Easily disabled. Before: After: It's also disabled in 360Chrome but this could also be v86 versus v112, I did not dig that deep. Though if it is of any consolation, SRWare Iron and Opera both do the "Not A Brand" thing also, just like Catsxp:

I'm unable to duplicate, no washout effect on Firefox. Did you try with a clean profile, perhaps something in your profile is causing the washout?

Test video doesn't play for me in Firefox either. Does play in 360Chrome.

What version of Opera? Because the test video will not even run for me.

Only if you installed with the "defaults" and did not take the extra mouse click to go into install options.

This line alone makes me want to NOT do the like! Why are so many MSFN Members so glued to that d@mn "like"? This is not a social media web site. Or did I just fall prey to the oldest trick in the book - "reverse psychology"?

With limited testing on v112.3.4.3, the only time I witness any odd connections is when "secure DNS" is enabled - making me NOT TRUST this so-called "secure" DNS. It is better to set up your Operating System to use "secure DNS" than it is to rely on any web browser to perform that task for you, once that is "embedded" into the web browser, it can make ANY connection it wants to! There are some embedded "always accept cookies" web sites but I've not seen them create cookies so long as you do not visit those web sites. The embedded list is easily removable in chrome.dll - but I'm left with an "empty" web site instead of a none-added note, so still investigating.

I do not use dark themes and can not entertain questions pertaining towards their use.

I can not replicate, everything working here. Please note that you can NOT upgrade from build 1030 and keep your 1030 profile because indexes are off by 1, 7, 10, or 12 depending on index. If you have the incorrect index, then three hundred and thirty out of three hundred and eighty seven text strings will not land where they are supposed to, the Task Manager being but only one of them. You CAN upgrade from build 2022 and keep your 2022 profile.

No need to rebuild profile.

If by manually, you imply only by editing the Preferences file, then not true, you add to the list whenever you download to a new location, and you can clear this list from within the download dialog -

You should be able to use the "Preferences" file.

Which browser does this refer to?

I think, though not positive, that the only reason Google Voice does not work in 52.9/similar is that the permission dialog for microphone access does not seem to work. Unsure why, older versiosn of Firefox and Forks had a microphone access setting directly in the permissions page, newer versions no longer have this global mic access via global permissions.

WinRAR is not needed to install an extension. Do not uncompress the .crx, drag-and-drop the .crx AS-IS onto your extensions page - chrome://extensions/

Bingo! If you have ever completed a "captcha" on that computer, then it has been fingerprinted and "databased" and you are wasting your time and resources to try to "un-fingerprint". edit: "captcha" = Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart

Nor would I expect it to. Screen resolution is but ONE variable out of HUNDREDS. And it depends on which of those variables is being used to "fingerprint" you. If you send a User Agent that tells the world you run XP x86 SP2 when 99% of folks on XP x86 run SP3 and not SP2, then of course you are "unique". If you think about it, being "unique" is *NOT* the result you want if you are trying to "not be fingerprinted". Being UNIQUE is BAD - you have been fingerprinted and they know EXACTLY who you are, you are "unique".

You once mentioned that you do not run your browser window "maximized" because you feel it is a privacy vulnerability, so what window size do you run? Because it is that smaller window size that prompts the chevrons, in all versions of 360Chrome (I tested in several versions all the way back to v11 now that I know what you are talking about - a screencap at the very beginning would have been extremely helpful). Running a MAXIMIZED window is actually LESS of a privacy vulnerability - because then your fingerprint on screen size is a needle in a haystack, you blend in with everybody with the same monitor resolution. Running in a smaller window makes you stand out like a sore thumb because you become the only person on the planet running that window size.

Glad that's finally settled, lol That's not a new "feature" and has always been there, I never run that small of a window size.

Still NO CLUE of what you are talking about. There is no new feature. Can you share a screencap so the rest of us know what in Hades you are talking about?

It cannot be "removed". What you can do is NOT install "unpacked" extensions but REPACK them yourself and then install them. You have to perform the REPACK while in Developer Mode, do not install them until you REPACK them first. This dialog IS a result of how you are installing them, that's why it is "only you".

I do not have any of these issues and nor has anyone else indicated that they have, so I have to assume it is you and only you. You are installing your extensions incorrectly if you are getting this "nag window". This "chevron" is not some new "feature", IT SEEMS TO BE WITH YOUR EXTENSIONS AND YOURS ONLY. These are not "bugs" and I am compelled to ignore any "persistence" indicating otherwise - until proven otherwise.
