Firefox has a new feature in the fight against tracking

Cookies keep track of your browsing activities and can be useful for remembering login credentials and the contents of your shopping cart. But they can also be used to track you across multiple websites, giving companies a profile of you to target. Firefox introduced an update to fight back, and here's how it works.

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

Help me fix this PC

Q: Following the most recent Windows 10 updates, my desktop started locking up after sitting idle for 30 to 45 minutes. The displays froze, the USB mouse froze, the Bluetooth keyboard froze. The only way to regain control was to do a power cycle reboot. Help!

A: I totally get the frustration, and my inbox is always filled with messages from people like you who are trying to work through annoying tech problems. You can't always wait to talk to me on my show, so I partnered with a company that can be there for you when you need help.

You can get Solve iQ’s expert tools and support for only $9.99 a month — and you can cancel any time. You can call as much as you want, and they're so helpful. It’s the next best thing to having me come to your home! To get started, visit SolveiQ.com/Kim today.


Busting porch pirates

Q: There's been a rash of package thefts in my neighborhood. I'm home all day, but it's easy for someone to slip onto the porch and make a quick getaway. What's the best way to keep an eye on things?

A: I’ve researched all the options, and I trust SimpliSafe to keep an eye on me and my family — and all the packages we order! SimpliSafe monitors 24/7 and you'll get an alert right to your phone if someone approaches. It won't fail if the power goes down, the Wi-Fi is out or intruders smash your keypad. The best part is it's easy to install and use. It's the best out there, plain and simple. 

Go to SimpliSafeKim.com and get a free HD camera, plus free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee.


Slow VPN

Q: Do all VPN’s slow down internet connections? Haven’t tried the one you recommend but mine slows down my connection. Is this normal or am I doing it wrong?

A: The right VPN won't slow you down. That's what I love about ExpressVPN. Most days I just forget it's connected because it doesn't slow me down a bit. If you want the protection of a VPN service without the slowdown, make the switch.

Don't just take my word for it. Get three months free on me when you sign up. Try it out and let me know what you think.
