    Heck No! FAR FROM !!! We no longer user our USERNAME to log in, we use our EMAIL ADDRESS. So if your DNS has been HACKED, then you all but GIVE the hacker your email address just by continuing to log in. I'm sure there is some sort of "encryption" involved, but you'd have to ask the hackers if that is just as easy to hijack as it is to hijack DNS.

    I no longer use any UXP browser on a regular basis. If I did, I would actually try to run *WITHOUT* this "new" setting. Or run at 1MB. To be honest. But it would require "experimenting". To me, it seems this setting was never actually intended for these "old" engines.

    Official ESR v78.15.0 uses 2MB. So as far as I can tell, this has "always" been 2MB since its inception.
  4. NotHereToPlayGames
    Does not exist in Official ESR v68.12.0
  5. NotHereToPlayGames
    Official Firefox ESR v91.13.0 does use 2MB.
  6. NotHereToPlayGames
    Okay, I won't try too many versions, but I can report that Official Firefox ESR v52.9.0 does not even have this setting (maybe that was to be expected).

    Perhaps the HISTORY of this setting needs researched. I can confirm that Firefox v150 uses 2097152 (2MB) *but* Copilot AI searches indicate that Firefox uses a default value of 1MB (ie, 1048576). So... I would research *WHEN* did Firefox increase this to 2MB ??? And, more importantly, if OLDER versions of Firefox did indeed use 1MB, then these forks should stick with that and not increase to Firefox v150's 2MB.

    To me, the tab/URL bar visual deficiencies FAR outweigh the only-open-for-troubleshooting console. (edit: this is not a Member A versus Member B "vote", just an added OPINION, to me, BOTH are correct, *IF* the owner is going to bend, then a real non-dummy is preferred) But there is another route for us "Type A Personalities". Just use a userscript or userstyle to "redirect" to any favicon of your choice, no "Type A" passive-aggressive tactics required of forcing a server owner to bend to our preference. I actually use SEVERAL as opposed to writing formal letters to government agencies asking them to fix their favicon.

    Well, whichever we call it, nobody has presented any solutions.

    Technically, I would use the word "idle" instead of "freeze". Idle = intentional pause, WILL resume when tab becomes active... Freeze = unintentional hang, will NOT resume when tab becomes active...

    Chromium/Forks will *only* have that option on MOBILE DEVICES such as laptops. It will appear on chrome://settings/performance BETWEEN the Memory and Speed options, but again *only* on mobile devices. Desktop: Laptop:

    We have to draw the line somewhere. I work for an automotive company. We continue to build "spare parts" long after the car that contains those parts is no longer manufactured. ie, those parts now stock the shelves of auto parts stores and distributors and repair shops. There is no Federal Law dictating how long we have to build "spare parts" to cover warranties or just normal wear and tear. It's a "science" of sorts. We would lose NEW CAR customers if we gained a reputation for not having parts for the USED CAR market. But if you (the car owner) tries to buy a part TWENTY YEARS from now, do you really think you can EXPECT to find that part and then "blame" the manufacturer if you cannot? For reference, as an automotive parts manufacturer, we build our "spare parts" for SEVEN YEARS after that part is no longer used in NEW cars (but on a smaller assembly line and a reduced annual rate based on historic warranty and distributor supply chain data). And the Win 10 1809 version being discussed here is EIGHT YEARS OLD.

    I have to disagree. What happens if one of those outdated updates is discovered that while it was "secure" at the time of release, it opens gigantic security flaws in today's infrastructure? Keep the file there and allow anybody and everybody to "sue" because of those security flaws that exist today but did not exist yesteryear? I say that they own the server, they own the file, it is theirs to keep or throw away.

    Good Luck! I'll be monitoring to see if anybody can find a fix! I have hunted in the past and was unsuccessful. Pluto TV doesn't load until the background tab becomes active, Hulu will unpause a paused video if it is in the background, there are others, those are just the two that come to mind. Nothing to do with "discards", very annoying, I was never able to find a fix. In any event, you should provide an example site(s). So at least others can add that to the list of Pluto TV, Hulu, and now your site(s).

    Until I was on MSFN, I literally (and I do mean LITERALLY) **NEVER** visited YouTube. ****NEVER**** I adblock, so I don't even know who advertises on MSFN, but I do know it is TERRIBLE here at MSFN if you do not adblock. Okay, not "terrible", but a nuisance nonetheless. I once witnessed a bra and panty ad here at MSFN while *AT WORK*, thank golly-G no coworkers walked into my office, they would have thought I was on a "smut page". YouTube *should* ADVERTISE here on MSFN, since they seem to OWN every user herein. From "YT downloaders" to "how do I make my 20yr old computer work on YT". But in the couple of years that I "did" (past tense) use YouTube, it warranted 16 out of 53 site-specific userscripts. 1 for Invidious as a YouTube fallback and 15 for YouTube. So let's call it 15 out of 53. ie, just over 28% of all of my userscripts are for YouTube. I probably should just ditch them all, lol, but who knows, I may use YouTube again one of these days. And they did consume a lot of time to get YouTube to "tolerable".

    I strongly ADVISE AGAINT using "secure DNS". Supermium's "secure DNS" is owned/operated by Google. Hackers LOVE to hack these servers. It has happened in the past, it will happen in the future. Google will always stop them, but these are called "zero day" hacks for a reason. These are *OFTEN* hijacked. Statistically, your ISP's DNS is much MUCH safer and LESS PRONE TO HIJACKS.

    At this rate, we expect to hear from you again in 37 days on May 31st.

    I'm not fine-tuned on knowledge of CORS. But there were some articles on how disabling CORS resulted in stolen bank accounts in India. But they were also from 2019. Can't find 'em offhand, may look again later, probably not important. I myself do not plan on disabling CORS just for the sake of ONE website (that and I doubt I'd ever visit again anyway, despite it is a bit cool for looking up forgotten music, but I can find the same info from sources that do NOT require me to DISABLE security implementations that have been around since the 1990s).
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    I can cofirm that website also does not work in Firefox. TERRIBLE WEBSITE !!! They are literally telling all of their users, "The only way you can visit us and use our website is if you DISABLE standard security measures that have existed SINCE THE 1990s and became a W3C Standard TWENTY YEARS AGO."
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed. The problem is BAD CODING by the creator of that website. Why "trust" a website that REQUIRES "disabling web security" ??? ??? Does that website also require Firefox/Forks to disable CORS?
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Okay, I got that "tidal" page to *WORK* in Ungoogled Chromium v144. NO EXTENSION REQUIRED. All I had to do is add the --disable-web-security command line switch to my list of switches. NO NEW PROFILE REQUIRED (at least for my portable config [which already has its own profile directory]).
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    Same for Official Edge v147. Can't get that "tidal" page to do ANYTHING, with or without CORS "blocks/unblocks". Tried MULTIPLE extensions to "block/unblock" CORS.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Are you sure your issue with this site is CORS-related? I can not get this site to work in Ungoogled Chromium v144 no matter what I do.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    ps - I read this as "How are others fixing these issues on YouTube?". I do *everything* with userstyles and userscripts and *not* with uBO custom filters/lists.
