    You may have simply posted your query (but then never returned to read it?) less than 24 hours too soon. Try the New Moon v28 version updated within the last 24 hours.

    Sweet! My water bill pay site works again in NM28! As does a Wordle word calculator (this has worked in NM28 but only since 2022-01-07, if my notes are correct [ie, it was not NC and OC that broke this web site]).

    ps - you should kind of tell us what OS and how much RAM you have when a question like this is asked.

    You have limited yourself to an inferior product and will have an inferior experience. It's kind of that easy. I used to be among the "Mozilla Only" crowd. Life has improved TENFOLD once I let go of that "bias".

    I'm not familiar with what a tor "exit" is, but I guess I can assume it falls within what US Law refers to as "aiding and abetting". I know folks (even here at MSFN) that were very much convinced that the "Tor Network" was the greatest thing since sliced bread as far as remaining "anonymous" on the internet. It's just hype and propaganda, in my opinion. If you want to be "connected", then don't for one solitary second think that you are "anonymous". Cloudflare DNS included. You simply shift the logs from one server to another, but the logs still exist. Heck, even DuckDuckGo will admit that. But ask a user of DuckDuckGo and they'll stand behind the hype until their hair falls out.

    I once knew a guy that ran a "Tor Network Server". I cannot claim to know "how" that works, but I do know the guy running that server would tell story after story of how many people were downloading illegal software and movies through his "server". He swore up and down that he could not be held liable for the illegal actions occurring on his "server". Again, cannot claim to know "how" that works. But I do suspect very highly that the people on this "Tor Network" had no clue that the owners of these "servers" had their IP Address and knew what they were downloading.

    And who is to say that your DNS records are safer in the hands of Cloudflare opposed to your own ISP? That's the propaganda I just don't buy into. I just believe, stongly, that if I were that "concerned" with my DNS queries, then I should sell the house and build a gingerbread house in the hills and live off of rain water, gooseberries, tree bark, wind, and solar.

    Reminds me of when I was right around 14 years old, I found the hiding place where Santa Clause stored some of our gifts under mom and dad's bed. I found a brand new VCR still in the box. Toted it to my room, opened up the box, grabbed my set of screwdrivers, and I had that thing disassembled into 20-30 pieces within the hour or so it took mom to catch me. She was at a total loss and made me go outside until dad got home from work. Dad gets home and hollers up to the treehouse where I was adding a new level, "Mom says you have something to show me." I climb down and walk him to my room, "I wanted to see how it works." His only reply, "As long as it still works when you put it back together." It did! And not only that, but mom and dad still have it!

    I only see raybuck DNS queries when my Proximitron Reborn fails to load that test site, no gitlab DNS queries. Are you thinking that I only need to bypass gitlab and then Proxomitron Reborn will at least access that test site?
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm not referring to Secure DNS (I do not use it and see it as "hype and propaganda"). I'm referring to Cloudflare "fingerprint" tests that some web sites will not let you visit until you demonstrate you are human by clicking on mountains, boats, traffic lights, bikes, et cetera. If you can visit the below website WITHOUT being asked to prove that you are human, then you are PASSING the Cloudflare browser checks. https://raybuck.com/firebird-vs-trans-am-history-trivia/
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    Sweet! I only wish there was a way to get Proxomitron Reborn to pass that Cloudflare check

    I haven't stumbled into any cases where ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy is "needed". I do not use Windows Updates and it seems that's really the only thing where there is a "need".

    Not me! ONE is my limit! Too much of the web has migrated to polyfill shenanigans that I've opted to revert from 360Chrome v11 to v13 build 2206. Just too much of a d#mn hassle to maintain browser profiles to have to do it for more than ONE. The only way I'd ever use "multiple" browser is if I did not use uMatrix + Tampermonkey + Proxomitron (replaces NoScript for my needs) + Stylus. If it were only about maintaining bookmarks, that would be one thing, but some times I feel like it's a full time job (8hr/day) just to maintain ONE browser profile. 8hr day times 3 browsers -- that's 24hrs per day. Nope, not gonna happen!

    It's buried pretty deep, but there is an option to return the start menu from the center and place it back at the left where it is suppposed to be. I cannot claim to have tried it, but most of the settings like that are simple registry keys that still work regardless of the settings GUI being blocked due to not being activated yet.

    I wouldn't go that far. Why keep extension log files that may have telemetry data embedded in them? All that "upstream" did with anything newer than v13 build 2206 is shuffle around where telemetry data is stored. I personally do not trust anything higher. Most users of v13.5 jump through added hoops of deleting all of these embedded data using special tricks with folder/file naming and with the loader .ini file. These users do not save sessions, passwords, and cookies. If the end user is wanting their profile to save sessions, passwords, and cookies, then I would encourage those users to UPGRADE to v13 build 2206 - version numbers being MATHEMATICALLY higher is NOT always an "upgrade". v13.5 is not an "upgrade" over v13.
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    No clue, to be honest, kind of totally at the discretion of the end user. I use an AutoIt script to completely recreate my profile within any version of 360Chrome. I do not keep sessions, passwords, and cookies. I don't generally advocate "migrating" an existing profile between browser versions, be it 360Chrome, PM, NM, St, Mypal, et cetera.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    I personally wouldn't be surprised if even more "surfaces". There really is no beneficial gain in v13.5 over v13. All that was technically changed "upstream" is WHERE the telemetry is stored. v13.5 mangles telemetry data in with extension data and makes it much more difficult to prevent (especially for those that prefer to keep cookies or passwords from one session to the next). I personally would not suggest v13.5 for daily use for anyone that keeps cookies or passwords.

    I know, I saw that. I remain optimistic towards Mypal 68. I am at the point where I acknowledge that my own optimism was perhaps overly optimistic and I am no longer seeing Mypay 68 as the fix-all that I originally perceived it to be. Still early in development so too early to know for sure.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not true! My water bill pay site is always my test and it requires 360Chrome v13 or higher. It does not work in Mypal 68!

    Agreed! I am in the same camp! You're not crazy! Vista and Win7 literally give me migraines. For me, it's not blue light and it's not screen brightness. It's red and green "pixels" dancing and gyrating and flashing in the "corners" of font edges. It's six to nine color shades being used to create text and my eyes can SEE all six to nine color shades and the eyes constantly try to perform a presise focus on where one color shade turns into a close-but-not-identical color shade! It's called "sub-pixel anti-aliased" font rendering, sometimes just called "font smoothing" and I have to jump through hoops to elliminate all presence of it - both OS-level and browser-level. I can "tolerate" Win7 and Win10 only if Segoe UI font is "substituted" via the registry and anti-aliased fonts are completely disabled and prevented from being used at the browser level. I think there were class-action lawsuits against Microsoft at the time, but I didn't follow them as I quickly reverted to XP and still use it as my daily driver. I only use Win7 and Win10 on a 55" 4K TV for various 3D CAD (not a gamer!) and sit 10' away from the screen, so no issues under that scenario.

    Agreed! That really and truly is the only end possible with an ecosystem that revolves around "nightly" and "weekly" updates. You cannot properly and adequately "test" software with that release schedule. Your user-base does the "testing" for you. Oten resulting in bugs from six months ago being buried very deep because it took six months for the user-base to find it.

    What does this mean? A build "without" SSE? A build "for" SSE?
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    You'd have to do it manually, so you'd know.
