Yes...we all know, as it's fairly old news.
They introduced it back in August 2019.

They admitted that it was an "error" of sorts.
The jumpshot dot com site has been shut down...
No idea exactly what they intend to do with all the info that was gathered though.
Not really the best thing that a free as well as paid, SECURITY program should be doing.
Lots have jumped ship.

I guess it's late, but it just arrived at one of my other forums.
I moved to BitDefender.

Thanks for the tip. I can return to Firefox if necessary. How did you see Waterfox in my phony UA? I'm trying to keep it hidden for my online work.

O. K. guys 'n' gals...
I think that this has gotten way too far off topic.
That includes me as well.

Please....No more random posts.
Thanks..
