... Over the course of several previous years, "we" (UXP-users) have witnessed how the platform, in agony, struggled to cope with whatever new Javascript "feature" Google devs came up with, the most notorious of them being the non-polyfillable "operators" ("?.", "??"; read this excellent write-up by @InterLinked); at the time, I was semi-convinced that JS operators such as those would deal the final blow to UXP; thankfully, some talented UXP coders came up with own implementations of these operators, thus UXP was "saved" - but for how long? I'll have to side with NHTPG and, to a good extent, AstroSkipper that the death nail on UXP will be a "new" CSS-related "improvement" (sprinkle with a generous dose of sarcasm here ), implemented in a mixture of CSS code inside/alongside JS code (which seems to be the trend recently ); in the case of UXP, MCP's upstream (Mozilla) have CSS features implemented in Servo/Rust, so MCP can't backport easily, if at all, Mozilla code for these and get away with it; CSS-related UXP issues will keep piling up inside their tracker, with very dim prospect ... Case in point is a CSS bug that has been affecting GitHub in particular for many months now, it was acknowledged exactly one year ago, but so far no activity at all towards a resolution ... This particular "feature" was implemented only in Chromium 99, so it does "invalidate" the popular 360EEv13 and/or KafanMiniBrowser variants on XP/Vista x86; only implemented in Firefox 97, thus putting Mypal68 out of the game, too; if it weren't for the new "additions" (Supermium and its semi-fork Thorium) that appeared at a most opportune time , "we" retro-OS-ers (I just devised this term, ) would have run out of options...

Saying they don't, in any perceptible way, would be a waste of breath, wouldn't it? Right! And the reason is crystal clear. On my machine, they definitely do. Otherwise, I wouldn't write something like that. Besides that, I don't like connections that have not been authorised by me.

Seems to be switched off by default. At least, in my installation for testing.

My single-core laptop goes through 1.8 BILLION clock cycles a second. Take a few, they're small Because it matters not at all? And no, current Thorium and Supermium builds are *not* trying to be "ungoogled." For instance, vanilla Chromium doesn't have functional Google account/Sync(what can be more googled than that?), both Supermium and Thorium do. Think "Googled Chromium" Saying they don't, in any perceptible way, would be a waste of breath, wouldn't it?

In my not-so-humble-opinion - "good". "Turnaround is fair play" - I remember the day when web developers developed for Firefox and did not care about other browsers! Especially nested tables and column widths, at least that's the one that comes to mind. You'd ask for assistance with something in IE (more so than Chrome back in the Firefox "and nobody else" era) on a web site like RyanVM or WinCert (perhaps even MSFN, was not here at the time) and you would have a HUNDRED "switch to Firefox" replies before your IE enquiry was even SEEN by anybody willing to offer assistance. St52 is my secondary (to Ungoogled Chromium v114) and I also keep a NM28 profile updated. So not "dissing" Firefox-based or Mozilla-based or UXP-based, not even sure what to call 'em, lol. I'm just *beside myself* when I recall the thousands upon thousands of "switch to Firefox" posts I've read over the last couple of decades. It's not exactly like Firefox / Mozilla has really "cared" about their userbase (ie, extension support). But hey, maybe Manifest V3 will be Chrome / Chromium shooting itself in the foot. The more choices we have, the better. Tough one, to be honest. Too many Linux distros didn't exactly help that cause. So just how many brower choices is "good" and how many is "bad"? No clue.

Nothing in top post about winning or losing. I certainly haven't read all 74 pages. Is "Team" a repeat? I don't think it's the first. Edit your post with another word.

... Partial implementation inside latest (33.1.0) Pale Moon release:

... But, isn't this the case already for the past, say, 4-5 yrs? Most websites, at least those that matter the most to everyone this day and age (e.g. social media, media portals, government and state agencies sites, bank sites etc.), have been (and will continue to be) optimised to render best on Chrome and "associated" web engines (Firefox included); Moonchild himself has said that : so this "trend" of GH's will continue no matter whether I choose to stay with a UXP-based browser (St52) - and suffer constant distress when using GH "there" - or whether I move on to a Chromium-based browser that renders today's GH satisfactorily ...

unfortunately, there is no english translation, so I cannot test it.

Could it be "WebUsbDeviceDetection"?

I see. There is another way to remove windows defender for sure in running systems - DefenderKiller. Works perfect. JFX, I tested Windows 10 and Windows 11 original with checking defender disable tweak - works perfect.

New Game?

Agreed. A CPU can only do so much per clock cycle.

that is why one has to have done it beforehand.

On my weak machine, these unnecessary connections do have an impact to my CPU and are counterproductive for smoother browsing. So, I am glad to have got rid of them.
