What is a stick computer?

and Slimjet has built-in ad blocking plus I have the AdBlock, Privacy
Badger and Ghostery extensions installed. When you mentioned scripts

I've heard of Adblock because I use it on my browser, but Slimjet is new
to me, and so is Privacy Badger. Seems like I've heard of Ghostery,
once upon a time, but can't remember where.

Here are links. The tiny computer is a bit limited but I like it for what it can do. I have the optional multimedia remote which works well but the buttons are so small I must switch to my 4X reading glasses to see them. I have an older full sized Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse I use instead of the multimedia remote. Privacy Badger is a product of The Electronic Frontier Foundation which leans Liberal but the members have the right ideas about privacy and everyone should read their stuff. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

So, if I use AdBlocker with firefox, do I also need any of these other ones?

I haven't tried them with Firefox but you should give the Slimjet browser a try. It's based on Chrome so the same extensions work. When I change any settings or extensions in Slimjet on this tiny Win 10 stick, it all shows up on my Win 7 laptop running Slimjet. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

I was looking at the Slimjet browser. What do you like about it vs.
Firefox?

I have 6 different web browsers installed on this little stick computer
including Edge and IE11 which came with the Windows10 OS. If something doesn't
work with Slimjet, I'll copy the address and try it in another browser. I stick
with Slimjet most of the time using a proxy. Right now, the proxy shows me to
be in Fairfax County, Virginia even though I'm in Birmingham, Alabamastan. I
should really use a different proxy every day to confuse my enemas. The only
problem with using a proxy is that the bank, Amazon and sometimes my Email
services will issue a security alert to indicate possible hacking. I have a
Win7 laptop that stays a virgin and is only used for online banking, bill
paying, medical related information and business. I help Stinky with his
business and I won't take any chances with the laptop getting infected with
malware. I also use Slimjet on the laptop. This little stick computer is the
"Play" machine while the laptop is the "Work" machine. ヽ(ヅ)ノ


I still have a laptop that is XP and it works just fine. Guess it's just
kind of a back-up for my photos and old files I want to save... some
games, too. I also have a tablet that I use just for games. Still trying
to teach myself the finer points of chess, and like to study the
strategy of backgammon, too. It's kind of fun to play against the
computer because each level has it's own computer strategy that it's
programmed to use, but it only has 5 levels of difficulty!
