I have not tried the Plus edition. I assumed constant "nag screens" for the Plus versus the Free. But it also falls under one of those things I will "experiment" with but not keep. The LESS running in the background the BETTER.

My Browser Builds (Part 4)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Mozilla browsers have a global userstyle capability, or they at least used to. Unsure if NM28 has a global userstyle or not. I prefer the addon route (Stylish, Stylem, Stylus). I don't use the latest-and-greatest though and I don't recall from memory, but one of them was forked due to privacy rights concerns with the original. -
Looks like a "bait and tackle" to me. I'm not biting.

I am more worried about "buy" versus "by". But I'm also knot won two point out spelling ore grammar Miss Takes. waka waka waka

@Milkinis - I kindly request that you please remove that link. chromium.woolyss and/or github repos shall be our only referenced links. Thanks.
-
I'm not anywhere nearly as concerned on the version number. Moving on for now, version numbering is a bit of a hijack.

My Magic Eight Ball says three.

So far, I'm not interested in anything newer than 114. But it has to be ungoogled. May have to drop all the way down to 94 or 97 depending on what flags are kept. Official Ungoogled does an AWESOME JOB at maintaining flags that are dropped upstream. I am skeptic that Thorium or Supermium will do as great. But like you say, Supermium is only a month old so "fingers crossed".
-
Oh. I knew it was mentioned and I upvoted because Client Hints should be disabled.
-
UNGOOGLED is a MUST. If you have the means to request this on Supermium, by all means, you have my strong encouragement to do so. I myself will NOT use EITHER ONE until there is an UNGOOGLED version. edit - Client Hints disabled (as you suggested in one of your posts) is a strong encouragement as well. I "think" the author only hosts a LINK to warez and not the actual warez. IRRELEVANT to me, per se. I'm smart enough (ie, "net savvy") to not click those links or download that CRAP. chromium.woolyss is a TRUSTED source even if the AUTHOR'S web site is "questionable". I kind of see this as MSFN being a TRUSTED source but several MEMBERS of MSFN having their own web sites which don't need to follow MSFN's "guidelines".
-
For those following Supermium (which does not [yet?] have an UNGOOGLED version), you may be interested in knowing that Thorium is now being distributed via the same channels as Ungoogled Chromium. Unsure if this also means that an UNGOOGLED Thorium is on the horizon. It is only offered as an x64 and my Win7 is x86 so I have not tried it yet but it is on my To Do List. Whether the future be Supermium or Thorium is kind of still up-in-the-air as far as my needs - UNGOOGLED is a must for me.

Any post showing the Proxomitron logo gets an upvote from me!

I don't remember what all came with my Norton Utilities, but I copied only the Norton WinDoctor portion to a USB stick and still run it every once in a while to clean out the Windows Registry.
-
AGREED! AS AM I (I can't use XP at work, obviously, but two of three daily-used PCs run XP here at home, the third runs Win7). If this wasn't "mixed in" with the rest of that post, I'd give you a green sticker to place on the refrigerator (that's all they are worth but the forum admins have every right to enable this feature). Heck, I can think of one, maybe two past members, that were RAN OFF OF MSFN for their use of the "like" button. I can think of at least seven "members" (myself included!) that I would personally challenge to NOT POST ANY LIKES OR UPVOTES FOR THE REMAINDER OF AUGUST. But I already know which ones would be "against" and even which ones would be "for" - so why bother. A "challenge" to see who can last the longest, lol.
-
I'm in the middle I run XP but only "experiment" with anti-virus - have yet to discover a true "need" to run one in the background "all the time".
-
At the bare minimum, it has been abundantly clear that OVER 95% of the "likes" and "upvotes" in these XP antivirus threads come from "members" that not only do not run XP, but also do not run antivirus on their non-XP. I cite again the average age (don't care if you're not over 40, I cite the average), makes me think this is what the early stages of Alzheimer's looks like, all of us talking to ourselves and thinking others are listening. The vast majority of "likes" and "upvotes" have more to do with political spectrum agreeance than actual topic/post "content" - Ooh, Professor X just posted something, I better sign in and hit the Like Button!
-
I personally do not think actual threats even exist! Not for the net-savvy MSFNer. I also don't think anybody here uses those antivirus threads to actually pick an antivirus product and start using it. I am in the camp that nobody here at MSFN (aside from maybe THREE of us) actually run antivirus. But what do I know?

Definitely bad web design. But it's not like we can blame "modern web" for that design. https://caniuse.com/?search=css animation -

Agreed. Even enabling HA (I prefer disabled by default) for 360Chrome in Win7 had no effect. -

On my Win7 quad-core at the moment and you can see the CPU drop as soon as I turned off that STUPID animation. -

I'm pretty sure that for XP it is done by the CPU no matter what, there is no offloading to GPU. -
I don't think you are seeing the bigger picture. It's all about FLOPS. Or Giga Flops (GFLOPS). Remember that most of us here are using computers 10 to 20+ years old, most of us don't see the need to run top-of-the-line brand-new gaming PCs. Xbox 360 is 18 years old. The Xbox 360 was rated at 240 GFLOPS. PlayStation 3 is 17 years old. The PlayStation 3 was rated at 230 GFLOPS. PlayStation 4 is 10 years old and is rated at 1843 GFLOPS. Xbox One X is 6000 GFLOPS. PlayStation 5 is 10,280 GFLOPS. Xbox Series X is 12,000 GFLOPS. On average, a mid-range Intel Core i7 processor can perform around 100-200 GFLOPS (billion floating-point operations per second). An i3 is only 110-120 GFLOPS. Yes, an 18yr old Xbox 360 can beat the living tar out of any "modern" i3, i5, or i7 !!!

Agreed! Been blocking them for years. I also block "box-shadows". Tons of box shadows on a page seems to effect scrolling smoothness so I just disable all of them. -
For those trying to follow the XP antivirus/firewall thread(s), may I ask which program you are using? I have given Windows 10 Firewall Control Free XP a trial-run and it seems okay and LIGHTWEIGHT. I have "never" been a fan of antivirus because they have always SLOWED DOWN MY COMPUTER (afterall, we are talking older computers). I would like a "small list" of antivirus programs that the followers of the antivirus/firewall thread IS ACTUALLY USING and I'd like to perform some actual "performance comparisons" (ie, effect on actual computer "speed").

wallapop is failing at Intl.NumberFormat. Chrome supports it since version 24 for most sub-features and since version 64 for other sub-features. There are some sub-features not supported until Chrome version 106 but I am not seeing them being used at wallapop (I do not have my normal debug tools available here at work). What browser are you using in Win7 and does it show up as "green" here - https://caniuse.com/?search=intl.numberformat
