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.

Try this - without quotes! Despite what other users/user may tell you. --disable-features=WebUsbDeviceDetection

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.

Knocking on UDP, trying to make connections via QUIC, broadcasting to literally everything and everyone is the default chrome behaviour. The question is, why (if both @win32 and Alexi are trying to implement at least something similar to Ungoogled) didn't cut it out first. Seems like a very logical (and rather simple) first step.

But people, like Dave-H, are grateful these ports exist.

It's because some write they are, but no one gives a link.

No need to add any firewall rules, it's not a routable address. I did not add any specific rules. In Windows 10 Firewall Control, Thorium is restricted to the standard web browser zone as all other browsers, too. The connection to the posted address was not allowed in this zone. Therefore, it was blocked automatically. No more, no less.

@dimo70 You can't disable defender while the system is still running, it does protect it self.
