They're probably worried about such settings being abused to scrape or proxy their content. Duckduckgo allows you to enable "infinite scroll", so as a hack you can you can mash or hold down the "end" button or it&#x

As a libertarian on social issues, I think you should be able to use whatever flavor of linux you want -- but Gentoo seems to be for people who really want to get into the nitty gritty :-) For me, I prefer Debian. No ad crap like Ubuntu, de

I am not a Facenbook fan -- I deleted my account in 2016 and when I tried to come back recently and give Zuck a second chance, my account was summarily banned for being "inauthentic" (completely with a link to the policy, which 40
