unencrypt them; I already have more PWs than I can keep track of. Can't go some places because of forgotten/lost passwords.
