  1. we are talking about ADB plus right ? if you have never experienced that it's because you only visit a few internet sites everybody else in this forum knows that in some sites you are bound to disable adblock while other sites just show a warning message and let you click the ''accept'' button to conitue using it with adblock enabled.

  3. @Nikitastepanov Rather than posting a whole series of new threads, please learn to use the search function of this forum and spend some time reading through the many informative threads that already exist. (See "Important/Sticikified Topics") These will answer most of your questions. Don't expect people to do all of your work for you. These two specific questions are both answered by updates created by rloew, who recently passed away. You can find links to his software here.

  4. Siria: I use Paragon Partition Manager 5.6, package vs 6.0, I think it is free I got mine from a magazine, are you sure you do not understand this https://msfn.org/board/topic/180571-hd-ac97-audio-beyond-the-137gb128gib-barrier/?do=findComment&comment=1174759 .The Win98 tools should work when KEX set disabled on the Exe. Programs are launched under Explorer.exe and if KEX is unset on the program then the program is launched under what setting Explorer has. If Explorer is set disabled, (I have not tried this setting) then the programs should launch KEX disabled. I run Explorer with legacy base enhancements at the moment, if the programs were 16 bit then try to disable their implicit 32 bit load modules IMO.

  6. Though a faithful uB0 user since its infancy, I don't consider myself an authority on it; besides, many other people here use it as their main adblocker, this is an open/public forum, everyone else (besides me) is invited to chime in and give a helping hand to those that might need it... My dear friend (and this is not meant strictly at you ), I, as much as the rest of the members here trying to offer solutions to other people's predicaments, post on a voluntary basis and to the extent other personal engagements (RL and digital one!) permit ; I'm not running a helpdesk service here, please acknowledge that, people ; thank you all in advance! Which browser is this happening on? I have to guess by a process of elimination, why are you being stingy in providing more details? FWIW, recent St52 builds do not connect any more on AMO to check for extension updates (and uB0 is not present in http://addons.basilisk-browser.org/ that is being checked); if one is at version 1.17.4[WE], then export all its current settings to a file, uninstall it, restart the browser and then install the latest legacy version from GitHub (1.16.4.16); import back your settings from the previously stored file... As for FxESR 52 and St55, these two browsers do still check for installed extensions updates on AMO; it is unfortunate that both the legacy and WE versions of uB0 have the same extension ID, so the XUL version gets updated automatically to the compatible WE iteration of it... ; but this is a known issue in these forums , it has been reported and described in the previous thread and solutions offered by several people, including both yours truly and @Mathwiz ... If you want to stick with 1.17.4[WE], then, for the WP site to work, apply the "fix" I already posted some posts above (which you appear to have disregarded : enable service workers! ) If you want to revert to the XUL (legacy) version of uB0, do as instructed for St52 - but make sure to first install the companion extension offered by @JustOff (a member of MCP and the Waterfox team): https://github.com/JustOff/ublock0-updater/releases/tag/1.6.9 This extension accomplishes two things: 1. Blocks update checks on AMO, thus preventing the unwanted update to the WE version 2. Directs update checks on the GitHub repo of the legacy version, making sure you get the latest legacy version; GitHub have a tendency of messing with this addon (by changing GitHub pages' source code ), so make sure you have that addon at its latest version, to be able to get the latest version of uB0-legacy. Then, for the WP site to work, you don't have to touch the service workers browser pref, the legacy version works out of the box! ADVICE to all: Your browser does have a bookmark feature, please use it to bookmark this post or any other one in this (long) thread you feel you might revisit later... My experience, based on using uB0 for many years, is that no adblocker is immune to detection, especially in recent years when advertisers and independent companies have developed dedicated anti-adblock solutions that are sold to webmasters ; it's a cat and mouse game really; uB0 offers an Adblock Warning Removal native filter list that you should enable, but, sadly, it's not enough Several other specialised adblockers have been created to combat the recent anti-adblock scripts (e.g. Nano Defender), but sadly, these come only as versions compatible with latest Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome...

  8. Don't believe everything you read. Almost all Internet logins today are TLS-encrypted and all TLS sessions are end-to-end encrypted; no one in between has unencrypted access to the contents, unless they've managed to compromise the servers and steal their private keys. (And even that only works until the certificate is renewed in a year or two.) You can do man-in-the-middle attacks, but unless the client software doesn't properly verify the server's certificate, the user will just get an error message. They may be able to bypass, but security experts and paranoid types are gonna squeal. Some of the Goog's Android software doesn't do that verification (hence the ability to spy on your phone while it spies on you) but pretty much every Web browser does. Corporations who censor their employees' Internet access (as most do) have to install special trusted certificates on all their PCs to get around this. It's good to be a bit paranoid in our modern world, but don't let your paranoia override your common sense. Almost privacy leaks today come from spyware, especially on smart phones, but also PC software, including - unfortunately - Avast. (Despite Avast's efforts to anonymize the data they sell, they probably have underestimated the Goog's ability to match a user's "fingerprint" to the copious databases collected by Android smart phones.)

  10. Avast: yes of course it's disgusting, but don't they all sell our complete life profiles, long since?? Lying and selling people is the normal state today, being honest and human friendly has become an almost fiction like exception. Especially Google/FB/MS/etc. If I remember correctly, Google meanwhile is worth 1.000.000.000.000 dollars, that doesn't come from nothing. Or was it FB? No, guess Google... But not much difference anyway. Perhaps also Cloudflare, who knows?? Have read somewhere that half the global internet traffic is meanwhile traveling through their servers, and that they have full unencrypted access to everything, incl. passwords. What a goldmine... Which reminds me that Trump changed the US laws to allow all internet providers to sell their own customers data for money, to do what they want with them. And that he also changed the laws to allow them to filter access to websites for their customers. They get to see now what their providers want them to see. And of course, most definitely all Android Phones are just pure bugging devices, wiretaps, active 24h a day and 365 days per year. Whatever other functions the devices may have is merely the bait to lure the prey into using it. And it doesn't help to switch them off, considering their purpose they can happily switch themselves on again whenever they wish, and switch on the microphone to listen a bit, and take secretly photos and movies, to send home. All with the supposed "permission" of the owners of course (or they couldn't use them at all). The only reliable way to prevent secret remote access is to remove the battery. But of course, those little escapes must be prevented, people must by spied 100% of the time, therefore our bugging devices must not contain removable batteries anymore. And of course, it's also better to trash them frequently, after 1-2 years, to be replaced with newer devices with yet better spying technology. Not to forget more profit by selling lots more devices. There was that absolutely incredible report about a year ago, how a technical journalist used a man-in-the-middle device to catch all the data his Android phone was "phoning home", after a trip into the city with his phone in flightmode. Obviously, that doesn't help at all. As soon as he let it go online again, Google was sucking up all the accumulated full spy data it had just temporarily stored inside, during the flightmode. It had been clear since years that they spy on us every second, but the real amount was still breathtaking. Incredibly detailed, every step and movement, pre-analyzed by AI already, including when he "walked by foot" or "left the car" etc And almost all Android apps nowadays too, chock full with trackers, often up to 10 or more! Of course we all know about those torchlight apps, needing access to contacts and internet, but that's only the tip of the tip of the iceberg. As example just a little collection, of email apps: https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/network_emailapps It's not by coincidence that Google makes such a bitter war against all smartphone OWNERS who DARE to try and escape a bit the 100% spying and selling. Google has full control of Android and can do what it wants with it, and that includes forcing manufacturers to also do what Google wants. Like when a few years ago their hidden permission manager (AppOps) was discovered in the system, and companies like Huawai dared to make it visible to users, Google simply forced them to REMOVE it again. And when they finally did include a permission manager in stock Android, it was just a lie. They made sure at the same time that ALL apps then got full access to all networks, incl. mobile data and bluetooth etc., declaring this permission as completely "normal", not dangerous. And users could do nothing against it, that info was hidden from them. This makes perfect sense of course, the job of bugging devices is to spy as much as possible. And secretly, Google gave ALL apps even full access to all network logs, containing the full traffic data of all other apps too. Or also, at some point, continuing to make the permission system as useless and deceiving as possible, Google stopped showing users all permissions at installation time. From then on, they only got to see a few harmless permissions to confirm, but afterwards all apps could happily update themselves and pull lots more permissions, now without any notice anymore. Or, of course SDcards are evil, allowing users too easily to exchange lots of data with their home computers. How dare they trying to rob even a bit of their personal data from Google! That must not be allowed, they must be made to upload just about everything onto cloud servers first, if they want to exchange files with their own other devices. So, lets try to abolish SDcards, and lets declare them completely out of fashion. And many followed, but not all. Some manufacturers still allowed users to have an SD-slot. So Google had to find another solution. Why, quite simple: just make it impossible to write and read it, let's block it by firmware! If absolutely must be, allow to store photos and videos, but nothing else. Especially not cross-access, for example to open a text file with a free editor, or edit an image with a free editor etc. And most of all, bugging devices must of course make sure that their OWNER can't get any access to system files, for example daring to try and block some native trackers and trojans inside. So let's lock the phones OS down completely, out of factory. No chance for owners to get root access anymore, no chance to unlock bootloaders anymore, not even by experts knowing all tricks, and if they dare trying anyway, lets just destroy the whole phone. Yeah a few still allow unlocking, mostly by forcing people to create an account, and give them a working mail addy and your devices unique ID-numbers. But the trend is clear, step by step every year more stuff becomes blocked. And of course, Microsoft as well. Windows machines have long since become pure bugging devices too, with other functions being only the bait for the prey. Therefore the owners must be made completely rightless too. Quite easy, just make it impossible to block any updates, for example to Win10. Let's declare this a little essential "security update" to fool people. Or whatever, all the FORCED upates anywhere, of course in Desktop Chrome browser as well etc. The only people who are always BLOCKED now are the owners, blocked from getting full access to their own devices, while the spy companies with remote access can do whatever they want to them. And of course, nothing better as just control the whole money transfer, up to the last penny! Anonymous cash must be abolished by all means, since it helps escaping full 100% tracking, so it's all evil! Everyone must be made to pay only if recording his name, no exception. Of course, this process will take some time, and it's best introduced as sneakingly as possible. Step by step, a little new law here, another little law there, and with propaganda everywhere how great it is to pay everything everywhere only by card, so very simple, so very handy, so very safe. Have even read the European Union has given out advice papers to the governments how to best go about it, without the population becoming suspicious too early. Oh yeah, and of course: "smart" home devices everywhere and for everything, listening permanently. Even "smart" puppets, talking to little kids, recording all their little secrets at the other side of the world. Or in Germany incredible new laws that in the future all electricity meters must be "smart" too, reporting via internet every hour or so (?) which devices are switched on... quite a goldmine too for certain people. Of course, this is merely meant to "help the environment" and "save money", by analzying possible waste... And a bit back someone dared to go to court when his landlord insisted to place a fire warner in the middle of his living and sleeping rooms, at the ceiling, which is also forced by a new law - so far sounding harmless, but this very special device in this case included a microphone inside (can't remember if also a camera), and it will get remote controled from outside at any time! Plus RADAR included inside to make sure the poor renters cannot even dare to cover it, in at least 1m distance! Of course, the landlord claims the microphone were just fake, not functioning at all, and of course, that's also what the manufacturer claims. So, what did the judge say? Always expect the worse, and you'll always be right nowadays: He judged that this is perfectly okay! If the manufacturer claims the spying equipment wouldn't work, then it surely must be so. Period. Just very funny IMO that this supposedly fake stuff was so very important to the landlord, that he even fought at court to install it in his renters rooms. And the german version of NSA is permanently listening the whole traffic on "the worldwide biggest internet node", which seems against the law, which is supposedly oh so privacy friendly. Only under very strict conditions and in special circumstances the state is allowed to watch innocent people in masses, and not more as a 20% share. So the company who runs that giant node (DE-CIX) went to court in 2018, and guess what, the judge simply ignored it and declared it okay, and blocked also all possibilities for revision. https://www.notebookcheck.com/BND-darf-weiter-Internetknoten-anzapfen.306254.0.html While at occasions, where surveillance would actually help society, to catch criminals at known hot spots, it's strictly forbidden, phonily pretending "privacy" reasons. By the way even wildlife cameras deep in forests are forbidden too since awhile, a new law created around the time when wolfpacks were intruced again - of course also for "privacy reasons"! Only allowed now: position not higher as knee hight, not pointing towards any ways where possibly a human could walk by, NO automatic triggers to start filming, only one photo every 5 minutes etc. There's no end to all the spying and phoniness... Sorry, have read too many horror reports, it's just beyond bearable :-(
