No : https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=23281 PS: I realise people on old/weak H/W (like myself ), in an attempt to squeeze more out of the browser, often turn to "about:config" for custom modifications of one or more "advanced" prefs (in the expectation they can potentially make their "old" box behave like a "recent" one ) ; besides the fact these "about:config" prefs are primarily directed at devs (and should not be tinkered by plain users), they are often poorly documented now (because MDN have a nasty habit of removing old documentation), so one can't be 100% sure what the actual/future ramifications of such a change will be; often times, it's just a placebo effect, at best ("I" manually modified the default value, so it "must" have improved performance); in the past, I used to do that myself a lot, but over the years I ended up with the conviction that leaving prefs at their default settings (configured by Mozilla devs) is probably the best policy ; but this is just me...

I've done some more tests, and FWIW, the log entry only seems to be written when Google Sync is enabled. If I log out of Google Sync, it doesn't happen. My guess is that it's something to do with the extensions sync process. That still doesn't explain why it doesn't happen on the 64-bit Windows 10 installation of course!

"extension_garbage_collector.cc" is a Chromium source file: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/8496f370f/chrome/browser/extensions/extension_garbage_collector.cc ... and https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1l0nd3l/what_does_this_chrome_garbage_collector_event_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHelp/comments/1itxbf8/what_is_this_in_my_event_viewer/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3890397/what-is-this-in-the-event-viewer I personally wouldn't worry that much about this; it's just an "informational" event, pertaining to "normal" browser functionality associated with its extensions system ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_science)

I would add that OFTEN TIMES, those placebo-effect changes also make the browser LESS compatible than it already was. ie, we know that SOME TIMES the reason a captcha can't be passed is BECAUSE OF these types of placebo-effect changes. I know I should LINK to one of those discussions where one of these had to be REVERTED in order to pass a captcha, I just don't have the energy to hunt one down at the moment.

But let’s be honest. That’s the case everywhere on the web these days. Google Chrome is the preferred choice, and a fairly recent version at that. So it’s nothing we wouldn’t have expected. And users actually go along with this nonsense.

On the contray , I think you're allowed to say whatever you like on here , including attacks and offensive words ! Unlike you , I can't allow myself to visit the forum everyday , I have a job and my new GF doesn't like me spending lots of time near computers , you know . Besides ,I don't have to explain to a dude with the wannabe-moderator tendencies , why I asked on-topic question regarding this browser several days later and I don't need his permission . Don't want (or don't know what) to answer , just ignore , it's that simple.

Oh , so no protection against fake news ? Hmmkay , thanks for letting me know . I shall not report fake news in the future , sorry I disturbed you.

1 - It's good we are on the same page regarding fake posts and off-topic users ! 2 - About the style . You know , we (Europeans) are quite frank people . If we see fake news , we call it fake news , not the other way around . Also , we don't use the infamous californian "highly-likely style" of writing . So no sentences like "somewhat fixed" , "partially working" , etc. Lemme give you some examples from the local papers: "the antivirus software is highly likely developed by the KGB" , no we don't use it that way. We say "developed by KGB" , if we are not sure , then there's no such "news". From this thread : "Installing KB4493471 will fix it somewhat". No , we would say : "Installing KB4493471 will not fix it". It's either working or not . Otherwise, it's a piece of vapourware, esp. considering zero proof. Could you help me to obtain a more (soft?) style , maybe ? Do I have to start my posts with smth like this ? "Girls , guys , everyone in-between , others who are to decide who they are , we are having a nasty weather today , if no one's offended by this fact , please let me know and I shall continue ..." Would it be OK ? Or maybe I need to start with guys so they won't be offended ? What about the rest then ? Please let me know . Have a nice day/morning/evening/afternoon/supper/dinner/breakfast/lunch, etc .

Like everything else ... I honestly don't know what to choose . It's plenty of them here , but seems they aren't designed to last , even if they're not used. Superflower also has that dust gathering board . I do not want to collect dust , so no "cable management" for me. I want a classic psu with real grille , without paint (just bare metal) , without cable management , without LED lights , without "beautiful" cables , etc.

Everyone , @Mr.Scienceman2000 , @TrevMUN , thank you very much for the suggestions ! Unfortunately I had to return the Seasonic Focus PX-850 back the to store (yes , we are still able to return everything back in my country , no questions asked ). Why did I return it ? It's noisy by design , the airflow is poor , it has that stupid dust gathering board for the "cable management" inside , and I didn't like it's too tight on space inside , the vent itself is noisy too , it rotates (why?) even with a small load ! I hope Seasonics s12-II is good and without that dust gathering junk [it has normal cables], but not produced anymore , so I still do not know what to buy ...

?!?!?! WOW !

Of course it doesn't , it's fake news. Do not get your hopes high , it won't be fixed by MS . What I can suggest to you , completely delete Win defender , it will lead to the faster startup process on haswell and the logon bug will appear much less .

"Discussions" ? lol I pointed out for you every location , exact locations for each them . Also , the most important - chinese DNS spy removal. Internet remembers everything : https://msfn.org/board/topic/182304-extreme-explorer-360-chromium-78-86-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=1201911 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182304-extreme-explorer-360-chromium-78-86-general-discussion/page/15/?tab=comments#comment-1194253 You know what , I have 13.5 chrome DLL with the removed telemetry ready , but suddenly (out of the blue,lol) decided to hold it for now.

You and politeness live on the opposite poles , lol. You like to say something which I never said before. Where did I say something about likes ? Anyways , let's forget it . Do you realize 360EE and 360SE are two different products ?

Hi , I didn't give you my driver 373.19 , so I can't comment on yours. Also , your question belongs to the "drivers for Vista section" , not here. I repeat again , my 373.19 works on Vista , but it's a paid driver made by Siemens and can be shared only with the owner of this website , supervisors and win32 to help with the kernel development , I don't want some very wrong folks to get their hands on it.
