    I applaud the open mind. If I recall correctly, WiseVector X (I forget the actual name) was high on the list at one point in time and it didn't work so well on my setup.

    Nope. Rebuild 1 linked in the first post is the latest. The embedded translate context menu item no longer functions in the "regular" and that context menu item was already removed in "ungoogled". Any links in later discussions are superceded by the links in the first post.

    It's always kind of been a fine line on what off-topic enquiries are allowed and which cause an uprising. Just pointing out that your attempt at making Bing your default and removing Google as your default would have been answered faster if it were in the correct thread. I personally don't mind off-topic enquiries, no conversation I've ever had in my entire life didn't "wander" from one topic to the next at seemingly random moments, it's not just me, it's human nature, that's how CONVERSATIONS unfold. The strictest of adherance to "on-topic" conversations would have you walk away three senctences in to basically every conversation a normal human is ever engaged in - that would make you the RUDEST person on the planet. I see online conversations not much removed from that paradigm, only the RUDEST of members throw out a "off-topic, move on" each and every time they encounter one. Hovering over their keyboard like a hawk or eagle in a tree tracking a field mouse or bunny rabbit, quick to POUNCE with their "gotcha moment". Kind of like how members LOVE to correct sspelllinnnngg mistaques hear at EM ES EFF EN. But I digress... </end off-topic>

    At first, I had NO idea what you were talking about !!! "_oogle" ??? NEVER HEARD OF IT !!! So thanks for the SCREENCAP because now I can see what you are talking about - it's GOOGLE, not "_oogle". I thought maybe this "_oogle" thing was something Humming Owl came up with and not your "fear" of typing out Google. The handling of extensions is ON PURPOSE - if you want the Chrome Web Store to communicate with Google (why would you if you label them as "_oogle") then you MUST use the REGULAR 360Chrome version and NOT the "ungoogled" 360Chrome version. This is also true for Official Ungoogled Chromium, the Chrome Web Store is intentionally "broken". Regarding search engines, set your Bing as DEFAULT then you can remove GOOGLE (default). edit - ps: your enquiry regarding 360Chrome or any future enquires regarding Official Ungoogled Chrome should not be in Roytam's "My Browser Builds" thread.

    Already did. Did you?
  6. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not sure why, but feel free. It's for the Admins to resolve. Brilliant detective work though.

    I've long held the belief that VPN's should not be granted login access. I no longer think that, but I admit that I used to. I know that other countries possibly require VPN's in order to reach MSFN so we perhaps need to allow VPN access. But I will submit that any MSFN Member with a history of suspicious activity (which I am not claiming that legacyfan falls into this category, I'm just "talking out loud"), should that MSFN Member be denied VPN login privileges? Moreno Valley, California hosts several VPN servers based on a quick non-thorough search. So does Los Angeles, California.

    Not relevant.

    I also prefer a totally wiped clean base-state session-only type of profile for my Roytam browsers. I find "loaders" more powerful than a .bat file but both are sufficient depending on what you're wanting to do. With the "loader" route, I often have three or four loader .exe's for the same Roytam browser and can change the .exe's icon accordingly. My NM28 has four loader .exe's all associated with their own .ini and all with their own moon logo icon. NM28 was my default before I migrated to 360Chrome and I find myself returning to NM28 every once in a while now that I can pay my utility bills just fine now. But it can likely never be my 100% default due to I must be able to make calls from Google Voice and that's a no-go anything non-Chrome (BNav used to work, but that was over two years ago). The loader route is what Official Pale Moon Portable uses and it is derived from winPenPack.

    Found it! Within the last week or two, I opted to ENABLE #enable-experimental-web-platform-features in chrome://flags (saved in Local State file which I also migrated when cutting corners). It is that flag that crashes music.youtube.com. I suppose it could be a "combination" of things, but I disable (default) that flag and music.youtube.com WORKS, I enable and it does NOT work. I wish that flag could be enabled/disabled per domain or something instead of "all on" versus "all off" because I seem to recall enabling that flag was the "fix" for two or three web sites discussed here at MSFN so that's why I opted to enable. I don't even remember what those two or three web sites even were - meaning I'll likely never visit them ever again, lol. But music.youtube.com on the other hand, as much as I like Jango for background music or regular YouTube for background music, I can see liking music.youtube.com at some point in time, so back to DISABLED for that flag for me.

    Found the culprit. When I switched from using 13.5.1030 to 13.5.2036, I copied my 1030's Web Data and Preferences files over to 2036 instead of building my profile anew. Unsure just what is no longer compatible, "rookie mistake", I was just trying to cut some corners and generally always build my profile anew with any new build. Funny how it took over two months to stumble into a web site that didn't like the 1030 files, lol.
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    What user agent are you guys using on music.youtube.com?
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    music.youtube.com definitely does not work for me. hmmm
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    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?
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Found it. music.youtube.com forces IE Kernel.
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    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?
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    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!
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
