These are interesting times for online safety and privacy. 

Companies are reading your emails. They're watching what you write, surf and search for. Some others are keeping your most intimate details and text messages and giving 'em to Government agencies who are fighting terror and whatnot... even though you're a law-abiding citizen. 

Well, FIREFOX has had about enough of that. 

The open-source browser backed by MOZILLA has announced that their browser will give you the ability to stop advertisers from snatching your data and whatnot. They'll severely limit what about YOU gets out to the web via cookies and other online data collection nuggets.

Some advertisers are clearly poopypants... but FIREFOX don't care.

Firefox don't give an eff.

Okay this is ridiculous... 

Just moments after we told you earlier about JAMES GANDOLFINI'S PASSING... thanks of course to TMZ's first alert and whatnot, well... this online retail site began "missing" the Sopranos star... 

... while ENCOURAGING YOU TO BUY SOPRANOS BOX SETS AND WHATNOT VIA THEIR SITE. 

You know, so you won't go missing him and all too badly. 

As one Intern John would say, "too soon?" 

Click here. Take a look. Decide. And comment away.

OKAY... WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE EFF IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING... 

But it looks like AMANDA BYNES is having quite the confessional evening right now on TWITTER. 

First off, she "has a birth defect" which is some sort of "webbing" between her eyes. And she's had some surgery to handle it so she can begin her music career. 

Secondly, she likes Waka Flaka. 

Finally... she's having more surgery. And she considers herself a hero. 

This ish be cray. More cray than something which Kanye might say. 

Click here. And pray.
