Wait a couple days and it will be here - https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/31931/

I suspect there are extensions that can do that.

Your Chrome Store access WILL be the next to break. I'm VERY surprised that it is not already broken. Chrome Store is moving to MV3. 360Chrome does not support MV3.

And since the Chrome Web Store already has everything at Manifest 3, I see no reason to maintain the "regular" anymore. To the best of my understanding, Manifest 3 requires Chromium v88 and higher.

It's already removed in the ungoogled version.

<nevermind, fails in Win10 also>

Definitely not essential, if you want my opinion (opinions are like butts, everybody has one, doesn't mean everybody wants to hear them). I can't think of any forum I've been on in 30+ years that had an "alternate" location for the admin to discuss status if the primary went offline for a day or two. All I can think of is a hypothetical comparison - I don't have a Facebook or Instagram account but I do hear via news and even doctor friends that they are highly addictive platforms. The whole notion (in my opinion) of seeking a downtime status and when will we be back up again via an alternate location would be because MSFN Members started having "withdrawal symptoms" because they couldn't feed their addiction. I guess I "kind of" get it, visiting MSFN is part of my daily routine. But I didn't need medical attention for withdrawal when it went offline. Life went on. I guess I also see it as "more important" for the owner to bring the system back up as opposed to, "Wait, I can't do that yet, I have to visit our alternate location and submit a status report every hour or so." I kid... Kind of... edit - I was a member of RyanVM and also WinCert, if there was an "MSFN Status" thread, I never saw them, lol.

No hack was required that I am aware of. Rather, we had to become more precise and selective with telemetry removal. If you read through Humming Owl's "notes.txt" files, you will see that ALL occurrences of "googleapis" and "gstatic" were replaced, "without prejudice". My builds started out that way also, but then the more familiar I became with the program code, the more precisely I was able to remove telemetry without casting a "catch-all very-wide just-catch-EVERYTHING" net that caught the fish we weren't trying to catch. One of the unintended consequences of that "just-catch-EVERYTHING" net is that things were BROKEN all in the "name of" preventing unwanted telemetry. One of those unintended breaks was the translation feature (which I myself do not use, so can't speak toward - other than maintaining functionality for the users that do/did use that feature).

The whole idea seems moot to me. As if the forum owner somehow owes us all a place to jibber-jabber nonsensically like a Jabberwocky through the Looking Glass? I think we are all over-analyzing. When the forum goes down, are our lives so destitute that we can't find something else to do until it comes back up? If members share common interests and converse in other forums, all fine and dandy, but for the forum owner to somehow owe us an alternative? Like I said, the whole idea seems moot to me.

Too funny! You didn't try that until now? I guess we all have our own habits, my guess is your "one of those" that has 300 tabs open and never closes the browser, lol. <jk>

I cannot reproduce your F icon even with your skin.

I haven't found a method yet, but I would prefer insert-inline-end: to be replaced with right: by using Tampermonkey instead of Proxomitron.

Also, is it triggered by all MSFN links or just a few? Can you isolate if one of the advertisements is triggering the icon?

Can you PM me the skin's .srx file? I should be able to track down the icon and what triggers it.

Does it also show in Incognito Mode? Can you see any DNS traffic outside of MSFN when that icon displays? I don't get that icon in 360Chrome v13.5 on XP and I don't get any new icons in Marmaduke Ungoogled v113 on Win10. I suspect your skin has some embedded telemetry "trying" to get out and an unrelated telemetry removal is redirecting to www.google.com.

You will need to discuss that with the source of your skin/theme as you are not using my skin/theme.

If anyone wants to host the older versions, that is fine by me. The userbase for 360Chrome is far too small for me to consume that much storage space on my personal Dropbox account.

My current version's links are here

Ah yes, you are correct, I can read the Facebook page after closing the login prompt.

Agreed. I've never been a Facebook member (and never intend to). Below is what I get so no, you cannot read Facebook if your computer hasn't already been fingerprinted.

Because Imgur is ad-based and the ads can sometimes be a bit R-Rated.

Appears to be Net Speed Monitor.

Netflix used to work on my version. But I disable "automatic" Widevine installation and leave it to the end-user to MANUALLY install Widevine (same goes for Flash as far as that goes). I haven't tried Netflix (or Hulu) via 360Chrome for several months. I suppose it's possible that older versions of Widevine get "blacklisted" on the server-side and I doubt there is any client-side fix if that is the case. I've never installed Silverlight (never trusted it, I avoid "installs" and seek "portable" alternatives instead). I rarely Netflix/Hulu via computer but I know for a fact that they both definitely used to work in 360Chrome v13 and v13.5 on XP. One of these weekends I may revisit to make sure Netflix/Hulu "still" works - but it's kind of low-priority at the moment.

legacyfan - above is a small recap, there were several just for the capital L and F. Perhaps a Post-It Note on your monitor that reads "No username change until January 2028".
