    I wonder how many trees we could save per year if my credit card statements and utility bills arrived with a BLANK return-payment envelope? Since I pay these ONLINE, the envelope gets thrown away because it has writing on it. Not just the return address, I could put a sticker of my address over that, but other text that makes the envelope useless for anything else.

    Um, what sane person in the universe thinks that "gaming" is the same thing as "active" ???

    Basically from what has been gathered thus far, these Cloudfare captcha's are being encountered because Proxomtron blocks several browser "fingerprints" and the Cloudfare servers don't know "who or what" we are so they force a captcha. So those of you that bend over backwards to prevent your browser's "fingerprint", visit one of those three web sites listed above - if you can access them without having to solve a "captcha", then you have not prevented your browser's "fingerprint" and that Cloudfare server basically knows "who" you are. Maybe not you out of 3 million. But they do have you narrowed down to a few thousand.

    Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Forgive the curiosity, but I'd be curious to know your "before and after" perceptions of covid/omicron. I've known roughly a dozen folks to have had covid and each and every one of them walked away thinking, "That wasn't bad at all, the media had me thinking it was going to kill me, it was nowhere near that." edit - Also know one person that did die from it. But she was diabetic and very unhealthy to begin with. Even her husband tells everyone she was knocking on Death's Door before her covid diagnosis.

    Very true. I'm assuming the heighth/depth to average itself out. It's 14" deep at the back door, the drift along the driveway is 31" at its peak, I have some areas as low as 5".

    Snow storm and I have some shoveling to do. I'm kinda guessing on some of the numbers because I never actually measured my driveway, but I know that my carport is 20 feet wide (I carried the lumber home from Menards, on foot!). So my driveway is roughly 19 feet wide. The length of my blue truck is 178.9 inches. I'm guessing three and a half of those will fit in my driveway bumper-to-bumper from the end of the carport. But I used 5 to account for area into the road, at mailbox, and sidewalk. That's 894.5 inches. Divide by 12 to get 74.5 feet. 74.5 feet long multiplied by 19 feet wide gives me 1415.5 square feet. Divide by 60 because I cleared roughly 60 square feet at the back door and timed that at 21 minutes. That's 23.6. Multiply by 21 because I cleared those 60 square feet in 21 minutes. That's 495.6. Divide by 60 to convert minutes to hours. That's 8.26 hours. LONG day of shoveling ahead of me

    You can temporarilty change the UA this way - If you want a "permanent" solution, you will need to experiment with extensions. I personally do not bother with UA because the "modern" web does not use them and the UA is "dying" - Firefox removed site-specific UA override in version 71 (December 2019) and Chrome intends to phase it out completely.

    When you first open 360Chrome, hit the F12 keyboard key then hit the F1 keyboard key. Then select the second option in the very first dropdown - that's how you revert it back to English. This is only a flaw in v13.5 (and newer v13's), none of the versions older than v13 build 2206 do this.
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    Are you using @Humming Owl release? It shouldn't be in Chinese if you are. I also have English releases in a different thread. I suggest trying both.

    Same here! FF (I should say official Pale Moon, I've actually never liked/used official Firefox) stopped working for me close to a year and a half ago! And each and every one of Roytam's "updates" has made it WORSE (for me, mileage may vary). So I'm waiting very patiently for @feodor2 to release Mypal "2.0". I personally do not want my "browser" remembering passwords and I use this extension instead (I use the older version 9.6.6, unsure what has been added since as they are now at 10.0.10 [not interested, I'll keep the OLD]) - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autofill/nlmmgnhgdeffjkdckmikfpnddkbbfkkk

    Some web sites PREVENT saved passwords. Are you not able to save any passwords whatsoever or only not able to on a few web sites? Because if only on a few, then I suspect those web sites are using tricks that PREVENT saved passwords.
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    A different browser. I've never had any luck with it but mainly because my requirements are ONE browser that I can use in XP x86, XP x64, 7 x86, 10 x86, and 10 x64.

    Here's what JJoe has posted over at TUOPF when the raybuck site came up - So far, I must have the Proxomitron in bypass mode to get past the cloudflare captcha. Once my browsers 'see' the site 'direct', they move to http2, brotli compression, or maybe some other form of transmission that the Proxomitron can't filter for some of the files, which reduces filtering drastically. If I force things back to The Proxomitron, I'm back to the captcha. I haven't had the time or desire to figure this out yet. I kinda need to wait for JJoe on this one but I'll keep digging as part of my learning curve.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'll see what I can find out. This may require JJoe &/or amy over at TUOPF. We now have three test-case URLs because we were already looking at two but have not found a solution yet - https://offerup.com/ https://raybuck.com/firebird-vs-trans-am-history-trivia/ https://support.cloudflare.com/

    Me too! Mypal 27 was my default for years. When it stopped working on several finance sites, I had to give it up and migrated to Roytam's builds but that was very short lived, I had to give them up within months. 360Chrome has at least lasted a year-and-a-half and should get me through until Mypal "2.0" arrives.
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Awesome! Looking forward to it!
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed! I've never seen the keylogging to be "nefarious" (and I've posted that sentiment several times). I kinda feel like those that "do" find it to be "nefarious" that they should just boycott MSFN, why complain about the keylogger but still be here? Let your feet do the talking. That's kinda my thoughts. My biggest reason for bringing Proxomitron back as far as filtering javascript is my credit card and checking account. Everything is done online and I prefer to "reconcile" account statements (which in-and-of-itself is probably "old-school"). I got tired of the nag-screens that would pop up, "You've been idle for too long" and then log me out automatically unless I click to stay logged in. With Proxomitron, I don't get those d#mn nag-screen pop-ups and I can spend 12 minutes to "reconcile" statements instead of the altotted 2 or 4 or whenever those d#mn nag-screens pop up. edit - I just timed one of the accounts, it wants to time-out at 8min 10sec. Probably 8min plus or minus depending on second-hand of the clock. At any rate, with Proxomitron I can take an hour to "reconcile" if I want
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    Yes, that is normal. Proxomitron fakes a referer by default if none is already present or if it is a third-party referer. You can turn this filter off if you don't wish to fake the referer -
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    I wouldn't say "normal" but I would say that it's "good". Don't confuse SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.3. SSL 3.0 should be disabled/deactivated/killed/blocked (it was called a "POODLE" [Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption] attack and it dates back to 2014) whenever possible and the error message you are showing indicates that an SSL 3.0 attempt was blocked (could also be TLS 1.1) - that's good! Sites that even use SSL 3.0 are extremely rare nowadays. If the site still "works", then it has other SSL encryption that it did "accept". Why it tried to "fallback" to SSL 3.0 when nobody uses SSL 3.0 anymore is a mystery.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm seeing if I can find a non-Proxomitron solution. When it comes to the MSFN keylogger, all we need to do is prevent a specific javascript timer. But we cannot block all timers because then the reply box doesn't "expand" when you click inside the small reply box and it expands into the actual reply box. Proxomitron is smart enough to know which timer to block and which timer not to block. Most of the Tampermonkey solutions block the javascript "event" alongside the javascript "timer". Disregard - Proxomitron is a solution that works for me and it's too time-consuming to reinvent the wheel when I already have a wheel that works for me. Maybe a Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey / Violentmonkey / Userscripts guru will come along and offer something, but that level of scripting is kind of above my head, I can "see" (most of) what existing code does, but I cannot write the code from the ground up.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Yeah, I feared that was going to be the case for most folks. That was true in 2004 when I started using it. Still true today even with the "modern web" basically making it more vital than ever before.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    That is valid for this thread - I personally do not agree with "OT" anywhere, not here, not there, if the conversation leads us here, then it is not "OT". [Well, "within reason", and we all know when "within reason" has been overstepped.] I agree that Firefox and Chrome can tackle CNAME "trickery" differently. What could be "OT" is if the Firefox + UBO method to prevent the CNAME "trickery" can not be ran on "Older NT-Family OSes". I don't run Firefox and I don't run UBO - so I rely on others for that info. I can speak towards XP + 360Chrome + NoScript + uMatrix and that combo has blocked each and every CNAME trickery that has been presented thus far. I have Proxomitron as a fall-back in the event that NoScript + uMatrix isn't going to be enough - but so far those two alone has blocked every CNAME "trickery" we have seen thus far.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Blocked without even having to try to block it -- since UBO / uMatrix blocks frames by default (well, my uMatrix does, I guess I cannot remember if that was "default" or not) -
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    @XPerceniol - are you using UBO or uMatrix? If so, visit https://www.mathon.fr and look at the UBO or uMatrix dropdown - Note that in my config, uMatrix "thinks" there is a script being allowed at www.mathon.fr - but they (plural) are in reality being "replaced" by one dummy script by Proxomitron and no scripts are being allowed. But if I allow that script, this is what the dropdown looks like - The key is that 16ao.mathon.fr - it did not actually come from mathon.fr, it arrived through CNAME trickery as a "subdomain". I now block ALL subdomains with my Proxomitron config. This also blocks media.mathon.fr (which I don't care about because it's a French web site that I'll never visit). But I can whitelist the media subdomain while still blocking the 16ao subdomain. Plus, with this approach, I could care less if 16ao changes to 17ao or 19zo or 20az, I could list a thousand, they are blocked by default and I didn't have to wait for a UBO "list" author to find it, update it, and redistribute the "list".
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not really. I personally feel VERY strongly that nobody should allow javascript on a web site they have never visited before. Then only allow the javascript on a whitelist basis. We "simply" do one more step - disable ALL subdomains and now only allow subdomains on a whitelist basis. "Zero-Day" virus definitions take DAYS, if not WEEKS, to be discovered, for antivirus developers to create the detection, for that detection to get updated in a database, for the end-user to receive that updated database. DAYS, if not WEEKS, that the end-user was left "naked". Which is how you are at 20,589 rules when the other week it was about 15,000. I guarantee you that the Proxomitron approach will protect you FASTER than "waiting" for your UBO list to find the offense, to update their list, and for your UBO to download that updated list.
