[QUOTE="wornish, post: 477584, member: 15434"] Its just the same on a mac. I bought a product called Little Snitch which monitors all the network activity that apps use to get in or out of the system. It asks you once if the site they want to connect to is OK and lets you block it forever or just this time, it costs peanuts but saves lots of junk coming down or up the pipe. You can also set up your browser Safari on the mac to block all cookies or let trusted sites place cookies on your system that remember your user name and password. I regularly clear out cookies I don't want. Especially from tracker sites. Google is the worst offender they try and track everything you do, and I mean everything. Have you noticed that web adverts seem to know what you have been looking at ? That said if you are on Adobe CC you will be amazed how often it links back to adobe even though you are not doing anything. The latest version of LR uses tons of cpu power searching through your photos doing face recognition everytime you load a new picture even if its a landscape ! If you use a twitter app then be aware they use lots of resources. It goes on and on. Its called progress. [/QUOTE]
