Subject: 8 Science-Backed Reasons To Turn Off Your Cell Phone This
Christmas
[An oldie but a goodie]
By
Alena Hall
Throughout 2014, we have watched
digital detox challenges come and go,
and read about the
many health benefits that come along with loosening
our ties to technology.
But somehow, we've still managed to allow
our smartphone addictions to
reach an entirely new level of "OMG." With the Christmas holiday
looming, now is as good a time as any to take one last stab at
unplugging for the year and experience the benefits that just might
convince you to turn off your tech more often in 2015.

Christmas Day
By Sean Keach, The Sun
This Christmas, treat yourself to great WiFi by making sure you're not
making common mistakes.
It's easy to accidentally hamper your WiFi speeds, which could prove
frustrating as you settle down to watch a 4K Netflix movie over the
holiday season.
Households will be filled with new gadgets, including games consoles,
hi-res TVs and top-notch smartphones.
And they'll all be competing for your home internet.
Here's what you need to do.

Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Manifest V3, Google Chrome's soon-to-be definitive basket of changes
to the world of web browser extensions, has been framed by its authors

But we think these changes are a raw deal for users. We've said that
since Manifest V3 was announced, and continue to say so as its
implementation is now imminent. Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before

interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web
browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.
