George Steel@amyhoy This is a good thing. For these warnings to be completely accurate, there would need to be a major security hole (of the device fingerprinting variety) in your web browser.
@gtsteel utter nonsense. i logged in with the same browser inside of 30 days.
Philippa Cowderoy@amyhoy It's amazing how many people seem to think "computer we're not sure we recognise" and "new computer" are the same thing
@flippac and it should recognize it, it’s the same browser i used <30 days ago
Stephen Wuebker@amyhoy it’s really the worst part about installing updates. Every website I visit every damn day forgets about the cookies it had to pop up a message about that needed my approval.
@stephen terrible!
the worst thing about THIS is i didn’t update, didn’t switch browsers, and logged in with the exact same setup at the exact same place <30 days ago
Patrizia@stephen @amyhoy there's a browser plugin called "consent-o-matic" that automatically handles most cookie popups (and has a "let us know" button for those on which it doesn't work) by automatically rejecting non-essential cookies.
It supports Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc. - pretty much everything - and makes the web a much nicer place.
Graham Palmer@amyhoy Get this every time I log in to Dropbox - totally agree!
@gpnaturephotos bingo, it was dropbox paper 🤪
yakkoj 🦊@amyhoy this is me every time I sign in to YouTube and then Google spams me with 3 emails too
rg4w@amyhoy I've found that wording annoyingly presumptuous myself. So many circumstances can lead to that condition; why did the team decide that one use case was the only one that could give rise to it?

I bought my laptop in late 2011 and I'm still getting these notifications.

I'm nowhere near there, you haven't quoted the ip address and I suspect I'm not the only person in the world using firefox on a mac.
