I use Microsoft "Edge" for my browser. I did a Craig's List search in the heavy equipment section for an attachment for my excavator. Son of a
gun....I got banner ads on this site!
I apologize for my part in hijacking this thread.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

As it happens, Microsoft Edge is "Chromium" under the hood, an open source browser developed and maintained by... (drumroll) Google.

pauldavid - thank you for adding to this query! I do not have a gmail address .. I have a business-related reason for wanting to understand the
technology of this - it is not so that I/we can utilize it either.
If anyone around here is tech-savvy and can explain I would greatly appreciate this! Lori

You can manage your cookies. I haven't done this in years - when I was browsing online at work and would periodically review and delete cookies. I
believe searches capture your IP address and then they share perceived "interests" for revenue. Lots of info about this online.

I know this thread has gotten way off topic, but thought I would mention that there is a guy named Rodney Habib who presents a lot of interesting info
on dog longevity and what causes them to live shorter lives than what they could. Essentially what we feed them and poison them with (systemic flea
and tick medications like FrontLine).
He cites scientific studies to back up his claims.
He does have products he sells, like his book "The Forever Dog", but not dog food- he in fact gives you recipes to make your own dog food.
In one of his videos he interviews a guy who has won the Guiness Book of World Records twice for having the oldest dogs on record. His dogs have lived
to be about 30 years old and are still walking around and doing dog stuff in their old age. He lives in the countryside and his dogs have never been
fed commercial dog food.
I used to cook for my dog when she was young, but got out of the habit. I would go to the butcher shop and get a beef heart, which I found was the
least disgusting organ meat to deal with, throw half in the freezer, chop up the other half and cook it with brown rice, mix in some good olive oil
and other stuff. I'd then divide it up in meal portions and freeze it, so it wasn't a big daily chore. I wish now I had continued feeding her real
food- she died at the age of 12- had a huge cancerous tumor in her spleen that had spread to her liver.
