It's not what I asked, it's irrelevant.

Classics, accuse the enemy of your own crimes.

HTTPS Everywhere is obsolete for a decade or so. All somewhat modern browsers don't need it. I'm pretty sure v.115, too, you're welcome to check. Non-relevant since it has nowhere to leak data to.

Yep! I did the same but then I read the software requirements. As I am not interested in downgrading my Windows Media Player, I have uninstalled PCMark04 after one unsuccessful run.

Keep in mind that PCMark04 requires Windows Media Player 9 (and not higher) whereas PCMark05 requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher.

PCMark05 is a very sensitive software and also seems to have problems on certain computers if all tests are to be performed. Here are my test results so far: After various tests, changes and corrections in my system, I was able to run all the tests from System Test Suite successfully. Here is my missing PCMark Score: Although all tests from all categories can be run now successfully on my system, the software does not manage to run them all at once. This indicates a bug in the programme, which is probably only noticeable on certain systems.

Military Police?

Great post, sorry I'm out of reactions for today, I'll do it tomorrow. I like what you write, it's honest and unbiased. To me, it seems too much of a hassle to make Firefox even remotely private.

Misplaced trust. It's not that difficult to become an "exit node". I used to know two server-maintainers that set themselves up as "exit nodes". Give yourself two months and due-diligence and you yourself can become an "exit node". You cannot "tor" without an "exit node". Look into "exit node eavesdropping". There are ways to block certain exit nodes. But it is another one of those things that only a tiny handful of users are even aware of. It's the Firefox opt-out scenario all over again. An about:config toggle is only useful if *ALL* users of Firefox know it's even buried in there. I know Firefox users that have never heard of "about:config". If this is a "majority" or a "minority" of Firefox users is totally unknown to me. Same goes for those that "opt-out".

This is your OPINION. Chromium-based is really no different than Firefox-based - both have Sh^TLoadS of telemetry that the END-USER must jump through hoops to prevent/disable. A default setup right out of the box for Firefox typically has HUNDREDS (PLURAL!) of telemetry connections on the FIRST RUN (if you know what you are doing, you do this FIRST RUN when not connected to the internet!). A default setup right out of the box for Chrome typically has LESS THAN TWO DOZEN. "To each their own". But you are deceived or blind to refer to Firefox as "privacy-friendly" when the end-user is faced with many many MANY more HOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH to make it remotely qualify as "privacy-friendly". Opt-Out is one thing. But only a tiny handful of Firefox users even know that this "opt-out" even exists! https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/walsc6/why_do_people_keep_acting_like_firefox_is_a/?rdt=34771 This isn't 1990 when Firefox truly was "privacy-friendly". ANONYMOUS DATA is still a privacy violation in my book! I view Firefox + Opt-Out as no different than UNGOOGLED CHROMIUM = Chrome + Opt-Out But either way you look at it, it is the responsibility of the end-user to "opt-out". "My two cents..."

Thanks again! What is a little strange is the unfortunate circumstance that the Multithreaded Test 1 failed completely on my Windows XP computer even though I had installed the Windows Media Encoder 9.

You're welcome to add.

Those era notes usually had 8MB of real VRAM, the rest was borrowed from the system.

A PCMark Score of 2089 vs 1412. The values are not particularly far apart which means my PC is only a bit faster than yours. Right?

OK, but we'd need to see another link targeting @K4sum1's repo. And I'd be more comfortable running a local program that would count lines of code on the cloned repo, just in case, if we can't rely on GitHub itself to do the counting. I did try one in the past, but that was over a decade ago and on a much smaller codebase, a highschool project actually, a toy basically. In any case, throwing out 4 million lines of Rust code would not be a small feat I think. Ungoogled Chromium repo is just hosting patches to apply to Chromium's code and some utilities written in Python, but there's no code in there from which to build actual web browser.

It was the security update KB2447961 for Windows Media Encoder 9 from December 2010. My Windows Media Player 11 is of the version 11.0.5721.5293. So, a bit more recent than yours. Check for updates via MU/WU!

No. Install it and check via MU/WU if there are updates available! On my Windows XP system, an update for the Windows Media Encoder 9 was offered.

It's against forum rules, not to mention common sense and politeness. And to me, also looks like you simply don't know yourself but making pompous announcements based on nothing.

I said irrelevant to my question, not the whole topic. @Sampei.Nihira simply avoids answering by switching the topic. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186450-firefox-a-promised-land-of-privacy-that-never-happened-look-elsewhere-unless-youre-a-coder-with-the-ability-to-stop-the-enormous-data-mining/?do=findComment&comment=1272456

@Sampei.Nihira, in your casually misleading post you implied that everything can be tuned up in about:config. I contradicted with an article from experts. We are waiting for the answer, or you you'll just ignore, as usual? https://msfn.org/board/topic/186450-firefox-a-promised-land-of-privacy-that-never-happened-look-elsewhere-unless-youre-a-coder-with-the-ability-to-stop-the-enormous-data-mining/?do=findComment&comment=1272449

So far, we've only seen you're on MS Edge in every topic, so why no screenshots?

Where do you get this from? DXVA2 is Vista native, the first release of Vista came out with DX10.0, but hardware acceleration works. DX11 was added to Vista a bit later, in the form of an optional patch. Power DVD minimum requirements for hardware acceleration is Vista SP1.

And what about the standard 8-bit H265? Some time ago I found a 780 Ti in the dumpster, the checkmarks correspond to what it supports in the terms of hardware acceleration. But it's on Vista, I didn't try on XP. Driver version 348.01 (HP Elite). The screenshot is old, I can't make more, I'm not at home currently. Took from e-mail.

The GeForce 6200 AGP is indeed a good one. It is absolutely silent as my version is passively cooled. Unfortunately, my motherboard supports only AGP 4x although the GeForce 6200 is an AGP 8x one. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-6200-agp.c2419

Project-A-Phone is very popular, too. Maybe even a bit over-popular.

It's not "crusade", this topic is intended to state the obvious facts. Why I "can't use Firefox but only r3dfox"? You personally forbid me?
