Interesting. Technically, I modify ALL of my extensions (disable any phone-home shenanigans, disable any auto-update, defuse any timebombs, customize GUI, modify descriptions, remove any "donate for beer fund" frat-mentality nags, et cetera). But I don't recall any 'declarativeNetRequest' permission issue with "I Still Don't Care About Cookies". My work-version manifest.json has the below, unsure if my home-version is identical or not. <excerpt> "permissions": [ "tabs", "storage", "http://*/*", "https://*/*", "notifications", "webRequest", "webRequestBlocking", "webNavigation" ], </excerpt>

I'm fairly certain that I've seen that tidbit of telemetry in Mypal 27, New Moon 27, and New Moon 28 over the years. If I recall, it also creates a file or folder in your profile with the name "telemetry" right in the name.

I already know how to de-timebomb without visiting GitHub. I would advise against sharing or "teaching" how to de-timebomb here at MSFN. That would fall under the same classification as violating an Operating System's activation and MSFN is not here to violate PAID-FOR software licenses. To the best of my knowledge (I don't follow the project), but the discussed browser is planned to be pay-ware (I think that's a word). There is a market for pay-ware modern browsers on XP, so I wish the best of success to the creator. Though I add that I wish the best of success to Supermium also. And to Mypal 68. And everything else out there, lol.

I thought it was Aug 1, 2024... Wait a few months and it works again... Timebomb again Aug 1, 2025... Wait a few months and it works again... Timebomb again Aug 1, 2026... "Rinse and Repeat"...

Version 1.1.1

Agreed, ridiculous. Though I would not classify that as "one month old" -- Firefox 52.9 was released June of 2018. 52.0 was March 2017. To a "user agent sniff", they see something FIVE AND A HALF YEARS OLD, not "one month old".

I have "learned" how to politely be "passive aggressive" with people on their mobile phones. Just yesterday during my lunch break, there was a line of 6 or 7 or so folks in front of me. The two directly in front of me were two young ladies in their early 20s or so. One of the two kept lifing her mobile phone every FORTY TO FIFTY SECONDS. And yes, I timed it !!! Just to tap the screen, scroll up on her app, see NO NEW POSTS, then flick the screen off and drop it to her waist. Only to REPEAT another FORTY TO FIFTY SECONDS later. See NO NEW POSTS. Then flick the screen off again. She repeated that BS for SIX MINUTES. And yes, I timed it !!! I laughed at her and she smiled and grinned and asked what was so funny. I politely chimed, "Do you see that thing as an ADDICTION, like any DRUG that RUINS people's lives?" She chuckled and nodded agreeingly and she never looked at the screen again for at least FOUR more minutes as we hit the front of the line. I could all but SEE the sweat rolling from her forehead, WANTING to lift that d#mn thing every FORTY TO FIFTY SECONDS but AFRAID to because the person standing in line behind her just told her she is no different than a DRUG ADDICT.

Agreed! I've been of the same thought for the past couple of years. I heavily modify my Serpent 52 and the ability to modify-to-liking 360Chrome is why I don't see myself ditching either it or Serpent 52 for a very long time. I have dipped my toe into Mypal 68 also, but I haven't fully vetted it yet in comparison to Serpent 52.

What's your uBO matrix look like?

You need to polyfill the Object.hasOwn function. // ==UserScript== // @name Inject Object.hasOwn() Polyfill [93] // @version 0.0.1 // @match *://*/* // @run-at document-start // @grant none // ==/UserScript== if (!Object.hasOwn) { Object.defineProperty(Object, "hasOwn", { value: function (object, property) { if (object == null) { throw new TypeError("Cannot convert undefined or null to object") } return Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(Object(object), property) }, configurable: true, enumerable: false, writable: true }) }

Can you show us your "error console"?

I'd suspect nullish coalescing operators at equally.ai also. This is actually quite clever, if you ask me. Use nullish coalescing operators in your "cookie consent" javascript so that people using browsers that do not support nullish coalescing operators "think" they are setting a cookie-consent setting but in fact are not.

Ah, your original post sited equalli.ai and so I only hunted for that within the trendmicro scripts and of course did not find equalli.ai with an "i" versus with a "y". Already at work now so don't have my "utilities" at hand.

That's what it is, the trendmicro site is using "hundreds" of nullish coalescing operators (??) that Firefox 52.9 does not support! Which is also to me the PERFECT EXAMPLE of WHY some of us INTENTIONALLY like to use OLDER BROWSERS and dislike the constant thumping of "why are you using Browser X, it's already 3 months old"

I don't get any calls to equalli.ai. But the site works for me because I do block the several third-party scripts. Which I assumed that uBO did by default? (I do not use uBO and highly prefer uMatrix) It should also be pointed out that the trendmicro website is VERY POORLY WRITTEN. It is improper HTML Coding to place scripts ABOVE the head tag. And this site has FIVE of them - THREE alone pertaining to "cookie consent". (which I block via "I still don't care about cookies" extension but these don't make it past third-party scripts already being blocked)

I would actually guess the other way around. That Firefox 52.9 is seeing some form of script that it simply doesn't recognize.

Have not digged into it yet but I'm suspecting cross-site / cross-origin (which I don't think Chrome v49 can even "distinguish" and would have to research if NM28/St52 can "distinguish"). Would also be a reason why Incognito with uBO enabled also has success. I kinda can't dig into until over the weekend or so. But my gut-feeling is cross-site / cross-origin.

Works for me - but only if traffic is flowing through Proxomitron (bypassed or not doesn't matter). My hunch is that it's "certificate-related". But can't prove it from here at work.

Working in my 13.5.1030 also. No clue whose 360Chrome is pictured above Dixel's (which I have also but perhaps not up-to-date) - the "speedup" and "themes" icons in the lower right corner are none of my versions.

Normal. So does Ungoogled Chromium, so does Serpent 52, those were the only two I tried before leaving the house. If you don't want stuff happening in the background, and forgive the Captain Obvious statement, then you must NOT keep things open in the background. It's that simple. When you are not "using" a program, CLOSE IT.

You are not fully understanding what "Process Profiling" is and there is a reason that Process Monitor does not enable this by default for non-advanced users.

Not true.

I know, I use Ungoogled. I abandoned Supermium when it became perfectly clear that "ungoogled" is not in its future. But on the "portable" front and LOGGED-IN SESSIONS carrying from one computer to the next, folks have been "debating" that for over THIRTY years! It is "neat" that Ungoogled found a way around that when creator-defined "portable" browsers have 'overlooked' that for DECADES. But it's also a "feature" that I do not use nor do I want. That is why we have HUNDREDS of different browsers to choose from, "one size will NEVER fit all".

I have never allowed ANY web browser to "keep passwords", so this it technically does not do - but I also DO NOT want it to. But YES, all of my extensions and all of my extensions' settings carry from one computer to the next. If you are familiar with "ThinStall" (or was it called "ThinApp"?) from a decade or so ago, that's basically what JauntePE is. It can "portablize" pretty much anything - but there is a learning curve. I also have JauntePE'd versions of every version of Microsoft Office dating back to 1995. Well, "every" version that I own - '95, '97, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, and 2010. Haven't tried to JauntePE-ify Office 365 (kind of doubt that is possible).

I've already completely "portablized" Supermium but it's still completely useless to me since it will not be offering an "ungoogled" version. To "portablize" I use an oldie but goodie called JauntePE which I put in the same class as Proxomitron (ie, too complex for anybody that hasn't already heard of them).
