The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Running Chrome in Ubuntu 10.10. Occasionally my browser opens with a line at the bottom showing downloads. I just deleted 27 of them and now have 5 make that 6 more. Every time I read another post I get another download.
    Who what is dar.youknowbest dot com? Why is it necessary to download to my machine?
    I suppose someone knows how to block it but it irritates me that I can't make a move with-out this crap.

    Here's a tidbit.

    Jeff...leave me alone!

    Beautiful, Microsoft and Google have figured out a way to get their "eCommerce" crap onto a Linux machine. Those boys sure keep busy. I really think its time for me to switch to Chrome.

    Been running Adblocker for Firefox for quite a while. Makes things much better.
