    Not the ones that I know personally. The ones that I know personally will spend WEEKS designing with Firefox and the GIGANTIC number of resources available (at the time) to only Firefox. Then spend LESS THAN AN HOUR to "test" that design by "visiting" the newly-designed web site in a browser they know VERY LITTLE about. That does not "qualify" as my definition of "testing on all major browsers". One such "designer" in particular that comes to mind was even able to establish a company-wide policy (at the time) that prevented Chrome from being installed on any factory floor computer (over 300+ assembly stations). But this is off-topic anyway so I shall simply "agree to disagree".

    I fear you have missed the primary point behind (at least my) take on these bugs being deliberate. You have to go back 20+ years to see the full picture. 20+ years ago, we lived in a Death to Internet Explorer universe that was wholly and completely DRIVEN by the Firefox Crowd. Firefox and its USER BASE was out to KILL Internet Explorer. And guess what - THEY SUCCEEDED. NOTHING to do with UXP browsers. EVERYTHING to do with FIREFOX. WEB DESIGNERS USED Firefox to test their "designs" and WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY to find ways to show Internet Explorer was "inferior". And again - THEY SUCCEEDED. Spring forward 20+ years and this is where we are today (technically right about two years ago and all the way through to "today"). The Firefox Crowd of "foregotten lore" SUCCEEDED in killing off Internet Explorer. What they lacked the foresight to PREDICT is that killing off Internet Explorer did NOT place Firefox as King of All Web Browsers like the user base thought was going to happen. They succeeded. They just thought that "they" (the PARENT to "UXP") would be sitting at the TOP - they are NOT at the top.

    <off-topic> Does anybody here happen to have a copy of TaoKaiZen's ( https://browser.taokaizen.com/ ) Advanced Chrome v89.0.4388.0 and v91.0.4460.0?

    Was just about to report that you posted last week's KM76 but you caught it and correct link

    I've always seen these as "by design" 'bugs'. I used to see these ALL THE TIME but in REVERSE -- the website worked in Firefox but did not work in IE (I'm talking like a decade or so ago when Firefox users thought their farts smelled like roses and they propagated "Death to IE" every time they exhaled). What I mean by "by design" is that I hold the theory that Firefox coders *WANT* these types of 'bugs' as a way to "distinguish" themselves apart from the crowd. Or something like that... I know that's not really an "answer".

    Because your UBO is blocking it!

    I run XP on all NINE of my computers/laptops. But I do not classify this as "retro-computing". Retro-computing is Commodore C64 or VIC-20, Apple IIe, Tandy 100, et cetera. Not XP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocomputing

    On my x86 three-monitor setup, I use AlfaClock Free - version 1.90 on monitor #1 and set it up with the EXACT text settings as on the five-monitor x64 setup. No clock or systray on monitors #2 or #3.

    I use two programs. The one you pictured in your screencap is from monitor #1's systray called T-Clock Redux x64 - version 2.3.2 build 151. The other program I use is so that I can have the IDENTICAL clock display on monitor #5's systray but NOT have systray clocks on monitors #2, #3, and #4 of my five-monitor setup - it is called DS Clock - version 2.6.3.

    all four of these are 404's

    Isn't Crx4Chrome already doing that? https://www.crx4chrome.com/history/152403/

    Maybe you're the only one that keeps a browser history. I delete all cache and all cookies at the close of every session. In all of my browsers.

    Does everything on this page look correct? https://browserspy.dk/date.php If not, here are registry locations to manually resolve. https://www.itprotoday.com/windows-78/jsi-tip-0398-how-set-time-zone-editing-registry

    ps - that doesn't mean that all browsers pull time / time-zone from the same "portion" (?) of the OS (ie, your other browsers are fine). But 360Chrome is pulling time / time-zone from "somewhere" within the OS.
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    To the best of my knowledge, ALL web browsers pull time / time-zone from the OS. That's why it's only you. Something with your install.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm confused. If we downloaded yesterday, does this mean we should download again? And which ones?
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    My XP's are "real" XP's. *NO* "POS" updates that were never intended for "real" XP. Not sure if that could also be it or not.

    You would have to contact the original Chinese creators to fix that. Note that you seem to always experience this within an hour of midnight. China does not use Daylight Savings Time (and nor should the rest of the world, IMHO). To the best of my knowledge, your time zone does use DST.

    I call BS! The only way to truly be "safe" or "secure" or whatever HYPE you want to call it, is to NEVER USE A WEB BROWSER. Thinking ANY browser is protecting your "privacy" any more than another browser is just HYPE and PROPAGANDA. If you are ON the internet, then you have WAIVED any and all sense of "privacy rights". PERIOD.

    Mine does. Did you alter your "skin" in any way, shape, or form?
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Some people may not have status bars because they mix-and-match "skins". Or they've disabled the status bar in the settings page toolbar section -- chrome://settings/uiStyle Regarding "safer", there is no such thing! If you want "safer", then do not use anything but Microsoft's latest-and-greatest operating system and Mozilla's or Google's latest-and-greatest web browser. PERIOD. For those of us that don't give a rat's butt about "safety" and "security" (and are smart enough to control those aspects "granularly"), the LONG LIVE XP and the web browsers back-ported for XP. I have seen XP-ported browsers not make any connection to China. But ran the same EXACT browser on Win7 and it connects to China. So "testing" is in the eye of the beholder.

    I still technically see ZERO benefits to upgrading. But I do use v13.5 as my default nowadays on all but one computer (it only has 2GB RAM and it uses v11 as its default but does have v13.5 to browser one tab only when being used on that computer). It will not solve 100% of your web browsing needs, but neither will ANY of the web browsers herein at MSFN. I do keep an eye on NM27 and NM28 and maybe one of these days they will work on all the web sites I need them to work on (NM28 does work for my water bill nowadays, but NM28 does not work for my savings account, NM27 doesn't work for either).

    @AstroSkipper - you do not need to sound so "rude" and "condescending".
