Default Something I've noticed when clearing browsing data

I've noticed that every night when I clear the browsing and cache data on my computer that it rarely clears all the cookies and that usually takes 2-3 repetitions to fully clear them. It's usually the Google sites which generates these cookies and they often remain unless you repeat the browsing clearance 2-3 times. That never seems to happen with MS which clears OK on exit.

MSFT has the best reputation for keeping your information private and not sharing.

Facebook is the worse
Amazon is second worse

Hi number9, I use the Google or MS Explorer browsers but I'm not registered with Google, and never will be, as I only use them for speed etc. MS never appears to be an issue but Google infiltrates whenever.

Try using Ccleaner, very good at clearing such data, also customizeable. Free too.

That same company: Piriform also offers some simple monitoring tools for hardware and a good defragging tool.
