You're using the wrong OS, and Bloomberg is notorious for tracking cookies, cross-site scripting, and all around snoopiness.

I run Linux (KDE Neon) behind two IPSec firewalls (one on my router and another on my laptop), and, I have customized my FireFox 49 browser to block tracking cookies, javascripts, Java applets, 3rd party cookies, and show pics and videos only with permission.  I've also activated 8 pipes and doubled the threading to 64.  The display time on any website is a fraction of a second, and all blocked content is exposed. 

My iPhone, on the other hand, is a walled garden that keeps users inside, in handcuffs, while acting like a two-bit hooker to the rest of the world.

They would be STUPID to change the name!  And the logo is so excellent.  Nimrods!
