Hello mr,

How Ebay got to the top of your "sites not to be touched" list is a

Amazon _should_(1) be close to the top (alongside google, BT, yahoo and
Sky), what with their not paying enough taxes in the UK, poor worker
conditions (if reports are to be believed), etc.

(1)  I still shop via their site because they usually work out cheapest,
especially from Marketplace.


It is not really top of the list, just one of a few that I avoid. Some on our list seem surprised that I won't use FF either. It is a long story so I won't go there, but basically I find their attitude very arrogant. The main point for me about Linux is the many ways we can set it up the way we like it. With FF some of the ways I like it are no longer available.

And there are plenty of other browsers available. I mainly use Palemoon, but also Vivaldi and Waterfox. For me the last one is how FF should be.
