Yes, I can add extensions with a button on the Web Store pages, so definitely not "un-Googled"! I will try putting the updated version into a temporary folder and transfer my existing profile to it, and see if it works. If not, no big deal if I have to start from scratch again, although I have saved a lot of (non-critical!) passwords and that sort of thing, which I would rather not have to do all over again!

Just yet another quick question @NotHereToPlayGamesabout the new version of 13.5. It says on the first post that the links are "Download links for starting from scratch with a NEW PROFILE:" That implies that they can't be used with an existing profile, is that right? Also I can't remember whether I have an un-Googled version or not! I can use the Chrome Web Store, so am I right in assuming it must be a version that isn't "un-Googled"? Thanks, Dave.

Speaking of v11, it will likely get another update in a week or so. There are several "mobile phone" embedded 'features' that are not required on a web browser that none of us are using on a "mobile phone". These were removed by the original creators of 360Chrome in v12 and higher but are still there in v11 (and admittedly never noticed on my end until hunting for possible fixes to vanishing text issues that seem to only exist in v11 [also exist in Humming Owl's v11, in official Chinese v11, in repack Russian v11, and in orginal Chromium v69 that 360Chrome v11 is based from].

As a former Proximitron-user (actually, I still use it [I was a site admin on a Proxomitron forum], but for Microsoft Excel web queries and not for my web browser), Proxomitron and ProxHTTPSProxy both can be thought of as a "VPN". I shall refer to both as simply Prox. ALL of your web browser "data" flows "thru" Prox. Your web browser does not request data from MSFN.org, for example. Rather, your web browser requests data from Prox. Then Prox requests the identical data from MSFN.org. MSFN.org then sends that data not to your web browser but to Prox instead. Prox is located on the same "computer", but the data is not being sent to your web browser, it is being sent to Prox. Prox then sends that data to your web browser. Your web browser never "touches" MSFN.org. Your web browser only "touches" Prox - it requests data from Prox, it receives data from Prox. So as far as an "SSL Certificate Chain", you only need to maintain ONE. The connection between your web browser and Prox. The Proxomitron community referred to this as "rolling your own" Proxomitron SSL Certificate. As long as the web browser sees a "secure" connection to Prox, the ONE and ONLY certificate now needed for SSL, then the web browser will always display a "green padlock". So your web browser (especially Firefox and the damn "nag screen") never EVER "knows" that MSFN.org's certificate "chain" is 'broken' because the connection between the web browser and Prox is "not broken". I'm over-simplifying, but that's the general idea.

Direct2D doesn't exist on XP so related prefs shouldn't make a difference.

I was reluctant to overwrite MBR on my new dual boot. Fortunately GRUB2 was a champ, automagic boot entries below all work. The actual Windows 7 C: drive is /dev/sda3, booted by Windows 7's /dev/sda2 boot partition. Devuan GNU/Linux Windows Recovery Environment (on /dev/sda1) Windows 7 (on /dev/sda2)

Has anyone managed to get an AV package working with the new version installed? Panda and Avast are not happy

Yeah , let's not discuss , I agree . But other members need to know why I asked you . Not everyone is aware , it seems . Honestly , I can't understand why would you bring the politics here in the first place ? Huh ? I mean , you didn't link to a neutral website about Dutch tullips ! You linked to the enemy station . I was in shock why would you even suggest something like this to a Finnish guy . Being from Europe , you ought to know his motherland Finland is still under Russian occupation , huge Finnish territories are still under occupation . Like Karelia , etc. "Russia occupied Finland several times" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland–Russia_relations In 1939 Russia bombed Helsinki and occupied Finland again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Helsinki_in_World_War_II Not enough ? I still remember russian tanks near your house too .... OK ! Let's pretend it was a big misunderstanding and move on. I just wanted to say I'm on the same side with this marvellous , friendly , funny and wise Finnish guy , I hope he will forgive you . P.S. I know a lot of Germans . You need to be sure you're not talking to an ex-stasi , DDR military or his/her relatives/family members and the such , who will tell you "some things were better on the other side". To the other readers and our dear moderators , please excuse us for this slight off-topic ! And it is still kinda on-topic , since we talk about internet websites . Why ? Simply because we didn't have RT in the 90's when russians couldn't allow themselves to pay for this super expensive propaganda machine with the western oil/gas money and the internet was definitely better !

Don't get me started on that one! I believe in personal accountability and you CAN RETIRE if you live your life properly! Don't buy a home that takes you thirty years to pay off (I paid off mine in THREE! - the bank pre-approved me for a $350,000 mortgage, I bought a $67,000 three-bedroom one-bath while driving a paid-off 18yr old car rusting out from under me). Don't live in vain so much so that you trade cars in every three to four years because you want to be seen in something "new". Don't buy a brand new vehicle and put yourself under a 6-year auto loan at the age of 62 then complain that you can't retire at 64 because Social Security won't pay for your auto loan and your 30-year mortgage. Don't complain at 64 that you "can't live off of Social Security" when you lived life in such a manner that you are still paying for a 30-year mortgage when you bought your house 50 years ago. Don't complain at 64 that the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment was 1.30% when the inflation rate is 1.25%. Or that two years before the COLA was 2.80% when the inflation rate was 2.49%. That is UPSIDE DOWN and WILL BE the reason why the NEXT GENERATION has no Social Security because you broke the bank.
