Henry Rifle Forums

I am glad to see that I can still get on this forum as Microsoft has declared that Marlin Owners is a dangerous site.

I am glad to see that I can still get on this forum as Microsoft has declared that Marlin Owners is a dangerous site.

I suppose they didn't offer any explanation for this.

Just a generic explanation. MarlinOwners site has random ads, maybe the site got flagged for a 3rd party misleading ad. MS Edge I think also snoops for threatening content. Could be a poster there was spouting off in a post that Edge detected as threatening.

By the way, our Henry forum gets flagged as having inappropriate content at one of the local hospitals. I was using their WiFi in their waiting room while waiting for my wife to have some testing completed. The forum was blocked and I had to use my cell phone WiFi/Cellular hot spot function to access the forum.

As far as Microsoft' I want nothing to do with them. Once you go Mac you will never go back.

The same thing happened to me when I was waiting for Mary outside a Staples store. I couldn't use their internet to get on here. Oh well, it's their free wifi, so they can choose what goes on it like I can choose where to shop.

"Inappropriate content" reasons for blocking a site are usually cover for some PC agenda. It's actually nothing more than censorship.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
― C.S. Lewis

I actually don't get any warnings over there, but I like some of the comments:

-"They're just jealous 'cause we have guns and they don't."-

(And I hope it's OK to say this one on here):

-"Fellows, no one seems to have considered that as Artificial Intelligence (AI) gains more popularity, that it is being incorporated into more everyday uses. It isn't too far off-center to believe that the leftists would incorporate AI into most of their antigun efforts. We will continue to see more things like this as AI becomes more prevalent."-

I've been on MAC. It was Ok for web use, but I hated using it for non-web functions. I gave it to my daughter who loves it.

There are browser alternatives to MS Edge. So far Firefox and Google Chrome haven't flagged the MarlinOwners site.

MS promotes their AI features of Edge. Default install of Edge in Windows 11, the AI stuff is in your face with their AI sidebar and other annoying features. Much of it can be shut off or hidden. Still I rarely use it. I predominately use Firefox in incognito mode with an AdBlock extension. My fallback browser is Chrome incognito mode.

The truth is the enemy of the state these days it seems, so big tech exists to suppress it.

I agree 100%, but couldn't like like the post, but I do agree.

Thanks for the idea Mags!

For those who like using Edge, try turning off Smart Screen:

I sometimes think it's a little dangerous.. One of you guys posts a range report, or a picture of a new acquisition, and I suddenly remember THAT is on my bucket list. (Or should be.). A little drool appears in the corner of my mouth, my eyes become a bit unfocused as I daydream about MY range trips when I get one. I open the cabinet and search for those back issues of Handgunner, Guns, Shooting Times, or Guns and Ammo with the cover stories of that exact gun...

Miss T comes through the living room and I'm drooling amid a pile of old gun mags in the living room floor with that 1,000 yard stare. She says, "I don't know where you'll fit another safe..." and keeps walking.

Yup. It can be a bit dangerous... I love it.
