Stop Using These Websites - issue 379

I use only 3 of these sites - Yahoo (not very often), Adobe (because you can get updates to Flash, Shockwave and Adobe Reader only from their site*) and Amazon (frequently).
*From MajorGeeks site, but it's the same on other sites too

Editor's Note: MajorGeeks is no longer offering the direct download of any Adobe products due to a threat of legal action from Adobe.

Concerning Amazon, I followed the instructions given in the article to turn off my browsing history. On the relevant page it said

Quote:

You're in Control......Your Browsing History is meant to help you keep track of some of the items you've recently viewed, searches you've recently made, and product categories you've recently visited. If you do not enjoy this feature and want to turn it off, simply click Turn Off Browsing History in the box to the left. Turning this feature off will turn it off for anyone who uses your Web browser. If you'd like to re-enable Your Browsing History for your browser, return to this page and click the Turn On Browsing History button that will appear. Because your selection is managed through HTTP cookies, if you delete these cookies or use a different browser, you will have to make this same selection again.

Maybe this doesn't matter if you only ever use one browser and don't delete cookies, but I use 2 or 3 browsers regularly and I do delete cookies; also I have 3 PCs, do I have to change this setting over and over again in various browsers on various PCs? If so, then this is disgraceful and there I was looking forward to receiving a lot fewer rubbish emails from Amazon! :(
