You want to get shot of most of them. Browser hijackers or adware. They dont look active but you dont want them. Just remove them all apart from Adblock Plus (I prefer Adguard these days). Google Docs online should be ok and I think Start Speed test might be ok but you dont need it. The Application launcher for drive should be ok. Get shot of all the others.

I dont think there is a VPN built into Chrome, you would have to install a third party one and if you want a UK one I dont think there are any free ones but I could be wrong. I still dont know why you need one.
No I don´t need one Barry, I´ve said it time and time again, but this was supposed to be free, well who can ignore a freebee.

I will now go and do as you say and get rid.

No such thing as "free". Well very rarely. Most free software is full of ads or worse or its purpose is to get you to pay for something else or a better version.

My WhatsApp is free 😁 and some of the travel thingies are as well.
I think its owned by Facebook (well META). There are a couple of paid for versions, business and "pay" where you can use it for moving money about and I think and they are on about using it to interface with all kinds of commercial stuff. I guess they get everyone on the platform then they can charge businesses to allow you to transact with them via whatsapp. Summat like that I suspect. They wont be providing it for free for no good commercial reason.

Its not part of Chrome though, it is not a Chrome built in VPN. What you have installed is a third party VPN "Into" Chrome as an extension. There are literally hundreds of these available. The trouble is how do you know what you are installing is safe or any good? thats why I said there is nothing that is completely "free". Browsec apparently is based in Russia and according to this report whilst its relatively "Technically" safe it will retain your browsing history and pass it on to the Russian government. :D


Its described as slow with only four free servers to choose from which is typical of some free VPN services. One of which does happen to be the UK but it wont unlock Netflix apparently.

I think the long and the short of it is if you want to use a VPN, do a bit of research and use a paid for well known one.

We started watching 1899 on Netflix the other day. 3 episodes in and it's pretty incomprehensible to me. We'll persevere though as see if it gets better.

Season 4 of The Bridge and I am struggling so tonight I will miss a few episodes (I`m on episode 2) and go to the last 2 to see what happens with the main characters. I have only stuck it out until now for the language, From series 3 it starte to really go downhill for me, too many characters kept being introduced I got confused who was who and now it`s just a ridiculous plot.
I know I can watch almost anything in German, but this one there was no temptation for me to switch it to English as I have done with other things. :giggle:

Yesterday afternoon we watched a film on Netflix: London Boulevard. It's quite old now but a cracking East End gangster romp with a stellar cast.

I find these tips on what's worth watching very helpful. Thank you all for them.

Has anyone mentioned The Courier, a true story of espionage in the Soviet Union.

Thanks to my Amazon Prime I can watch The Courier I´ll add that to my list Alan.
How strange, on the computer Amazon the film is free, on the Firestick 2.99€, I have started watching it on the computer, Gone onto the TV firestick on the TV and I can just continue watching, no email from Amazon to say I have bought it. I know what to do next time there´s a paid film on there 😁

I also started watching Schindlers list earlier.
