1423476 2016-07-21 10:08:00 oh :sleep Another place trying to get their 5 minutes of fame.

All those items they are complaining about can be disabled.( including the Apps)

One that's really laughable - Again frogs not knowing the damn OS options, in one part there they say lack of cookie blocking options.

the lack of cookie blocking options,

Funny in Edge - in the Settings:

7317

Love to know what other options the idiots want ???

1423477 2016-07-21 10:50:00 Another joke in the article:

The company is also criticized for its lack of sufficient security -- such as the four-digit PIN used to protect payment information which does not have a limit on the number of guesses that can be made.

REALLY!! Cards in money machines only have 4 digits. Anyone who has the skill to use a program that could run though all the random numbers it wouldn't matter if it were 10 digits.

HERE's (l33tn3rdz.deviantart.com) a list of all the possible 4 digit combinations - my ( and your) eftpos card number is there - good luck in finding it :p

1423478 2016-07-21 22:02:00 When will France's CNIL go after Android apps for the permissions they they take uneedingly.
Or google.
Or free email that scans all incoming email to collect data
or google street mapping cars that slurped up data
or actual websites themselves that added tracking cookies
or every other browser for allowing tracking cookies
