Proxomitron is not going to be for everyone. My biggest thing is this, you can create uBlock rules to kill the keylogger on MSFN but that rule will do nothing for the 9,999 other sites that you visit where 1,234 of them are logging your keystrokes - you blocked the logger on 1 out of 1,234. But by killing the keylogger using Proxomitron instead, I have safeguarded myself on 1,000 of the 1,234 websites instead of just 1. Sure, there's still 234 out there still logging my keystrokes, but I've never visited them before and likely won't visit them in the future. And if I do visit one of them, I edit Proxomitron to include it also and now I'm up to 1,001. Drastic times call for drastic measures. Sure, it's only MSFN's keylogger "today", but will you catch the next web site that's logging your keys? Kinda doesn't surprise me. I've often opted to keep "older" extensions and disable any-and-all "automatic updates".

I can confirm that the "keylog" is being uploaded to MSFN servers. Why would we expect otherwise, I suppose. How? Because with Proxomitron I can "fake" my cookie by logging in, copying cookie contents, then logging out. Then I can use those cookie contents "in the future", a day, a week, a month, and see what the keylogger contained "yesterday" when accessing MSFN "today". The good news is that Proxomitron disables the keylogger by killing this "timer" (no uBlock required, just Proxomitron's default config in Advanced Mode) -

Please note how OLD those articles are. We shouldn't think that the sky is falling and our computers aren't "secure" based on OLD articles stating THEORIES. That's why I want to see a real-life example and screencaps "blocking" the CNAME trickery and "not blocking" the CNAME trickery. Hulu and KISSmetrics were SUED over ETag "respawning" in 2011/2012 - so while ETag "respawning" is a THEORETICAL vulnerability, nobody does them anymore so why jump through hoops over THEORETICALS ??? Like I say, I want to see a "before and after" screencap to truly assess the "issue".

Found a solution, but unsure if this is your expectation or not. Are you accustomed to having to scroll to the right for "wide" pages with this font extension? Because what msn.com is doing is declaring an @media screen and (min-width: ) declaration and intentionally hiding the horizontal scrollbar. You can revert to having a normal horizontal scrollbar by using this as your Custom.css - /* Limit font size */ * { font-size: 14px !important; } body { overflow-x: unset !important; } Or we could attempt a font-size that utilizes @media screen and only adust accordingly - I'll let you try the above and go from there if it's not exactly what you had in mind.

Hmmm... Well, I didn't go so far as to install your extension but I like the method that you used for a CustomCss. I'm kind of reading between the lines here, but my hunch is that you use a custom operating system DPI or that you have a default zoom to enlarge EVERYTHING but then you end up with fonts that were already large being TOO LARGE. So you normalize everything to a default 14px and then your DPI or zoom puts that 14px where you can read it. What happens if you change your * { font-size: 14px !important } to body, html, * { font-size: 14px !important; } Note that I also have an intentional ; right after !important - it souldn't matter but I'm pretty sure all css declarations are supposed to end in one, not sure.

The MSFN café - A Penny for Your Thoughts
NotHereToPlayGames replied to XPerceniol's topic in Funny Farm
I'm only in my upper 40s and don't drink or smoke and decent BMI so basically "healthy as a horse". I consider myself lucky that I caught covid in January 2020 - before we even really knew what it was. We had close to a dozen folks at work taking sick days for the flu - that's all we thought it was. When March rolled around, we finally knew what it was and it was this time that the local Fiat Chrysler Transmission Plant basically scared the entire town with a confirmed case. I say scared the town because the local media basically had covid pegged as "if you catch this, you WILL die!" You'd think I was exaggerating, but I promise you that I am not. This thing scared the Living Sh#t out of this community. Others at work didn't see the writing on the wall, but I kinda did. I had antibody tests performed by my doctor to find out if what I had in January was covid or not. I am exempt from company vaccine mandates because my antibody tests confirmed that what I had was not the flu, but was in fact covid. Others have the choice of weekly covid tests or getting vaccinated and not having to do weekly covid tests. Didn't miss any work (Mon thru Fri) but "took a point" and skipped a Saturday because of flu-like symptoms. Needless to say, coworkers (at the time) were kind of ticked off at me for being at work that Friday when they found out I didn't miss work. But again, none of us knew about covid at the time, it was just regular ol' seasonal flu. We've had close to three dozen have covid since and they've all been extremely minor - but mandated 14 days off work. I do consider myself lucky that I had covid before we really knew what it was and at "healthy as a horse". I do reallize that it is much MUCH different for "unhealthy" folks. edit - I say "lucky" because at the time my thoughts were basically along the lines of "20yr olds catch this and don't loose a day, 60yrs old catch this and die, I *want* to catch this at 40+ so I don't have to live a life of never catching it but then catching it at 70 and dying from it". But then we found (at least so far) that each "mutation" is less and less of an issue. So (fingers crossed) the variant that will be around when I'm 70 will just be a runny nose after so many mutations. But yeah, mutations can go the other way also. -

Unsure if this practice is still prevalent or not (companies were sued over it circa 2011 (hulu?)), basically there were web sites that could "recreate" / "respawn" a DELETED cookie by using the Etag http header. This is the Proxomitron filter that us Proxomitron users were using to prevent that "respawning". I still keep this in my config but I do not have any in-the-wild examples where "respawning" is known to still be employed or not - I keep it more as an err-on-the-safe-side approach. In = TRUE Out = FALSE Key = "ETag: Always Remove 11.08.16 [jjoe] (o.0) (In) [add++]" Match = "\1&$LOG(CGET $DTM(c) : ETag removed: \1)"

The MSFN café - A Penny for Your Thoughts
NotHereToPlayGames replied to XPerceniol's topic in Funny Farm
Forgot to mention, and again I kinda rely on the neighbor for most of this info, not the news, but somebody that works IN THE FIELD - she claims that a large number of deaths that are reported as covid deaths were not in fact covid deaths. A gunshot victim or car crash victim would be counted among the covid numbers even if that gunshot or car crash was the "real" cause of death, but since "covid" was found in the lungs (my assumption here), then they were "counted" as a covid death. At any rate, I'm just tired of all of the BS and still have my fingers crossed that we return to "normal". I have no intention of wearing a USELESS mask for the next TWENTY YEARS all because "politicians" don't want to give up their "control" over rules we must follow but they don't think apply to them. Any whoo... -

I'm no doctor, but my neighbor is. She threatened to quit her job three/four weeks ago due to a vaccine mandate that would have required she be vaccinated (she still to this day is NOT vaccinated). She's a consultation physician and to me at least it sounds like when I do jobs as a "consultant". I am exempt from "union rules" at most of the companies that I do consultant work for. The way she tells it, the only reason she was allowed to keep her job and remain UNVACCINATED is because of a Supreme Court ruling (which I have not been following). At any rate, that aside, me and my neighbor are both of the "opinion" (we acknowledge that is is "opinion" but there is "some" studies that back it up, but just as many studies that refute it, but I cannot claim to be following these studies personally, the neighbor is however and I kinda take her word for it), where was I, oh, it is my "opinion" that the folks that have died from covid were in such a state of health that they were going to die anyway, not from covid but something much less "deadly" than covid. So in my view, all of this "crap" that the US and other countries have been doing in the "guise" of 'safety' is all just BS. Opinions vary, of course. But that's mine True. -
