    Maybe because there is a ring to it, I reckon. Stop embarrassing yourself.

    Thank you, rereser, I'll check it out.

    Yeah, who is that gorhill? Does he have a PhD? Just in case you take quoting you as an endorsement, LAF. PS: at least check the suggested pages, in the particular one suggested by @Sampei.Nihira there are a few dozen technical reviews.

    Hi. This one used to work (perhaps it still does and is my set up). I use the addon singlefile, a lot. Recently, in some pages I started getting the error e-findlast function not found, for example in elciudadano.com

    Ha ha, good to know I had the fix already. I feel safer :P. I also tried in mypal, so I guess that is also fixed. As per trying on a non-fixed version, I completely trust what you say: I tried even though I thought I was unprotected. Put to think about it, not the first time, really ;P

    Have you tried with istilldontcareaboutcookies-1.1.1? They are community run, and (they say) answer to requests. It works better (more comprehensively) than the old idontcareaboutcookies. Cheers @Sampei.Nihira, and thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us, retired and all. Don't mind them digital flies.

    Which ones were those? I may have miss'em. Look: webp is an issue, and there are a million monkeys working 'round the clock to get into the systems of persons of import (the CitizenLab tries to deal with that sort of stuff). Bottom line, though, unless a state-sponsored team directly targets you, it is carelessness and curiosity that kills the cat. Go on looking for sites with webp images, download or watch stuff from shaddy sites, use software that has not been vetted by people of real, practical (not youtube) knowledge, and you'll get scientific proof that they're out to get you. I know you need your fix, and that you need it now. In the meanwhile... well, you get the picture.

    I've got plenty of webp files in my system. That's not the issue. I also got lots of flash, doc(x), html, and what have you type of files (millions!), all of them (files of that type, that is) at one time or another making non-savy surfers suffer some sort of issue, masked under some other extension, blah blah blah. But I thought we weren't talking anymore. I'm so glad you (guys) decided to break the ice.
  10. dmiranda
    Well, time for those sites to change their practices, period. I ceased to use flash, webgl almost decades ago. I don't think I missed anything of importance. As any M.D (even more if s/he has a PhD) would say: if drinking wine makes you ill, don't drink it. PS: but if you have to, the suggested ublock fix allows you to satisfy your thirst, anyway. Just allow the glass to reach your lips temporarily or permanently. Hic!

    I just get the image attached, no crash, nothing, on sp52 hardened to boot. PS: I get the same thing in my social media profile where I visit all the bad bloated fellas, safely enough, apparently.

    Somehow this place, https://www.researchgate.net is broken: cloudfare verification stops it, here and in roytam1's build, where I'm replicating this post in case there are different options (I will blank out the one that doesnt' correspond, and accept @Dave-H o r other moderator ruling about it. Basically, if I have the exact download pdf/doc address, no problem. If I have to go through the interface, cloudfare (surprise, surprise) complicates things the way it does. I tried different suaos, and using firefox 115.0 almost does it in vanilla, but not quite. Thanks.

    Another way: once you have already set up your search engines the way you want, you can copy and save somewhere the file youprofile/search.json.mozlz4 and later on, routinely, replace the one in your polluted profile. That way, you will always have them as you want them. The same applies to sp52, and you may in fact use your already sp52 profile/search.json.mozlz4 in mypal. The issue with mojeek and brave is more complicated, because mypal installs them from yourprofile/extensions.json. As described before in this forum, you need to open this extensions.json file, and delete the items to prevent them from reappearing. PS: two caveats. 1) When copying your archived use ready search.json.mozlz4 you are likely to need to go to prefs and reassign your default search engine. Otherwise, GG (oh surprise) takes over. 2) the text for mojeek and brave in extensions.json will have changes in uid, as per your installation, so copy and paste over won't do the trick. you will have to find the code, and delete it manually)

    I downloaded it, but haven't fully tried it yet. MC-HC is not meant to be run as is (I reckon), unlike VLC. You can really tweak the hell out of MPC-HC, and get a depth of composition, filtering, shading and sound quality that I have made over the years and works for me to watch dvd-br in nearly home theater style. I could do that in the experimental build I linked better than with the official MPC-HC (at least until I could use it in my stri-naked in shinny leather XP -me frankestein in A4, so to speak).

    Like we all (I guess) knew, by going the chrome way, FF not only abandoned a vibrant addons community, but included a bunch of telemetry, to better serve us, laf. Three things to reduce/mitigate this behavior: 1- In your profile folder include an empty, extension-less file called "Datareporting". This prevents the creation of the folder. 2- We all have seen those pesky mojeek and brave search items popping in every now and then. You can delete them, but they comeback every nor and then, and are listed as extensions in about:support. Download the attached related file. Open extensions.json (from your profile) using notepad+++ (pspad freezes for some reason opening it). Copy and search for Look the code in brave, mojeek.txt file, and find the equivalent in extensions.json (they will have changes in ui, as per your installation, so copy and paste over won't do the trick). Once you found the code, delete it manually. Once you selected in this json (make sure they correspond perfectly, or modify as required. DELETE THOSE ITEMS FROM extensions.json. Brave and mojeek, bye bye. 3- Activate these (many hidden, some probably useless, but hey) items in user.js -or one by one using about:config. See included attachment. telemetry items for user.js brave, mojeek.txt

    And the proof is in the pudding, or something like that. Thanks, mate. BTW, looking at the code it seems very easy to change the order of the about items. I will try that.

    ON another note, setting user_pref("permissions.default.shortcuts", 2); , where 0 is default 1=allow 2=block prevents page overriding of FF shorcuts, but breaks delete and backspace. The immediate solution is setting this to 0. This dev claims he has a solution that allows you to prevent page overriding of FF shortcuts, while keeping delete and backspace functional. https://superuser.com/questions/1510447/delete-button-del-button-is-broken-in-firefox-when-sites-are-blocked-from-over

    Cool. I will try and see. As per XP can't do gpu processing, people keep saying things like that, the way it's said you can't run chrome 54+ in xp, you can't run firefox 52+, etc. etc. A combination of successful oligopolistic PR campaigns, and a Tobin like mix of laziness and pretended savvy. Not to include you in that group (I have great respect for what feodor you and others are doing, and enjoying the product of your efforts, thanks). But it could be done, limitedly between FF4 and FF51. Outside browsers, it could be done to watch videos/music using (at least) an experimental MPC-HC build at https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=161047 least) combined with lavcodecs rendering on Nvidia Cubid, and madhctrl. Nvidiaprofileinspector (another thing that now goes as "can't be run in XP") also helped. GPU processing was also used by statistical packages that require it to run large monte carlo simulations. Just sayin.
  20. dmiranda
    Yeah, I thought so. I will report if I manage to do so.Thanks.

    Hi @grey_rat! Can you give details on how to do this? I read and downloaded the stackoverflow files, but the instructions there are for chrome. Also, you may be interested in this. It used to work long ago, but probably is more related to sp52. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1297182

    To complete the report on customccsfx with @AstroSkipper's button: wunderbar. 9.7 out of 10 points, due to three minor cosmetic issues that I had not yet solved. 1- Moving the tab toollbar to the bottom leaves the close-maximize, minimize thinghie hanging half wayf off the screen (see first attached image). Nothing important, but aesthetically unpleasant. 2- The tab toollbar at the bottom doesn't pick up the lwtheme when using customccsfofx 3.3.2, but it kind of does it (it doesn't import it oin the right hand corner, with the window maximized) with 4.4.7. 3- Importing buttons_on_navbar_button_roundness.css makes buttons in the bar rounded. It does so by applying border-radius: 20px !important; to them. I took that line, and pasted it into line 33 of buttons_on_menubar_toolbar_classic_appearance.cc, into line 74 of buttons_on_navbar_classic_appearance.css (perhaps unnecessarily), and into line 61of buttons_on_tabs_toolbar_classic_appearance.css. In this last tabs toolbar, though, some of the @AstroSkipper's menus do get rounded up, but not others. See second attached image, with the memory minimization picking up the rounding (and being reduced accordingly) but not the "open about pages" button. Couldn't figure out why yet. Other than that, it does all I want. The only thing missing to my taste is the equivalent of menuedit, to get rid of context items not already included in customxxsfx 3.3.2, and to consolidate file-edit-view-bookmarks-tools-help menus the way I like them. Thanks!

    True that. I just grabbed the latest version to test. It works. I will now use yours and @roytam1's suggested version.

    Most 4k videos out there in YT can be downplayed to 1082. For a first shot, check https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=4k+youtube+videos Great for cultural or other activities with your besties, old scotch in hand and a cuban or 2 near you. Clintyon knew his stuff. Or was it Snoop dog? Anyway, vimeo and other fine tubes offter similar or better video quality than YT, using less resources, which says it all. Come party time, though, mofos prefer YT. I guess they like to be watched too, feeling like they are getting used and robbed, intellectually and all (laugh)... Oh well, 2pm. Time for a fine tea by the digital fire.
