    I definitely do here! I've reverted to using "AdBlock — best ad blocker" running ONE list in conjuction with uBO running only FIVE lists. The "AdBlock — best ad blocker" apparently blocks YouTube ads differently because uBO will SHOW the ad for a split second, if not more, before skipping the ad. uBO will prevent the ad from PLAYING but it still SHOWS the ad. At least for Chromium-based.
  2. NotHereToPlayGames
    Okay, working now. (sorry for the derail, lol) Using uBO only (instead of that extra ad blocker) enables me to prevent my lists from AUTO-UPDATING. I prefer to MANUALLY update my lists (auto-updates will "flag" IT at work).

    Thanks. I definitely need to experiment. I build my profile here at home and use my fully portable profile also at work. I only use YouTube at work for "background noise". Work computer will let me run my portable browser, but it somehow blocks installing extensions directly, so I install them at home and zip-and-send the whole browser.

    I definitely prefer NOT to. I'll keep experimenting. I was really attempting to AVOID having a GIGANTIC number of lists (ie, I was trying to keep the number lists UNDER SIX).
  5. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm going to keep my current setup. I only need *ONE* list to block YouTube ads but it is not a uBO list, it's ONE list inside "AdBlock - best ad blocker". It defeats the purpose if I need to extend my FIVE uBO lists to TWENTY-SOME lists. My five uBO + one "AdBlock - best ad blocker" seems just fine for my needs. If your list would have worked for uBO to block YouTube ads by using six or seven lists instead of five but one extension instead of two, that would have been a step in the right direction. But jumping my 5 lists up to 20-some, nope, I'll pass. But thanks again for the suggested TWO lists, but no, adding those two lists did not prevent the need for my one extra extension.
  6. NotHereToPlayGames
    Didn't work but thanks for providing the list info.
  7. NotHereToPlayGames
    When you HOVER OVER your YouTube-AdBlocker-Filter, can you show me what the status bar shows as the SOURCE of the list?
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    I cannot use your mod uBO Legacy, it is for Mozilla-based and I run Chromium-based. Seems the LISTS between uBO-Mozilla and uBO-Chromium are DIFFERENT. I see nothing called "quick fixes" and nothing called "goodbyeads-youtube".
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    A tad OT, but what lists are you guys using in uBO? I import my lists because I rebuild my profile often and I disable my internet during profile creation, these are the lists I'm using: But they do not block YouTube ads so I rely on a separate extension called "AdBlock — best ad blocker", version 5.22.0, with one and only one list:

    I was on 'bare metal' XP until only just about a month and a half or so ago. I gave up on XP. I felt like a dog chasing a flea on the tip of my tail, constantly running in circles and never catching that flea. The last straw for me was my checking account web site would no longer run on XP + 360Chrome.

    I have ran (in VM only) some Thorium releases in the past. LONG before Supermium was ever a thing! I did find Thorium to be STABLE. Even with only 2GB RAM allocated to the VM. Like it or not, Supermium is simply NOT THERE -- *yet* I personally don't mind, in the least, viewing Thorium EXACTLY as we did 360Chrome "in the days of forgotten lore". Nobody trusted 360Chrome in the beginning either. It was MSFN Members that evolved it into something we were comfortable with. Logging its every connection, hex editing .dll's, customizing GUI, et cetera. Nothing wrong, in the least, with doing the same to Thorium... And Supermium... Show a screen cap of Thorium making a questionable connection. The "throw granny from the cliffs" scare tactic approach isn't doing anybody any good.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    I do not install bundled fonts to the OS so my Supermium still shows the same boxes as the Edge screencap above. I do not need what I think of as a PHONE FONT installed on my DESKTOP computer. To each their own, of course.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    I would add that Thorium has existed longer than Supermium. I have not used it but I cannot claim to have really used Supermium either - I launch Supermium to TRY to use it, it pegs the CPU at 100%, tends to make its way out of the 100%, only to resume 100% a minute or two later, I throw the computer out the living room window, I visit a local retailer to replace the computer, then a local window shop to replace the living room window.
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    Those are not technically "icons" (which imply images), but a FONT where each "letter" of the font is a "glyph". You are blocking a "remote font" so you are getting a "square" instead of the "font LETTER".
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    I can tell you that from my experience, the "disappearing fonts" in 360Chrome were *always* when the font-size .css attribute was in *em* units instead of something like *px*. This also is true of your Pale Moon forum "Register", "Login", and "Unread posts" links, the font-size is in *em*. "Flex containers" also seem to be an issue that also causes "disappearing fonts" in XP. At the time, I used a Tampermonkey script to convert any-and-all *em* font-size's to *px* and I never encountered any "disappearing font" afterwards.

    Unsure where to report this so I shall report here. This *MEMBER* is clearly a SPAM account. No actual spam POSTS per se, but the entire "membership" is clearly spam-bot. Member profile = https://msfn.org/board/profile/440850-techwalmart/ ie, look at the "contact method" and the "about me" content of this non-member "member".

    The Russian VPN ban is not a blanket ban on VPN usage. It is a ban on using VPN's to access web sites that are prohibited in Russia. Russia does not prohibit citizens from being MSFN members. MSFN blocking Russian IP Addresses is entirely different - MSFN does not ban any member from access MSFN via VPN, regardless of country of origin. You guys are seeing things through a narrow prism and interpreting things your own way. Feel free to discuss with a lawyer. Saxon, no you are not breaking any laws. Indicating that Xao_Fan-Tzilin is breaking laws is where you are wrong here. I'm done. Some times it is easier to debate with a brick wall then it is to "discuss" with people already of a set mindset.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Sorry, Saxon. You are using this VPN ban out of context. Only if MSFN is prohibited in Russia is Xao_Fan-Tzilin (edit: had wrong name before edit) breaking any laws. Is MSFN prohibited in Russia? I don't know, nor care. But unless MSFN itself is prohibited, then Saxon is legally allowed by law in his own country to access MSFN via VPN. That said, I personally feel that MSFN should not allow VPN access, but that is an MSFN decision.

    I wouldn't call it "safety", more along the lines of "privacy". One school of thought is "I'm not doing anything 'wrong', let them collect all the data they want". The other school of thought is "I was fired for saying something online, after hours, not work-related, not even a high-traffic web site, but the boss didn't agree with my statement".
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed as far as other countries. I was answering an enquiry from a fellow USA member.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    True. I guess I kind of see these two as one in the same. I guess the difference is whether my ISP knows if I visit MSFN or if I download illegal content via Torrent or Onion.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Your ISP knows your traffic whether or not you use their DNS resolver or somebody else's DNS resolver, be that through your web browser, your OS, or your routers DNS capabilities. So you can either do it all through your ISP or you set a different DNS and now you've DOUBLED the amount of "data" collected 'in your name' because now your ISP and that third-party DNS has logged your every move.
