Wow! It's wonderful to hear from you @soporific! You've been much missed! Hope you're back to stay!

Agreed. and this being the case, let me report that on Windows 7 32-bit I restored sucessfuly working flash to IE 11.0.9600.19866 Update Version: 11.0.220 (KB4586768) and to Firefox ESR 52.9.1 (32-bit) by modding the internal date, removing the invalidated digital signature and adjusting the PE-Checksum (@UCyborg's method), but (even after replacing also %SystemDrive%\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\32.0.0.465\pepflashplayer.dll) wasn't able to restore it to working state on Google Chrome 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (32-bit).

Oh! That's easy! People at Invision actually live by the motto "if it ain't broken, fix it until it gets FUBAR", of course!

Does it make any difference? While at least you and I (and many long-time members) actually do use flags that trully reflect their location, many others don't, so I don't think this actualy enhances privacy much. Did some aspect of it escape me?

Who do you mean "we"?

Sure there is! It's under the 3-dot menu, to the right of the header-bar at the top of the post. You know, when it's not broken, do fix it until it gets there!

Much less bloat. Try it!

The last decent μTorrent is v. 2.0.2.19648 (from 2010), IMO. Try it 'n see whether it works, it'll probably satisfy all your needs.
