music.youtube.com definitely does not work for me. hmmm

Oh, but by your screencap, you are SIGNED IN. I don't have a YouTube account. Can you visit music.youtube without being signed in?

Hmm. I'll have to try at home. Here at work, certain domains are blocked. YouTube is not blocked, so it would surprise me that music.youtube would be blocked.

Found it. music.youtube.com forces IE Kernel.

I can confirm only partially functional. I'm unable to get it to crash or go into IE Kernel Mode (but I'm also on Win10 until later this evening). I have seen a web site in the past "force" IE Kernel Mode and I wish I would have bookmarked as I would prefer to disable any "automatic" kernel switching!

To me, it seems to be more of a lifestyle philosophy. The only people I've ever met that think running XP is "stupid" are people that upgrade their mobile phones once or twice a year. They have to have the "latest and greatest" and are too blind to see that mindset being why they live paycheck to paycheck and have no savings of any kind.

I have a version of Paint Shop Pro from the early 90s running on a Commodore 64. The C64 used an analog Channel 3 output and we used Paint Shop Pro to create our own "menus" on our old VHS tapes. The menu would tell you how far to fast-forward the tape "counter" for the start of Ghostbusters, for example. The real Ghostbusters from '84 and '89, not whatever you call these "remakes".

I learned Latin. But please, for the sake of Deus Omnipotens, let us not include ourselves (you and I) within the rank (singular case double entendre intended) of the small handful of Grammar Police here at MSFN. I "see" typos and grammar mistakes all the time - do we really want MSFN to evolve into the atmosphere where 80+ percent of our "content" is a small handful of these, these, or these?

So you're NOT using anything like Stylus? I view this along the same as Firewalls in the XP thread. A fully functional firewall serves its purpose whether it is 2 weeks old or 20 years old. To me, "no longer maintained" is just a Red Herring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring (of course, I realize that capitalizing it may bring upon the outspoken MSFN-Killer Grammar Police... don't care, life is too short...) Does uBlock Origin have that zoom-in capability? I myself use Proxomitron for that zoom-in, but it is far too complicated for most and you won't find it on the Chrome Web Store.

EVERYBODY knows that. I will still forever refer to it as n and u - because those letters are on my keyboard and life is too short to fetch the Greek. And if all we are going to do is CORRECT trivial matters - it's GREEK, not Greak!

What is your 5 pros and 5 cons for each? I've used uMatrix and nMatrix for several years and all I ever hear around here is uBO, uBO, uBO. But being accustomed to uMatrix and nMatrix (I think there was an eMatrix at one point in time), every time I tried uBO I felt it to be inferior... by a very very wide margin.

I'd even go one step further. What percentage of internet users roll with "active" extensions versus "passive" extensions. uMatrix is "active", requires the end user to create their own rules. uBlock Origin is "passive", runs in the background and strives for no user-interaction whatsoever, to the point that some users FORGET it's even there and never think that their current web site is "broken" because of uBlock Origin's decisions made "for" the user.

You won't have the memory leaks once you strip it down. Not for the faint of heart, it is a tedious process and you won't get it right the first time. But none of my Linux versions have ever worked right the first time either - so it boils down to whether your heart is in it to get it working or not, if your heart isn't in it, you'll give up way too easily. Proxomitron is another one, a great deal of power but a steep learning curve where far too many give up way too easily.

There is a minor auto-update .cab being fetched but I will likely wait unti the Chrome Web Store basically blocks us before unploading a "rebuild 2" of v13.5.2036. Whether the timeline is close enough or not is a matter of personal perspective, Manifest V3 is out there even if it has become a moving target. At that point in time, there will also no longer be any need for the "regular" version and we will drop to only an "ungoogled" version. For those that wish to block the auto-update .cab connection, open chrome.dll in HxD and search for cseupdate (there is only 1 occurrence). Replace the http directly in front of it with hxxp to block the .cab connection.

No need. I was coneying a story, nothing more, nothing less. It's not the story itself that turned this discussion sour. I'm not taking any side in what followed. I've got better fish to fry, as one of the characters in a Batman movie once said. Or was it Catwoman?

While on the topic of mental awareness, mental acuity, cognitive reasoning, postwar generation, et cetera - a small story -- I personally refer to the "Baby Boom" generation as the "Entitlement Starters". Don't shoot the messenger if this "title" offends, I am not here to offend but share a perspective. The world is best when we all learn from other's perspectives. "Walk a mile in my shoes." If this new title does "offend", you should ask yourself why did you just jump to the defensive? Don't let that "defense mechanism" of jumping to the defensive blind you from what I am sharing. First, "you" is a collective pronoun, I direct it towards no one person, it's just a pronoun. My dad was not a Baby Boomer, he predates that generation by half a decade, but he himself preferred to be lumped in with the Baby Boomer - I was able to break him free from that mindset but it took years, and that's too much to write herein. He saw politicians spoon-feeding and cradling the Baby Boom generation and he wanted his piece of the pie - in a way, don't we all? Keeping this "short" will not convey the full picture. Between dad and I, those conversations revolved around dad not blaming the Gen X generation for the woes of this world, but Gen Y and Millennials. And he almost always cast that blame with the same choice of words - "A kid is not ENTITLED to a trophy just for competing, the winner deserves a trophy, not the loser" "Why do kids these days feel they are ENTITLED to their first car being GIVEN to them" "What ENTITLES every child above the age of 12 to own a cell phone" et cetera, the word ENTITLE was almost ALWAYS embedded in this older generation casting judgment upon the younger generation I requested dad to keep a notebook at his computer and truly watch television ads over the next week and particularly focus on each and every time he heard the word ENTITLEMENT. Here in the USA, those commercials were HUGE not that long ago, they are not as huge now because the PEAK of that MOUNTAIN is now BEHIND US. These commercials were everything from ED pills, to electric scooters, to reclining chairs that help you stand up, to supplemental health insurance programs, to Welfare and Social Security Reform, the list is ENDLESS. Dad was a chess player also, taught me how to play when I was 5 or 6 and we played frequently right up to his passing year. So dad had cognitive reasoning. I asked him to tell me what is the common denominator among all of the television ads using the word ENTITLEMENT. It took him four days to find the answer despite him constantly wanting me to spoon-feed him that answer, I refused. He finally got it, all of the ENTITLEMENT ads were TARGETING one specific demographic and it wasn't the Gen Y child wanting a cell phone or a "participation" trophy. That was only the START of the conversation. It went of for several months. It was not the child requesting a participation trophy - it was the Baby Boomer sitting behind the desk in the Athletics Department that created that policy. It was not the Gen X teacher indoctrinating his grandchildren, it was the Baby Boomer in the Administrative Office indoctrinatinating his grandchildren. It was not the child feeling entitled to possessing a cell phone - it was the Baby Boomer grandparent giving it to them as if somehow having a lot of "stuff" as a child will make that child's life "better" then what they had when they were that age. Social Security didn't get to where it's at because of anything that Gen Y did, but because politicians felt the need to spoon-feed an "entitled generation" to buy votes. I could go on, but anywhoo... lol

And wait until you have to try to convince one of those postwar folks that they should not be driving a vehicle !!!

They have the numbers, they know for a fact that you're not worth their time. 2 XP visitors to every 120,000 Win10 visitors (I made up those numbers, but you get the gist). And as somebody mentioned in this thread or another, don't recall, WE have OURSELVES to blame - we fake a "modern" user agent on a "modern" OS and so we ourselves are even telling them that nobody on XP is using their web site.

That and Google disabled translate.googleapis.com from older browsers and they could just as easily disable the Chrome Web Store from older browsers. I personally prefer crx4chrome because I'm a "tweaker" - NONE of my extensions are ran "as-is", I modify them to my liking and don't "trust" extensions ran in their "default state".

No disagreement. Although users should be reminded that it was "Meltdown" and "Spectre" vulnerabilities that largely brought about the need for multi-process versus single-process more so than the increased number of multi-core CPUs. MSFN Members were quick to point out that Chrome and its forks can have site isolation disabled and reduce RAM 20% or so but that Chrome itself would prefer you use a different browser then use theirs with site isolation disabled. Has the same level of scrutiny been applied to disabling Mozilla's site isolation topology? Low-on-resource users must weigh the pros and cons - but they should also be aware of those pros and cons. If "Meltdown" and "Spectre" scared you into losing sleep when their tentacles were sprawling the internet, then you should think twice before disablling site isolation (which in the case of Firefox and forks, single-process = site isolation disabled). edit - I used to shout from the roof top that single-process was "superior". I can only speak from my own paradigm, but to me, RAM consumptions had me "blind-sided" and viewing browser performance through a tunnel-vision lens. It took me a LONG TIME to break myself from that perspective. EVERY COMPUTER is different, so this is not a "blanket statement", but what I started doing is looking at SPEED instead of RAM. If a computer running at 80% of RAM being used isn't slowing anything down, then why run the risk of "Meltdown" or "Spectre"? If the SPEED of everything is the same at 20% as it is at 80%, then why is the sky falling when we coast around at 80%? Again, that was just MY paradigm-break. We all know our own computers better than others, so everyone must "decide for themselves" what works for them and what doesn't.

Perhaps comparing network traffic with "your BO" (that's just what I "read" whenever people type "uBO", waka waka waka) enabled versus disable using DNSQuerySniffer &/or TcpLogView (both by NirSoft)? Also, are there any errors/warnings shown in Dev Tools?

Nope. It was more of a sarcasm/joking/pun/I'm-bored-let's-post-something thread. I would suspect their are much better sources for the types of info you reference and that MSFN will not likely become that source.
