Have just uninstalled 'Adblock Plus' and installed 'uBlock Origin' as an alternative ad-blocker.

Why?

Well, Adblock Plus is a well known 'resource hogger' and can slow down your browser (Chrome as the default in my case). Also, some adverts are allowed through - by those companies who have paid AdblockPlus for the priviledge.

Have a read about uBlock Origin in the link above.

Unbreakable, flexible smartphone screen........
https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-samsung-foldable/samsung-display-says-unbreakable-flexible-screen-passes-u-s-safety-test-idUKKBN1KH09N?il=0

I've recently bought a '0.3mm thick glass screen protector' from an Ebay seller to protect the surface of my cell phone. Price: £1.47 for 2, postage free.

Normally, flexible 'plastic' screen protectors are the very devil to apply to the phone screen. I find with these glass ones it's an utter doddle to apply one to the screen in a perfect manner.

They are bit fragile though, before you get one fixed. Being made of glass at only 0.3mm thick, you do have to handle them carefully. Once fixed = perfect!
