  34. 📢 Public Service Announcement 📢

    When a website blocks you from right-clicking, hold down the SHIFT key and right-click again. Works in Firefox and Google Chrome.

    And when a website blocks you from copying an image or some text, remember, it's just a website: right-click and choose "Inspect", which opens the source code at the place where you clicked. Then right-click there to copy the "outer HTML" and paste it into a text file, then copy the bits you wanted. Alternatively, open the developer tools, go to the "Network" tab, reload the page, and see all elements – text, images, scripts (there are filters above the table, use them) – load. Mouse over to see them, right-click to copy them.

  37. How-To Geek: Using Incognito Mode? These 7 Entities Can Still Track You. “There’s a common perception that using private browsing modes makes it so no one can see which sites you’re using, or what you do on them, but the truth is that the only place these modes hide anything is on your own computer. All of these other entities can see exactly where you’re spending time online.”
