    Today, I have found a way to toggle all my CSS stylesheets in the chrome folder without restarting the browser by a mighty user script. So, no need anymore to use the Disable Transitions extension. From now on, I'll toggle all my CSS files via this script.
  2. AstroSkipper
    I assume you found the CSS code here: https://superuser.com/questions/1224596/disable-css-animations-on-firefox If injected via userContent.css without any modifications which means using the CSS code globally, i.e. for all websites, it indeed works even with the "initial" CSS keyword. However, I had tested the code only on ebay.de by using @-moz-document url or @-moz-document domain, and this didn't work for me. In Mypal 68, I installed the extension Disable Transitions created by the author of the CSS code you found. Works absolutely great. To only use this code on eBay websites, enabling and disabling the extension is now my strategy, since this CSS code has negative effects on other sites as for example MSFN. In New Moon 28, I use the Stylem extensions to apply the CSS code. Even in this browser, I can successfully apply the code only globally and not locally. But with Stylem, you can quickly switch stylesheets on and off. So, problem solved for now.

    In the case of New Moon 28, you are right, but Mypal 68 and Thorium have not been updated since the bookmark was saved. By the way, in the CSS code you previously posted as a fix, only the "initial" keyword is present. The "initial" CSS keyword applies the initial (or default) value of a property to an element. Nothing more. To stop animations or transitions, there is actually the need of the "none" CSS keyword.

    Long story short. eBay websites (at least here in Germany) which worked fine some weeks or months ago must have recently changed, and their new layout is not pleasing. The page I quoted runs on my computer at 100% CPU utilisation in New Moon 28, Mypal 68 and even in Thorium. A short time ago, it was almost 0% after loading completely. That's a fact. I opened the same link I bookmarked weeks ago.

    Unable to replicate. ebayimg.map doesn't show up in any of my logs even when visiting https://www.ebay.de/itm/186679189985 incognito. Perhaps, eBay is once again using German eBay customers as guinea pigs for layout experiments. Comparable to laboratory rats. The eBay websites have become worse and worse in recent years. It used to be much, much better.

    This is the deactivated filter: ! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/25247 ! ||www.ebay.$removeparam=_trksid But enabling this filter could lead to the reported problem: "Add to Watchlist" does not work .Anyway! This must be created under My rules in uBO to clean up the link completely: ||www.ebay.$removeparam=_trksid ||www.ebay.$removeparam=itmprp ||www.ebay.$removeparam=itmmeta
  7. AstroSkipper
    Correct! I was not logged in at the time. The eBay link is in the format that you are offered as a simple guest. It actually only contains one real tracking component starting with _trksid, the other two are purely item related starting with itmprp (followed by a checksum) and itmmeta and are not normally filtered by tracking filters. The current URL tracking filter list inside uBO does not even clean _trksid, although it is included but not activated.

    Thanks for your suggestion! I'll try it out later on my Windows XP computer. Since Stylus no longer works in Mypal 68, and Stylish is no longer installed in New Moon 28, I will try to inject the code into the eBay pages via the userContent.css file. No success. This does not do anything. The issue doesn't seem to be related to animations and transitions. Only when blocking ebayimg.map.fastly.net in uBO, the CPU utilisation becomes normal again. But then the page looks unusable like that:

    Had to make a quick trip to the pharmacy. Just copied and pasted and bye-bye.
  10. AstroSkipper
    Just for clarification. I know how to prevent URL tracking parameters. But the two profiles I am currently using are actually for testing and developing in New Moon 28 and Mypal 68. Apart from uBO, there is no other protection. And even this content blocker is only configured slightly, as it is not of interest. I test JavaScript and CSS files in these profiles. Mainly things I have created myself. I had searched for something on eBay there weeks ago, and now these pages no longer work as before. No more, no less. Nevertheless, thanks for replying!
  11. AstroSkipper
    I just quoted the original link which worked much better some weeks ago. FYI, I always use uBlock Origin Legacy for filtering web content in New Moon 28. And in Mypal 68, uBlock Origin. And a few user scripts.

    Then try, for example, this link in New Moon 28 and have fun : https://www.ebay.de/itm/186679189985?_trksid=p4247815.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A1866791899851d87f28e6f894355904105bfee689f19|enc%3AAQAJAAABgEnLatTXWXNAKPRnYtxVTXN2rJD11TMrqd%2Bc4NcqE%2BNGk6ejyqiKoKTZm%2BWiG7rLUKnmQT96yLmgza78VpCainYj%2Fcd7BbF%2F3JO7HSXt2n3iFYDbns8rSMT0idXbcmlMHWKniLK2o5tYYPmM8KWpVo95tWt2nTiQXMqmKRIMl5gAplMB1Ggx6kVqfXRetLAgGAr8tj3qIQFVusM3w2%2FTbqJcbms5AWlMLjBh33IT1VukCGrNibKsT%2F0qkwEeKrJ%2BqRhZKo%2F7BwNoK%2FJG9Di5oc8nbRdyqLnSmvEepcz27hw1plzGYkK3M%2FLS204Xl8d%2B%2BtIjQvpPKMqk7tOaYfRxOxqTc3Phjio2VBw5s0TdzIIxxR%2BteWen1ewuCZGgHTJtZr6usyBSJzML5fV2jMBQPa7DWTgyDixtoE50pm%2FEDlHegBefzvpwr4gPu1TxWSReqif%2BmyZ7w1jSjGESSDRCREZYTF84m9YVByxPQYOWWIrye4jSHSDhla3R%2B%2FoekGKQpA%3D%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4247815&itmmeta=01J7YM3GS0ANMV3XSRX87J8ZNZ

    The performance was bearable some weeks ago. I assume it is more CSS related. It seems to be a problem with images. If images are disabled by uBO on eBay, the CPU utilisation becomes normal again. BTW, there is a new, images related url in the uBO popup on eBay. Something with "fast". Apart from that, a faster CPU doesn't make the pictures any smaller on eBay in New Moon 28 or Mypal 68. Anyway! This is probably another modern, bells and whistles improvement from eBay for the bin. P.S.: The new, images related URL in the uBO popup on eBay is ebayimg.map.fastly.net.
  15. AstroSkipper
    Here are two screenshots taken from an article on eBay (Germany) in New Moon 28: All images are now much bigger than before. And CPU utilisation remains permanently at 100%.
  16. AstroSkipper
    @roytam1 eBay must have recently changed their layout. Pages with items lead now to a 100% CPU utilisation on my single core machine, even with uBO. The actual causer seems to be the item images and in some cases also the item description. Weeks ago, it was working fine. Now, surfing eBay with New Moon 28 is no fun anymore. BTW, same issue in Mypal 68.

    If you call me Mr. OT Police, then I regret to inform you at this point that you are the Mr. OT Master.

    I have made a small change in the All about: custom button to reduce the size of the tooltip popup by half. Now it looks like this: Is it better that way?
  19. AstroSkipper
    You're welcome.
  20. AstroSkipper
    I sincerely hope that constantly posting offtopic isn't a form of senility. In the last few pages, one doesn't get anything about the actual topic here. @roytam1 must have a very thick skin.
  21. AstroSkipper
    @feodor2 I am not sure if you aware of this. The logger of uBlock Origin 1.60 does not work in Mypal 68.14.4b when running single-process mode. Neither in the officially last compatible version 1.46 of uBlock Origin. In multiprocess mode, the logger is running fine.
  22. AstroSkipper
    Your assumption is unfortunately wrong. If you had read my article carefully, you would have noticed that the All about: custom button is not a fork of an extension but of an old custom button. When I create or fork custom buttons, then a well-functioning toolbar button is the main target. So, using the All about: custom button means using the toolbar button. That's why it is called custom button and not extension. I could implement such functionality you requested but I am not interested in. Personally, I am a fan of toolbar buttons with multiple and meaningful functions.

    All about: - A custom button for accessing the about:config page and other important about:pages in a more convenient way. Forked, translated and reworked by AstroSkipper All about: is a custom button to open the about:config page solely, or alternatively, with a currently selected or a previously copied string as a filter. Furthermore, other important about:pages can be easily opened from a button menu each with one click. I created two versions, one is targeting Serpent, Basilisk and other Firefox 52/53 based browsers, and the other is targeting the New Moon and Pale Moon browsers. I forked the All about: custom button from an old but still working one, translated and completely reworked it. I changed the content of the tooltip, added a help menu, inserted icons to the about:pages button menu by adding code, adapted the about:pages entries to the respective browser versions which lead to two different versions. All has been done solely in JavaScript without the help of CSS. Finally, I rearranged some code. The All about: custom button is very handy and helpful for those who are working a lot with prefs in the about:config page. The most interesting features are to open the about:config page with the currently selected string without copying it and a button menu with only important about:pages. Here are small screenshots of the All about: custom button taken from New Moon 28: And here are the download links: All about: for Serpent, Basilisk and other Firefox 52/53 based browsers: https://www.mediafire.com/file/16sfrr2gxwdxdc7/All_about-fx-sp-ba.xml/file All about: for New Moon and Pale Moon browsers: https://www.mediafire.com/file/gyktk1qu92k003g/All_about-nm-pm.xml/file The download links contain XML backup files of the All about: custom button as the problem with the conversion of custom buttons into XML format has been finally solved by me. Simply open the XML file in the browser and click onto the install button! For the installation of this button, the extension Custom Buttons is required which you can get from this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226328 The custom button All about: can be used with New Moon, Serpent, Firefox. Most probably also with Pale Moon and Basilisk which I haven't tested, though, as I don't use these browsers. Unfortunately, these versions of the All about: custom button don't work with the non-UXP browser Mypal 68 and other modern Firefox versions as the used code is not compatible with them. But for Mypal 68, I already created a new All about: custom button from scratch with same functionality since I also use the legacy Custom Buttons extension in this browser. Its creation was much more complicated as I thought due to some issues I had to fix and due to a complete recreation of the button menu. The custom button looks absolutely identical to the UXP variant but its code inside is of course different. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

    Personally, I don't expect to be able to surf every website properly with UXP browsers. The bloated, modern and totally over-greedy websites simply have to be accessed with other browsers or devices. Since there's a lot of Googlised junk on them, such sites are thrown at my Android (Google) tablet. That works great. Spoken for me only, I don't like the modern web layout. In my opinion, the entire development of websites is going in the completely wrong direction. I would rather focus on fast page loading and compatibility than overloading pages with all kinds of bells and whistles.
  25. AstroSkipper
    After more in-depth investigations, tests and analyses , I have come to the conclusion that the issue, described in my previous posts, is primarily a timing problem in multiprocess mode and can be easily fixed by inserting a delay in the right position.
