    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Well, I right-click and "open in new window" on chrome - and had some fantastic wins so either they don't know I'm entering from here, or they don't care :)
    Thanks to all posters :A
  • LM - Thanks for the helpful info. I use ff and I know how to access about:config could you tell me which setting I need to change so websites can't trace us coming from mse? Thank you! Hannah

    Sure. :)

    In the long search bar, type network.http.sendRefererHeader (or copy and paste it :p) and then right click, select "modify" and change the value to 0.

    :D

  • Chrome has the 'Incognito window' option when you right-click a link so I use that - however I'm not sure if it stops companies finding out where you've come from, or if it's more designed for privacy on shared computers?

    Is 'right click and open in new window' the same thing as copy and pasting?

    Ooo really? I wasn't sure if it would work with the TAB etc pages but I guess if they block access because of the referrer header then it makes sense that they would work if they couldn't see where a user was coming from. :D
