@66cats IDK, call it a hybrid then. Yeah, I tried Debian ISO once on my laptop, the one ISO as it was meant to be, so no proprietary blobs. Got warning right away that firmware should be downloaded for Wi-Fi adapter, so didn't get anywhere. I'm mostly in "whatever, as long as it works" camp today. Source code availability is nice, but eh... Used to be more of a tinkerer, but these days, screw it. It's all such nonsense in the grand scheme of things, systemd vs non-systemd, PulseAudio or no PulseAudio, Blink vs Gecko, XUL vs WebExt etc etc. It's all f***in' politics and I hate politics, I just want a working computer. Is that too much to ask?? Well, I guess got it more or less so not much to complain about from my side. Regarding this forum post editor, it's been months since it last glitched out on me, but when it did, and that must have been couple forum software updates ago, you would click Submit Reply and it seemed it didn't do anything, even though it actually did so if you clicked the button again and refresh the page, you realized you just double posted.

... Well yes, sadly, this has also happened to me, especially when using Serpent 52 to post (only very rarely happens when using KafanMiniBrowser ) ... Well, after reloading the page (and praying during the page reload that whatever you've already written won't be lost ), do NOT immediately re-click the "Submit" button; first open in a new tab the MSFN thread you're posting to and inquire whether your post has indeed been uploaded, despite the browser hang; once you verify this is not the case, only then do click the "Submit" button anew ; FWIW, I had similar issues when using St52 to post comments on GitHub, but now, since MS made GH almost unusable in UXP-based browsers, I use KMB for GH (where that issue almost never manifests itself) ... Kind regards.

Thanks. Bottom line - the conspiracy theory that somebody shut down somebody else's project is just that, a conspiracy theory.

The same logic that makes Supermium closed source (if any part of the project is not open source, it's not open source) should make Linux closed source (its kernel includes [proprietary] binary blobs). I guess those are the only open source Linux distros OTOH, most distros (including all the popular ones, the ones where WiFi & most HW works, ones using the standard, unmodded linux kernel) are proprietary. At least by that logic :\ Something tells me reliance on leaked/reversed MS code is the reason no source has been published for that .dll. Again, could be dead wrong.

Please make sure to take a couple of seconds to perform a simple search before posting. Which part of the quoted text do you disagree with? Be concise. I concede that, like Linux, Supermium contains closed source code. If you feel this makes those projects proprietary, i got nothing.

That is of course possible. In any case, I do not have those problems with uBO‘s logger you have described.

Binaries are back, source issue is clarified: IDA-RE's dll is also closed source.

It all started again 2 days ago, really any video I choose to watch (in Serpent 52.9 with uBlock legacy 1.16.4.30) displays the adblocker disable nag window after a few seconds. I tried it in completely clean profile and I believe it might have to do with a new nag window about they not recognizing my age due to anonymous watching (the best kind) and it then triggers the adblock nag.....perhaps.

Would this mean updating to a newer Firefox version requires for a complete new copy of Firefox setup zip extraction, patching the necessary EXEs with CFF Explorer once again, and get a fresh slate of Firefox before re-importing back the existing profile from the previous Firefox?

Nevertheless, it's still close source. I can tell what to try for those willing to disassemble it, but I shan't give precise instructions, I respect win32's choice to make it close source. A small hint. JetBrain's free .NET Decompiler and Assembly Browser, and off you go, it might help those willing to dig.

More likely to reduce the amount of work they would've to do each time the new version is released. I mean, no need to constantly cut out the unneeded code parts from chromium itself. Basically, the file consists of wisely stubbed/redirected APIs. (a compliment to win32)

Cowl

I've no idea what people are talking about when they're talking about ads on YouTube. Regarding uBO's blacklist, non-issue as far as I'm concerned. If I want ABP's lists, then I'll use ABP. Don't see the point in feeding uBO with a list that contains crapload of ABP specific filters. If something useful is in there, it can be implemented in uBO's lists.

How does that invalidate the open-source components? There are distros out there that do not include binary blobs. Supermium's source code is here, it simply depends on closed-source Win7+ API emulator. Apparently Windows XP is so bad they have to emulate Windows 7+ (APIs) to make it run on XP. And even then it's far cry from the old XP compatible Chrome versions, which were higher quality releases with none of the bugs or deficiencies you see these days.

Months ago, I added the filters you describe to my uBlock Origin My Filters list, but only for it on BNavigator. I noticed the problem months ago, that YouTube would present the adblocker nag overlay despite uBlock Origin Legacy being used with filter lists that would normally filter that content on other browsers. The problem does not occur with any of the other @roytam1 browsers, including Iceape-UXP, which is, like BNavigator, a SeaMonkey derivative. Adding the given filters helps but is not without incontinences (page scrolling breaks (workaround is to put video in fullscreen and then restore) and video stop playing once after a second or few (workaround is to click the video or its play button to manually start playing the video)). Such is rather unfortunate. Out of all rouytam1's browsers, YouTube works best in BNavigator, notwithstanding the herein described issue.

I was trying to place the following text, between quotes, between the words "user" and "prior" of my previous post, but the forum would not allow it. Please treat the post as if it has the quoted information in the indicated place. The quoted information: "(which usually displays as white)"

No. My impression is that the issue is that the uBlock Origin Logger window is not being painted correctly (probably not being painted at all) upon a new instance of its showing, probably despite otherwise being rendered or loaded. While the window shows blank to the user prior to right-clicking the content area or resizing the window using its side grab functionality, its is still interact-able and otherwise works. Upon right-clicking the content area or resizing the window using its side grab functionality, the Logger window is repainted and its contents are visible to the user. Your driver configuration/hardware configuration might not be affected.

I use the flag --max-connections-per-host=15 on my very old and weak hardware, however, with Thorium under Windows XP. So far, it works great.

Someone already tried --max-connections-per-host=4 on weak hardware with Supermium?

Please make sure to take a couple of seconds to perform a simple search before posting. C++ source code file extension is .cc and .cpp, not ".bin", "binary", etc. FAQ for newbies. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1545080/c-code-file-extension-what-is-the-difference-between-cc-and-cpp

No, it needs to be C++ source code.

Yes, a good suggestion to block rumour spreaders.

I have the same problem. Firefox says all installer files from versions 1.0.0.999 and up contain a virus or malware. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and trust that it's a false positive.

@66cats, save your breath. Apply the ignore settings in the forum. They are not perfect but, well, es lo que hay, we say in Argentina.

Supermium source, and [at least] the binary of that .dll is, and always was, publicly available. Not sure how not publishing the source would affect people who wanted to support win32/needed an installer.
