@bookie32 -- after a whole page of derailment, did the above link solve your issue? the discussion in that link can very easily be converted to a desktop .bat file.

No. But more importantly, why the derailing of the OP's topic?

As far as I can tell, it is Thorium that is behaving identical to Ungoogled Chromium v114 as far as fonts on Digital Spy. But I'm unsure if they are doing what they are being "told" to do (at least as far as the first issue, you seem to have two issues here). In any programming language, there is always a degree of "junk in, junk out". You have two things going on. First, your style sheet is MISSING the closing }. Your style sheet should read - from body {font-family: unset !important; to body {font-family: unset !important;} (note that the only difference is the } at the very end. Thorium and Ungoogled v114 both seem to add this missing } "for you". Second, Digital Spy &/or Stylus is not applying your style sheet for "body" to "body h4" (unsure what the official CSS guideline is on this). In your style sheet for Digital Spy, change it - from body {font-family: unset !important;} to body, body * {font-family: unset !important;} (note the added , body * so we catch not only "body" but "body h4" and "body h2", both being used at Digital Spy)

You need to ask our Singapore IT "professionals" for the answer to that.

Are you testing on a "real" system? Or an "extended kernel" system?

For me, everything falls back to sans-serif. Unsure where it pulls this from because my system font settings should have it falling back to Tahoma. The font causing all the parsing errors is a "gstatic" font, which I wouldn't normally allow a connection to anyway (I block via uMatrix).

I am hereby GIVING UP COMPLETELY on Supermium! I do NOT have the patience of this thing pegging my CPU at 100% for two to four minutes at a time, wait 10 seconds, then peg again. While I continue to have "high hopes" for Supermium, this is by far the WORST browser I've ever ran! It will improve, I have no doubt about that! But THORIUM does not do this pegging for SEVERAL minutes at a time !!!

Second post on this page (page 2). Whether this is SP1, RTM, SP2, or whatever is unknown on my end. All I can tell you is that ALL of our factory machines that run Win7 or higher had this "feature" where if our maintenance crew unplugged a USB camera "thinking" that they knew what they were doing, our entire assembly line went down! It's also a corporate environment that the updates are performed by Singapore IT, no matter what country the factory floor sits in, it is Singapore IT that controls the updates. Updates were "rolled" in a very systematic process. Updates are technically "tested" by NOT rolling them out to the entire factory floor "all at once". This Win7 "feature" is an issue REGARDLESS of what rollout phase our updates are at. And yeah, just as our maintenance crew might "think" they know what they are doing, I will say the same for our Singapore IT department! Point is, ALL of our Win7 machines do NOT power off the USB port when the device plugged into that port is "removed".

Win7 required a registry hack to power down the USB port when the device connected to that port was "removed" via built-in removal. Google it, hundreds of articles on it. Here is but one of them -- https://winaero.com/fix-usb-device-remains-active-after-you-safely-eject-it-in-windows-7-or-windows-8/ Here is another -- https://www.groovypost.com/howto/windows-safely-remove-usb-devices-power-off/

I do not, nor ever have, used any "preload" functions. It's just a fancy way of saying "We are spying on you and trying to predict your next click, we will load our prediction in the background so that when you do make that click, we have half that page already loaded." Think about it, that means that if the "algorithm" made a WRONG PREDICTION, then the algorithm made a connection to a web site that you yourself never actually visited.

I did. I went from XP to 10. But still use ALL of my XP programs. No new programs other than now I use Ungoogled Chromium v114 as my web browser. Re: desktop shortcut -- https://superuser.com/questions/443162/remove-usb-device-from-command-line

Unsure if that is what the OP wants or not. But I do know that is why I do NOT use Windows built-in removal function ever since using Win7 on machines at work (removing USB-based Optical Inspection cameras forced machines to reset if removed while still POWERED). This was never an issue with Embedded XP. It IS an issue with Win7 and various versions of KDE (Linux). I cannot speak to whether Microsoft fixed this DESIGN FLAW with Vista/8/8.1/10/11.

Thanks. I personally disable WU and will also now be disabling these CTL updates. "My computer, my preference."

Intriguing. I'll see if I can find anything this evening. I'd be flagged by IT in three different countries if I so much as downloaded Supermium or Thorium here at work. Irony there is they've never noticed my 360Chrome 1030 but they did "slap my hand" when I tried 2044.

I have tried Privoxy. Hated it! May work for other's needs, but not mine.

Agreed! SNAKE OIL

Not a bug, it's a design flaw. That's how Windows 7 ejects a USB flash drive. That's how KDE (Linux) ejects a USB flash drive. XP will power down on eject without any third-party apps. Unsure on 10 as I migrated my USB Safely Remove from XP installations.

I use "USB Safely Remove" because I had it when I ran XP which was right up to just a month ago. It's a "must" for me because the built-in modern Windows USB eject does not power down the USB device first, the built-in will halt all read/write activity but it forces you to remove the USB device WHILE POWERED.

Why open any window at all? And why minimize anything you have open in order to access a desktop shortcut? What you want is a utility that sits in your systray next to the clock. Hover over the icon, eject USB. Takes two seconds with no windows at all and only one mouse click. Zentimo xStorage Manager is one such utility. I'm sure that others exist as well.

If it's a site you use all the time, a simple css replacement in something like Stylus is a very easy solution.

Email servers and communication protocols are "above my paygrade". My mantra is that if you are ONLINE, then your privacy is compromised. "End of story." We each, every one of us, has to decide just where to draw the line. On one extreme, you live in a hill, no phone service, no electricity, no running water, in a house weaved together from small tree limbs. On the other extreme, you're on FACEBOOK or TIKTOK but cite privacy or security "concerns" on web sites like MSFN.

Sending on a postcard is hilarious. Secure is secure only if all the players follow the rules. The last three "certified" letters I received via United States Postal Service were left at my house without so much as a SIGNATURE acknowledging receipt. H3ll, one of those three was left on my front door step where any light breeze could have sent it flying.

Bingo! I once had an ONLINE bank account try to DENY me an account because I *refused* to give them an email address for them to SOLICIT. I had to include THEIR corporate lawyers - it is ILLEGAL to conduct FINANCIAL BUSINESS over email, therefore you do NOT "need" my email address. NONE of my bank accounts have an email address!!! NONE of them. I do not need three emails telling me my statement is ready, four emails to confirm/verify a transfer between accounts, seven emails to solicit me into an account type I did not ask for, et cetera.
