Microsoft will never again sneakily force Windows downloads on users
There have been various controversies with Windows 10, from issues with privacy and telemetry, to ads and forced upgrades. Following a court case, Microsoft has vowed to never force upgrade files onto users again. Windows users in Germany were particularly unimpressed when Microsoft forcibly downloaded many gigabytes of files to upgrade from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 10. Having held out for 18 mo
Opera's desktop browser adds a built-in ad-blocker

Security researcher Chris Vickery found a misconfigured database that exposes the details of no less than 191 million US voters.
