No longer getting alerts

Judaline — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 20:09:25 GMT

........letting me know someone just mentioned/hearted me? Is that over?

Another thing-when I want to reply to someon in a post and I hit the @ key, I used to get the person I'm addressing first choice. Now, they're all jumbled. That poster is among them somewhere.

There've been some changes made~

I still get alerts. No jumble on the other.

I'm not clearing my cookies. I never have in the years I've been on the computer. I'd like to get off Google chrome but I really don't know how.

The Mod is correct. Clearing your cookies is essential. I clear mine once or twice a month.

Firefox is another browser you can download for free, but unfortunately
you won't get away from Google.

If you don't want to clear your cookies, that's fine too. But you'll get a slow browser that does funky things.

@Judaline Keep doing what you're doing and you'll continue to have what you've got. Computer systems are ever evolving.

Nah, QVC's the only website I have trouble with. At least monthly.

@Judaline Nobody else is reporting having problems getting notifications. The problem is on your end.

I'm with the others - clear your cache and cookies. I do it every day.

@sugar plum "Google" is a search engine. One of many!

You can get away from it.

@Mz iMac

I understand that Google is a search engine but also Gmail, apps, etc. 🙂 For those of use who are less fortunate and unable to afford the exorbitant prices Apple charges, we use cheaper Android products. And no, I don't mean the high-end Samsung devices. Thus we have to contend with Google.

For those interested, some of the ways to get away from Google are:

* Switch Search Engines
* Stop Using the Chrome Browser ...which is why I recommended Firefox
* Delete your Gmail account
* Dump Android
* Delete all Google apps from your iPhone
* Purge other Google hardware
* Don't use Waze or Nest Products

I rebooted so we'll see. I get the number of notifications I have. It's the alert that's missing. It's not the end of the world. I'll survive. Just really wanted to see if anyone had the same problem-o. I'm surmising they don't! You may be right.

I don't get alerts (notifications) all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's how Q's systems work.

If you don't clear your history, cookies, and cache on a regular basis, you have a huge number of people, companies, advertisers, etc etc, tracking every move made on your computer. It's basic computer knowledge.

It also puts your contacts at risk since many scams get those lists when tracking you.

I clear all of mine every week or two.

Scammers, advertisers, viruses, and companies love it when they can track you.

It's easy to get away from google. Most computers offer choices in their settings. Or you can download another search engine and use it.
