Then listen to D'Darker's raving wisdom and replace with https://0.0.0.0

If you run several extensions, it obviously will make sense to remake them with zeroes.

This is what you saw how the not-so-clever russian 360chrome repackers did it, and aped it, but it's wrong and silly, the browser will still broadcast rubbish and/or try to connect to it wasting the precious CPU cycles. You need to replace e.src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js"; with "0.0.0.0" Like they do it in the HOST file. Or with the loop "127.0.0.0", but it's SLOWER. @Sampei.Nihira, this is only for @NotHereToPlayGames, so don't read, you just don't and never appreciated advice from me.

It sounds very racist! You, yes you, without any shred of shame, discussed, and made a gazillion of topics on how to remove the telemetry from the Chinese-made Extreme Explorer 360! So, how discussing how to break/modify Tampermonkey's telemetry is any different? Oh, those famous double standards!

I'm sticking with 1.49 Developer version, later ones give me headaches, slow start with a yellow exclamation mark.

The last few weeks, or rather the last few months, I have expanded my JavaScript and CSS knowledge considerably. I started to develop not only new custom buttons for the legacy extension Custom Buttons and custom CSS stylesheets, both targeting Mypal 68, but also UC.JS scripts for Mypal 68 and compatible browsers. Additionally, I have tested and analysed all available methods for loading UC.JS scripts. I also put my favoured method, which I presented in the first post of this thread, to the test. The loading method in my download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z is based on the loading method of Nuchi and Sporif. At the time, I assumed that additional code inside the config.js file was needed to load UC.JS scripts. This code comes from the alice0775 project and, however, it is not needed at all for the loading method I have provided, as I have realised in the last few days. It is only needed if there is no binding via the userchrome.xml file. Fortunately, it didn't do any harm either, but I have nevertheless tidied up my package and got rid of unnecessary ballast. I will now create and upload a new download package which will also contain my fix for the error "ReferenceError: XPCOMUtils is not defined" in two different ways. What I can already say at this point is that my favourite Nuchi-Sporif method is one of the best of all regarding Mypal 68. More on this soon. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

I've uploaded a copy to https://filebin.net/0ag5oiyrvgas6fqo/Proxomitron%20-%20MSFN%20-%2001-26-2022.zip The Filebin link will expire in 6 days. I no longer have a Dropbox account and Filebin popped up when searching for "no account file hosting".

I can confirm that 0.0.0.0 "works" for breaking the Google Analytics telemetry for the extension that this was discussed. I don't really have a way to "test" if this is indeed "faster" or "better" or not. But I can confirm that it "works". Personally, I still prefer the tt -> xx method. Because I like to look at my modifications six months or a year from now and with that method, my mod stands out like a sore thumb. The 0.0.0.0 would require "notes" on the side or a re-visit to the original code to see just what I mod'd out. I'm personally not convinced that hxxp is any slower than ht tps://0.0.0.0 because the browser does not know what to "do" with hxxp so the instruction is SKIPPED. The browser DOES know what to "do" with ht tps://0.0.0.0. (edit: and it appears that an "old" browser versus a "modern" browser will react DIFFERENTLY when it encounters 0.0.0.0) It would be one thing if I replaced a real DOMAIN with a will-not-resolve-at-the-DNS-level DOMAIN as that would obviously consume clock cycles and DNS lookup time. But the browser (and OS) has no clue what to "do" with hxxp://you-are-here.com and it is irrelevant if "you-are-here.com" is a real DOMAIN or not, it doesn't even get sent to the server for a DNS lookup. It doesn't even get passed through the OS hosts file for the OS to decide if it is "redirected" or not. The REDIRECTION may indeed be FASTER, but my mod doesn't require the OS to perform any host-based redirect.

You missed that part of the conversation. That was discussed "before" the topic was relocated to this thread, so it's understandable that it was missed. Tampermonkey's coding is very "tricky" in places. MANY extensions employ TRICKS in an ATTEMPT to keep people from editing out the parts they don't like. That does not stop me! I find a way to edit out the BS! In the case of the UNINSTALL auto-visit BS to the D#MN HOME PAGE, if you remove the URL entirely, or even replace parts of the URL, then the GUI will not load and CRASHES. But if you PREFIX with "disabled-" as my mod does, THEN THE UNINSTALL AUTO-VISIT BS IS BROKEN, no new tab opens! But yeah, sure, a CPU cycle or two was "wasted". Sure, there are other ways to defuse the d#mn auto-visit BS upon uninstall, but my prefix-fix is a COMMON method that works in MANY extensions that code-in "you tampered with my code, I'm going to CRASH now". Again, try your advice if you don't believe mine. THIS is what happens if you "edit it out". The Tampermonkey author WANTS YOU TO VISIT HIS HOME PAGE. Without modifying an otherwise great extension, the home page is visited immediately after install, 14 days later, upon various edits resulting in a crash where those edits would not crash other extensions, upon uninstalling, within useless portions of the GUI that I also mod-out, perhaps even other areas that my useage has not ran across (if I do, rest assured, they too will be mod'd out!), et cetera. This author really does add "countless" attempts for his HOME PAGE to be auto-visited! Not on my system! We've also seen just what that HOME PAGE does to the chrome.exe process-count in Supermium.

Well, then sorry for the assumption, but 90's aren't around anymore, are they? And 0000 consumes nothing, it's a general recommendation since the day Vista came out.

My apologies! I make so many extension mods that I (temporarily) lost track. The Google Analytics that I had to "defuse" last week was when I was testing audio EQ extensions. Since we are embarking on this journey, I'll walk through that extension's modifications. It is the EQ extension that makes a Google Analytics connection with each and every browser launch. It is this extension - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ears-bass-boost-eq-any-au/nfdfiepdkbnoanddpianalelglmfooik?hl=en In manifest.json, make this mod to defuse the Google Analytics telemetry: "content_security_policy": "script-src 'self' https://ssl.google-analytics.com; object-src 'self'" "content_security_policy": "script-src 'self' hxxps://ssl.google-analytics.com; object-src 'self'" In popup.js, make this mod to defuse the Google Analytics telemetry: e.src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js"; e.src="hxxps://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js";

I got it to work (sort of...) by going to `about:config` and change the string of: general.useragent.override.youtube.com into: Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

The noise is mostly low frequency hum (motor?), sometimes high pitched frequencies, older people don't hear high pitched noises.

And for rather younger people like me, HDDs are not popular anymore, I think they are in decline, everyone just streams these days. That would explain the pitiful quality!

Modern models are very hot. slow and noisy, most of them use the infamous "shingled" tech. for the economy. Overall, a very budget solution.

My father had bought me a WD40EFRX in 2016, works till this day in my desktop. Though it's not quiet, but is a lot less noisier than Toshiba or Seagate.

Yep, that's the one. I keep it at the HIGH preset ALL OF THE TIME. I'm too old to have to turn up the volume to hear the normal scenes then get BLASTED TO H#LL with LOUD VOLUMES during action scenes.

Powering it down is also not advisable, since it can just never spin up again. In such cases I usually flip those poor dying b*stards in an attempt to spin them up. Some models do spin up when placed upside down, make it very gently, while they're powered on.

I strongly advise against any type of tests on any allegedly dying HDD, especially if we know the disk is from the Deathstar 2.0 family. From what I understood, @Cixertalready run chkdsk. CHKDSK is basically a death sentence for those disks, last nail in the coffin.

Then, theoretically, they would let you in like me. Because we were already fingerprinted with the location. When the flags were reset, everyone showed their real location.

When I check my account "security settings", it lists all devices and locations I ever logged in from, just check yours. Edit. All tracking data is being gathered and stored.

Well, I tried uBlock 1.54, and I wasn't happy with its slow performance at all, frankly I'm disappointed. In the end, it glitched out for me completely, leaving the lists' page totally empty.

Yes, thats wonderfull, was wondering whats the difference between your kernel and this one: https://github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex it seams this one does not require any core system files to be patched but is not developed anymore... I also found this: https://github.com/Blaukovitch/API-MS-WIN_XP which is a ported windows 11 apis back to windows 7 and XP which might be usefull to make programs that for some strange reason require (the strangest is when an updated does that) newer apis that windows 7 lacks
