  • Well this was a bit freaky! Not looked at any battery websites so wondering what sort of cookies LinkedIn is working too.

    Nothing on LFGSS would do this.

    But if you followed a single link off of LFGSS to anything that provides context, and if you keep all your browsing in one browser... just assume that you already have a Facebook cookie and that so does every other site and it's Facebook that put this together.

    My advice remains:

    • Google stuff (gmail, drive, etc) in Chrome, with 1 or 2 sites you absolutely trust (for me that is LFGSS) and get into the habit of copying links and opening them in Firefox
    • Facebook never
    • Browse the web with Firefox with NoScript installed and permanently in private browsing
