Online banking does not require buying high-end hardware. But it does unfortunately seem to require newer than Win7 these days.

The above scores were with JIT disabled (Chrome/Chromium default). These are my scores with JIT enabled (which I don't mind the "security risk" this entails but that's because I have other mitigations). Speedometer 2.1 == 201 [with or without JIT, Ungoogled already scores higher than IceCat] Sunspider == 83.7 [faster than IceCat] Kraken == 840.0 [faster than IceCat] To be honest, I forgot all about JIT performance gains. I feel like my Ungoogled v122 just had its 2.2L K-car Era four-banger swapped out with a 392 SRT 6.4L Hemi V8.

Here's another collection of tests -- https://dromaeo.com/

Be sure to compare the exact same codec when comparing videos. I'm hit or miss in video department. I can get Chromium to be better, but Mozilla IS better "by defaults". Video playback is also a gigantic BALANCE. You can get awesome quality in Mozilla *if* you WANT the CPU to churn at 80% the entire span of the video. [I should add that I can *not* use Hardware Acceleration. My needs require being able to capture video-conferencing via "print screen" which does not work if HWA is enabled.]

Ungoogled Chromium v122 Speedometer 2.1 == 152 Sunspider == 228.1 Kraken == 14,015.5 DOMContentLoaded (YouTube) == 1.89 seconds IceCat v115.17.0 Speedometer 2.1 == 96.1 Sunspider == 93.2 [faster than UG v122] Kraken == 1,420.5 [faster than UG v122] DOMContentLoaded (YouTube) == 2.31 seconds

Here are several that I have used in the past. Fast tests that don't drive my impatience through the roof - https://mozilla.github.io/krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/kraken-1.1/driver.html http://proofcafe.org/jsx-bench/js/sunspider-1.0/driver.html https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.1/ Slow tests that I do not have the patience to run very often - https://web.basemark.com/ https://browserbench.org/JetStream/ https://browserbench.org/MotionMark1.3.1/

The .css solution only works if you use a WEB BROWSER to use Teams. If you use the "download and install" APP, you're basically stuck.

You need to create a Stylus (or similar extension) custom style sheet.

What about testing in Speedometer 2.1? I've always tested using 2.1 largely in part to a very long HISTORY of using it and all scores LOGGED in a spreadsheet. I have several other benchmark "tests" that are also logged. I'll supply them this afternoon.

Awesome News! My Acer Aspire One install has hit a few driver issues. Once those are resolved, this device will be on Windows 2000 + Mypal. I remain VERY OPTIMISTIC that Mypal 68 will dethrone my DAILY need for Serpent 52 (which no longer works 100% for my needs in XP).

I don't recall ever saying that I do not surf anymore under XP. Regardless, WHO THE H#LL CARES! Time for the OT Police. Let's get back to Mypal! Does the "custom buttons" extension need tested on a non-XP more-recent version of Firefox or not?

Astro, if you wish to PM me, the single/multi-process toggle is the *ONLY* "custom button" I have any interest in testing/using. Aside from that, I concede to your authority regading "custom buttons". But if you/we/feodor needs this tested in non-XP, then I volunteer that service.

Not the case according to GitHub's main page. Regardless, I HAVE THREE COMPUTERS HERE AT THE HOUSE STILL ON XP. No, they don't surf "daily", but they do need the ability to surf. I have just as much of an interest in the SUCCESS of Mypal as every other member reading this thread.

Please stop!

I use XP !!! On three of my seven computers at home! The eighth computer (the Acer Aspire One POS) is actually getting Windows 2000 as we speak. It is my understanding that Mypal will eventually be usable on Win2k. I thought I read that somewhere. I have use for this browser and regret that you see otherwise.

I'm sorry, but you are contradicting yourself. I want Mypal to PROGRESS FORWARD. None of us should want ONE extension (ie, Custom Buttons) holding back the FORWARD development of Mypal. You have SEVERAL posts in this thread that are quite MISLEADING. I for one THOUGHT you were testing in VERY LATEST and MORE RECENT versions of Firefox. Sad to say, but it is a bit MISLEADING to only NOW here that your die-hard XP use did NOT in fact test in any recent Firefox release. Carry on, of course. But please do not waste a DEVELOPER'S time with MISLEADING statements. I for one was MISLEAD. Maybe the developer was not. In which case, ignore everything I've just said, lol.

Where do we draw the line? By Forum Rule 2.e, this thread is technically SPAM. But despite that, "explorer7" could very well be MSFN's next "StartAllBack" gold mine.

Nope. We are allowed to use only MOST-RECENT versions of Edge and Chrome. I use a commandline startup to PREVENT the auto-update and I can sneak under the IT Radar with OLDER versions of Chrome by doing so. I can hide Official Chrome behind "portableapps" loader and can use commandline startup switches. Otherwise, the computer at work would use the SAME PROFILE for both Edge and an "installed" version of Chrome. But they have it set up so that every forced auto-update DELETES ANY AND ALL EXTENSIONS (which is way way way WAY too often!, feel like every two weeks but probably only three to four weeks, WAY TOO D#MN OFTEN!).

Actually, I do like it. I have an equal amount of affection towards Linux as I do my Commodore 64 emulator. They're lovely conversation pieces to throw on the screen and hear ooh's and ahh's when passerby's see the screen.

I get that first-session delay also. In *ALL* browsers. I've trained myself to LEAVE THE BROWSER OPEN with just one empty tab when hitting the "hibernate" button at the end of the day. No fix for a "restart". But since I only do a full "restart" once a YEAR or so, this workaround works for my needs.

Been there, done that. And like the million of people that SAY they will switch to Linux, here I am, on WINDOWS instead. Linux is a nice "idea". But it's never going to dethrone Windows. It's just an adjective thrown around like a dirty sock because the laundry room is too far of a walk.

None really click with me either! I have ZERO interest in updating my browser profile dozens of times per year. My only goal is for ONE PROFILE to last a YEAR OR TWO, three if I'm lucky. I was able to use GreenBrowser for ELEVEN YEARS! Mypal v27 for about two years. New Moon v28 for about two years. 360Chrome (v86) for about two years. Only time will tell if I will get two years out of Ungoogled v122. I still cannot figure out why my bank WORKS in Ungoogled v122, v123, and v124 *ONLY*. Nothing OLDER. Nothing NEWER. Users of Brave cite the same exact login issues with the same exact bank! I tried Ungoogled v131 just this morning and it does not work with my bank. Again, no clue why. I don't use Brave, I only follow the forum for my bank login issues. Again, hoping to get TWO years on this profile. No updates to it other than uBO lists, Stylus styles, and Tampermonkey scripts. No updates to uBO version, no updates to Stylus version, no updates to Tampermonkey version. No updates to Chromium v122 engine.

I don't think it's about the UE changing their minds. But rather silently admitting THEY MADE A MISTAKE. The whole "browser choice" EU thingy BACKFIRED. The EU fined Microsoft for having a 34% market share to Google's 26% and Firefox's 23%. See here. Think about it! Would Google really be at 65% of market share today if the EU DID NOT fine Microsoft over IE ??? And would Firefox be at a tiny 2.7% today if the EU would have allowed Google and Microsoft to spend ALL THEIR TIME "competing with each other" ??? EU had to learn this "Law of Unintended Consequences" for themselves (they drug the rest of the world with them). The US had to learn this lesson the hard way also (when we broke up AT&T). The Chrome Monopoly we have today can be, in essence, tracked down directly to the EU "Browser Choice" thingy. But maybe I'm just off my rocker, lol...

I guess that is our difference. I don't mind LEARNING a new GUI for the sake of PERFORMANCE. I could CARE LESS about "security/safety". That's an exaggeration. Slightly. "Security/safety" is all POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE. HYPE up the WHAZOO. Just be NET SAVVY - something most folks are clueless on what that even means. And only allow .js on "three out of every two hundred" web sites that you visit. Another SLIGHT exaggeration. There is "security/safety" risks just walking down the hallway in your house, just stepping out of your house into the "wilderness", just driving your car, just shopping for groceries. We can all be so paranoid of "security/safety" that we never walk down the hallway, never step out of the house, never drive the car, never shop for groceries. We are all going to draw our own line in the sand. Folks here at MSFN spout PARANOID DELUSIONS left and right. Some for "security/safety". Some for "privacy/telemetry". Some for "performance". ALL THREE HAVE THEIR MERITS.
