Show Favorites in soft phone

Post by verizondies »

Hi,

Is there any way to disable this part of the softphone, and clear it out. I am not really happy with magic jack going into my favorites section of my browser.

Thanks

Yeah, I never quite got the point of why it's there. It's been so long since I've even paid attention to it, I forgot about it. Maybe some clever person can come up with something useful to insert in your faves so you could access it easily in MJ. Hadn't really thought about it before.

Hendersonmike,

if you will notice the softphone has a little heart on the upper right if you click it , it shows everything you have listed in your favorites in your web browser. Where I live we are having problems right now with our isp's now monitoring every where we go logging it, and selling the info to advertizers. Until we can stop them with a lawsuit they will continue to do it. I would like to be able to take this info out of the mj softphone ( just in case mJ is deciding to do the same thing) and two I really am getting tired of my privacy getting invaded whether I buy from Ebay, Amazon, or Joe blow down the street or visit Men who wear girly dresses, or a site on how to braid your back hair, its no ones business but my own. I didn't see the option to enter this into MJ nor a way to remove it.

Anyone else have any suggestions on how to remove this?

I believe that at the present time, you could use Firefox, run MJ as another user, run it as a service, run it in a virtual machine, or run it on a thin client. MJ could implement changes to make circumvention more difficult, but IMO it should not be too hard to keep your browsing reasonably private.

verizondies,
I too forgot that was there mainly because I have no use for it. If I want to go to my favs, I'm not about to bring up the softphone to click on favs to see my favs list in such a small window when I just click the start button and the full list will come up.
I don't know if making the favs file password protected after the fact would do any good or not.
But I'm not at all concerned about it.
