It doesn't, that I am aware of. But I do know this, I've only been using Chromium-based (and it's at the point where I have ZERO plans to ever return to Mozilla-based) for close to two years. And pretty much EVERYTHING that I have ever searched for in regards to Chromium-based issues along the way, right there in the TOP THREE replies is ALWAYS "disable hardware acceleration". And that "suggestion" never seems to rely on OS. It's akin to when you contact tech support for software and the FIRST thing they ALWAYS tell you is "disable your antivirus".

I wouldn't really call it a "speed-up" option. If I understand it, it PRELOADS content based on links in your CURRENT page. So your downloaded bytes go through the roof and you maybe never went away from page one so why enable the browser to load content for page two? Page two loads faster because it loads portions of it before you clicked away from page one.

I will decide how I spend my free time. The core engine has never been updated since early beta versions of v13. Please stop trying to coerce me into creating yet another version. All the info, tools required, and detailed instructions on "how" Humming Owl and I have created these have been provided over the years. Feel free.

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
It's not only my water bill. The time is "already here" for me to move on from v11 V11 and v13 score virtually identical as far as javascript speed - blows ALL Mozilla-based browser completely out of the water, out of the sky, out of the asteroid belt. -

A step in the right direction. But still not for me -

Sweet! My water bill pay site works again in NM28! As does a Wordle word calculator (this has worked in NM28 but only since 2022-01-07, if my notes are correct [ie, it was not NC and OC that broke this web site]). -

I'm not familiar with what a tor "exit" is, but I guess I can assume it falls within what US Law refers to as "aiding and abetting". I know folks (even here at MSFN) that were very much convinced that the "Tor Network" was the greatest thing since sliced bread as far as remaining "anonymous" on the internet. It's just hype and propaganda, in my opinion. If you want to be "connected", then don't for one solitary second think that you are "anonymous". Cloudflare DNS included. You simply shift the logs from one server to another, but the logs still exist. Heck, even DuckDuckGo will admit that. But ask a user of DuckDuckGo and they'll stand behind the hype until their hair falls out. -

I once knew a guy that ran a "Tor Network Server". I cannot claim to know "how" that works, but I do know the guy running that server would tell story after story of how many people were downloading illegal software and movies through his "server". He swore up and down that he could not be held liable for the illegal actions occurring on his "server". Again, cannot claim to know "how" that works. But I do suspect very highly that the people on this "Tor Network" had no clue that the owners of these "servers" had their IP Address and knew what they were downloading. -

And who is to say that your DNS records are safer in the hands of Cloudflare opposed to your own ISP? That's the propaganda I just don't buy into. I just believe, stongly, that if I were that "concerned" with my DNS queries, then I should sell the house and build a gingerbread house in the hills and live off of rain water, gooseberries, tree bark, wind, and solar. -

Reminds me of when I was right around 14 years old, I found the hiding place where Santa Clause stored some of our gifts under mom and dad's bed. I found a brand new VCR still in the box. Toted it to my room, opened up the box, grabbed my set of screwdrivers, and I had that thing disassembled into 20-30 pieces within the hour or so it took mom to catch me. She was at a total loss and made me go outside until dad got home from work. Dad gets home and hollers up to the treehouse where I was adding a new level, "Mom says you have something to show me." I climb down and walk him to my room, "I wanted to see how it works." His only reply, "As long as it still works when you put it back together." It did! And not only that, but mom and dad still have it! -

I only see raybuck DNS queries when my Proximitron Reborn fails to load that test site, no gitlab DNS queries. Are you thinking that I only need to bypass gitlab and then Proxomitron Reborn will at least access that test site? -

I'm not referring to Secure DNS (I do not use it and see it as "hype and propaganda"). I'm referring to Cloudflare "fingerprint" tests that some web sites will not let you visit until you demonstrate you are human by clicking on mountains, boats, traffic lights, bikes, et cetera. If you can visit the below website WITHOUT being asked to prove that you are human, then you are PASSING the Cloudflare browser checks. https://raybuck.com/firebird-vs-trans-am-history-trivia/ -

Sweet! I only wish there was a way to get Proxomitron Reborn to pass that Cloudflare check -

I haven't stumbled into any cases where ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy is "needed". I do not use Windows Updates and it seems that's really the only thing where there is a "need". -
ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
NotHereToPlayGames replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
Not me! ONE is my limit! Too much of the web has migrated to polyfill shenanigans that I've opted to revert from 360Chrome v11 to v13 build 2206. Just too much of a d#mn hassle to maintain browser profiles to have to do it for more than ONE. The only way I'd ever use "multiple" browser is if I did not use uMatrix + Tampermonkey + Proxomitron (replaces NoScript for my needs) + Stylus. If it were only about maintaining bookmarks, that would be one thing, but some times I feel like it's a full time job (8hr/day) just to maintain ONE browser profile. 8hr day times 3 browsers -- that's 24hrs per day. Nope, not gonna happen!- 922 replies
