Enhanced Tracking Protection blocks cookies and storage access from the third-party cookies most typically associated with the type of privacy-harming behavior.

Come, pull up your chairs. Closer. Closer. Good. Now listen closely, we’re here today for one reason: it’s the iPod‘s birthday and I’m going to tell you why it’s the greatest gadget ever. The first version of the device was released on October 23, 2001 – a full 17 years ago. That means if the iPod was born in the UK, it could now drive. It’s old.

Uber has over 45,000 drivers in London, making the company a ubiquitous feature on the city’s streets. To try and mitigate some of the environmental damage caused by its activities, the company has announced an ambitious £200m “Clean Air Plan,” which will see it transition entirely to electric vehicles by 2025.
