It may be because my kid has been using her school google account on my computer, I have to jump through hoops to log onto my gmail but I can't seem to log her out no matter what I do, but I wanted to see if it is working for other people before I contact the school.
Thanks, Amanda

ETA - Never mind, older kid removed the account for me and now it is working. I'm going to have to do this every time? Thanks google, jeez.

I recommend using a different browser for book-related stuff. Eg. firefox if they use Chrome and vice versa.

Either that, or give your kids their own user account on that computer. (Then their browser stuff will be separate from yours.)

You could also set your browser to delete cookies upon closing.  That's what I do.  The only downside is I lose cookies I'd rather keep, but such instances are rare, and I'd rather destroy all the cookies.

Also, I just found this extension for Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

I have no idea how well this addon works.  I've never used it before.  YMMV

I seem to recall reading somewhere, though, that Mozilla was going to make that sort of thing a default feature of the browser in a future update.  Not sure.   :icon_think:


ETA: I've installed that addon and tried it out.  It seems to work.  You have to read the instructions and set it up first, but once you do that, it seems to work as advertised.  I created a "Jeff Tanyard" container and assigned the dollar-sign icon to it.  When I open a new tab in this container, it shows it in the URL field.

It takes some getting used to, but I think I might like this addon.  In the past, I've logged into my author Gmail account while listening to music on YouTube in another tab, and it shows me as being logged into my author account on YouTube, something I don't really want because I don't want to accidentally like/dislike something with an errant click under my author name.  Now I can use Gmail in a container tab and not have to worry about my logged-in status encroaching on other tabs.

I don't like Bing (I think it's a Windows thing).
I quite often gives me false warnings about not being able to find net sites.
Including Google for pete's sake.
And of course it urges me to search with Bing.
I just refresh my search bar and Lordy Lordy, Google is found jiffy quick.
I hate Bing and don't trust it.
