Well, um, while I agree, there's so much to say here that I'm not going to waste "too much" of my time, just a little to "feed the beast" and get it off my chest. First, yeah, I used startpage about a decade or two ago and stopped because of ADS !!! But I'm smarter today about things like uBO and Stylus that while they may not "block" all of the ads (and telemetry tracking), they do keep them OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND. Second, and no offense, but all of the "just for profit" 'talk' here at MSFN as a whole kind of TICKS ME OFF !!! Without profit of some degree, we may as well all be living in the SIXTEEN HUNDREDS !!! (I'm not technically sure what century to use, but you get the idea.) Where are we gonna draw the line? I can point to AT LEAST a *DOZEN* posts here at MSFN biatching and moaning about "profits". WTF!? Is MSFN a "talk about technology" forum? Or a biatch and moan about politics &/or different styles of socio-economics? ??? ??? ??? Like SERIOUSLY, the FIRST person to "say that" here at MSFN should be PATTING HIMSELF ON THE BACK because "profits" have leaked into ALL TOPICS. Congratulations! Your anti-profit stance has gone VIRAL! !!! !!! !!! Don't INTENTIONALLY misread that! There IS a difference between X% profits versus Y% profits. But again, live in the DARK AGES if "profits" p#ss you off so much !!! If you don't like "profits", then don't live in a HOUSE (the GREEDIEST of all industries!), don't own a computer or phone, don't own a car, live NAKED and not wear clothes unless your yourself grew the cotton, loomed it into a fabric, and needle-and-thread'd it into shirts, pants, socks, and undergarments, don't eat at restaurants EVER, don't buy groceries to feed your family, don't ever give money to a CHURCH, just live under a bridge somewhere and solicit every passerby to feed you for the day. Don't ever ask them where they got the dollar they just GAVE YOU, just take it from them with a SMILE on your "greedy" face for wanting THEIR lifestyle able to feed not only themselves, but also FEED YOU. </rant over>

Interesting! Though I am surprised that INSTALLS are up. I tried the DDG "browser" and HATED IT! I do love their NON-AI search -- ht tps://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=<string>

Appears to have already been reported: https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/issues/182

That (to me) DEFINITELY is tied to the "Title Bar" checkbox doing NOTHING in r3d 151.02. It's as if the "Title Bar" HEIGHT is set to ZERO or something to that effect. It appears CSS-related to me.

I only tried in XP (failed) and 11. In 11, when you right-click to customize, the "Title Bar" checkbox seems to do absolutely nothing. Unsure if it did anything in previous versions. edit: just checked in previous versions and this checkbox DOES work in previous versions Unsure if that is related to your issue or not, the Menu Bar looks the same to me in both versions. Are you having this issue ONLY when using your Luna XP Theme inside of Win7 ???

Your screencap "looks like" XP. So I tried to run r3d in XP and it doesn't work. Is that XP? Or something "made to look" like XP?

Well, it is called a Japanese Thai Hack. And that ad is for some "Japanese Trick".

Wow! I use Stylus and uBO both to prevent the ads and ad containers here at MSFN. I do that because some of the ads would get me FIRED if female coworkers took them out of context. I just disabled, reloaded the page, and got the below! Now then, imagine what a female coworker would think if she saw this but was standing too far away to read it was about Sleep Apnea.

I don't have a Facebook account (*zero* "social media" for me, can you imagine my OT-ish-ness on any of those types of sites, lol). BUT... Sounds to me like there is an *EASY* solution -- convert Facebook's "infinite scroll" to a PAGED VIEW instead. This is sctrictly AI-Generated, but using AI has always been a good STARTING POINT for me, but will require a Facebook account to test and adjust accordingly: // ==UserScript== // @name Facebook Scroll to Pages // @namespace https://example.com/ // @version 1.0 // @description Replace Facebook infinite scroll with manual page navigation // @match https://www.facebook.com/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function () { 'use strict'; // Configuration const POSTS_PER_PAGE = 10; // Number of posts per page let currentPage = 1; let posts = []; // Utility: Create navigation buttons function createNavButtons() { const nav = document.createElement('div'); nav.style.position = 'fixed'; nav.style.bottom = '10px'; nav.style.right = '10px'; nav.style.zIndex = '9999'; nav.style.background = 'white'; nav.style.padding = '8px'; nav.style.border = '1px solid #ccc'; nav.style.borderRadius = '5px'; nav.style.fontSize = '14px'; const prevBtn = document.createElement('button'); prevBtn.textContent = 'Previous'; prevBtn.disabled = true; prevBtn.onclick = () => changePage(currentPage - 1); const nextBtn = document.createElement('button'); nextBtn.textContent = 'Next'; nextBtn.style.marginLeft = '5px'; nextBtn.onclick = () => changePage(currentPage + 1); nav.appendChild(prevBtn); nav.appendChild(nextBtn); document.body.appendChild(nav); return { prevBtn, nextBtn }; } // Change page function changePage(page) { if (page < 1) return; const totalPages = Math.ceil(posts.length / POSTS_PER_PAGE); if (page > totalPages) return; currentPage = page; renderPage(); // Update button states navButtons.prevBtn.disabled = currentPage === 1; navButtons.nextBtn.disabled = currentPage === totalPages; } // Render posts for current page function renderPage() { posts.forEach((post, index) => { const start = (currentPage - 1) * POSTS_PER_PAGE; const end = start + POSTS_PER_PAGE; post.style.display = (index >= start && index < end) ? '' : 'none'; }); } // Stop infinite scroll function disableInfiniteScroll() { window.onscroll = null; document.addEventListener('scroll', e => e.stopImmediatePropagation(), true); } // Initialize script function init() { disableInfiniteScroll(); // Collect posts posts = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[role="article"]')); if (posts.length === 0) return; renderPage(); } const navButtons = createNavButtons(); // Wait for posts to load const observer = new MutationObserver(() => { const newPosts = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[role="article"]')); if (newPosts.length !== posts.length) { posts = newPosts; renderPage(); } }); observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true }); // Run after initial load window.addEventListener('load', init); })();

That has already been DENIED by @Tripredacus and @xper way back in March: https://msfn.org/board/topic/187750-sometimes-redirecting-to-spamgamble-site-when-accessing-msfnorgboard/page/4/#findComment-1285830 They are IN DENIAL that the problem is ON THEIR SERVER, they have PUBLICLY said so. And they "refuse" to admit that they were WRONG in that assessment.

Agreed... But remember, this was brought to their attention in FEBRUARY !!! We *HAVE* been patient! VERY patient!

You have your "tactics". I have mine. I really don't think it MATTERS anymore. That IS my FACT-BASED OBJECTIVE VIEW.

I am kind of waiting for them to LOCK THIS THREAD. Still not give any ANSWER. But LOCK THIS THREAD and see "that" as the only answer they "owe" us.
