Agreed. I am personally leaning towards not having the Translate to English feature and to keep it out of the context menu. But at the same time, I don't want it to be too "complex" for other users to restore the feature if their preference differs from mine. Does Firefox "embed" its own 'translation service'?

Too much of a hassle. For "conversations", I just copy and paste into the reply box in fractions of a second. Then delete the profile attachment when that conversation is over.

Me too! It's not "my" continent that is ever the "problem". But this is fairly standard when working for international companies, especially when "intellectual property" is protected.

Correct. What I observed is that the favicon, Roboto font, player css, and polymer js/css were always loaded in the same exact order. I based my times on the last of them, which always occurred AFTER the page started to do its "fade in" stuff.

They do. The problem there is that several phones steal network IP Addresses when plugged into USB Ports even if only plugged in to be charged.

Not for the most part. The "problem" arises due to IT Departments on three continents. All three get "automatic notifications" if any computer on the network pings any blacklisted domain. It is only then that one of those continents in particular will raise holy h#ll if it was open source software (such as Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox) that pinged the black list.

Oh, and funny story on YouTube for at work. Engineering Department. And it's an HR rule that any audio be played on headphones and never on computer/laptop speakers. The ads "in the middle" of YouTube videos are somehow blocked by the company server, but YouTube still plays "silence" that cannot be fast-forwarded for the duration of that "in the middle" ad. But the ads BEFORE or AFTER a video are not blocked by the company server. We are forced to use Edge at work (company is international and you will have your computer locked if you put ANYTHING on the computer that is "open source", we've had people FIRED for using "open source" software!). And our extensions have to be approved by IT Departments on three different continents. I got "Enhancer for YouTube" approved because it blocks ads before and after videos for feminine hygiene, razors, bras, and panties and it wasn't difficult to convince IT Departments that we should block them "in a corporate environment", lol. edit - they used to block YouTube entirely, but they found it forced them to loosen restriction on USB Ports so that we could listen to music that way instead.

Yep. One of my favorites! I couldn't get through an 8hr day without it, lol. The other YouTube extension I use extends ad-blocking to "annotations" - which I can't say for 100% if I still need that one or not. edit - confirmed, still need the annotation-blocker also.

Awesome!

Still works great for me. I never read those "reviews". They are ALWAYS biased. And often posted by somebody that doesn't know what they are doing to begin with. I have 4 GB RAM on all of my XP x86's, 16 GB RAM on this XP x64, and 32 GB RAM on all my Win7's and Win10's. I will take a larger extension to not have to look at these ads which are still shown when using your "tiny" extension but NOT shown with my setup.

But I'm sure the biggest part of my slowdown is that I funnel through Proxomitron.

The page load times are not a good comparison between "my" computer and "somebody else's" computer. BUT the page load times do give a scientific method quantitative measurement - change ONE variable (chrome.dll) and time the result of that ONE variable.

YouTube loads much quicker if I actually allow the ads. Just not a very pleasant listening experience.

This is the network entry that was used for all page load times.

Yes. But my YouTube experience will be much different from others. A lot of delay for ad-blocking and what-not so I can listen to music ad-free while at work. The work network blocks the ad servers but YouTube will play the length of the ad anyway. So I have music, 20 seconds of silence or however long the ad was supposed to be, more music, another long delay of silence, more music. So I've had to use some ad-blocking YouTube extensions for uninterupted music throughout the day.

YouTube has always been molasses-slow for me. But it also runs through two extensions to block ads, annotations, info cards, end scenes, comments, and chats. Wasn't patient enough to clear the cache and reload ten times. Player css and polymer js files take "forever" to load on my setup. Before=rebuild_2 and after=rebuild_3 ( www.youtube.com ) --

Cool! Thanks! There shouldn't be a high "frequency" of updates.

I'll run these for a full week before uploading a rebuild_3.

Awesome! I did get as far as removing the Translate entries. Didn't think to compare page load speeds before-and-after.

The Translate feature will be broken in both the ungoogled and the regular.

The "ungoogled" version does intentionally prevent that network connection unless you perform the chrome.dll modification posted here - https://msfn.org/board/topic/184135-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v135-build-2022/?do=findComment&comment=1230537

Good deal. I'm "on the fence" as to whether to keep the translate feature intact or not. I myself "never" (never say never?) visit sites that need translated. And when I do, there are web-based translation sites as opposed to being "built in" to the browser. On one hand, Official Ungoogled Chromium does not have it and my goal with 360Chrome was to immitate Official Ungoogled for the most part. On the other hand, it's buried away in a context menu and makes no "connections" to Google until the user intentionally selects that context menu item.

Plus, I also think that v13.5 is basically "end of the line" for 360Chrome on XP. I hear rumors of another Chrome Fork in the works that would dethrone 360Chrome if the rumors are true. Waiting to see. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184127-xp-and-future-of-web-browsing/?do=findComment&comment=1230273 edit - truth be told, 360Chrome could come out with twenty "newer builds" for v13.5, but if a web site that does NOT work in build 2022 isn't PROVEN to work on the "newer build", then I will not upgrade from build 2022. I'm not looking to be the dog chasing its tail with constant "updates".
