The very annoying blue circled filter on IE9

[TG.]

Could someone please tell me if it is possible to permanently disable the very annoying blue circled with blue line going through it filter on IE9, it drives me nuts, sometimes it will turn off when clicked on, but other times it won't, it appears to be when you have more than one browser open, when it's on it sometimes blocks videos like youtube or vimeo, anyone had dealings with this themselves ? thanks in advance

Sounds like a plug in to me. You should be able to disable it by going to your plugin manager.

Ok here is the culprit, so when you click turn off tracking protection, it will only seem to work if you have one browser open, if you open another it won't turn off :nuts:

if you go into options -> safety -> tracking protection.

do you have something like "your personalized list"? right click it and disable. restart IE.

does that work?


p.s. - dont install silly toolbars like google

Horrid bloatware.

Do you have any 3rd party security/filtering software installed? You have a lot of tracking protection lists..

Think i've just sussed it, i have disabled my personal list on there, and it seems to have done it, i just have to switch tracking off now manually, on the sites i don't want it on, and it seems to be staying off

Get rid of all your tracking protection add-ons and leave your personal list disabled.........simples.
