Hit F12 then hit F1 and then click the second entry in the first dropdown - that will put the console in English (I forbid fonts installing so my screencap will only show "squares" for fonts I can't read to begin with). v13.5 doesn't always "remember" this setting. I personally don't use any version higher then 13 build 2206 because all newer builds save settings in the same location that telemetry is stored. v13 build 2206 and OLDER is easier to prevent telemetry.

It's funny that some people will never open their web browser in a "maximized" window and tout that as a privacy concern, but yet they will run web-gl or web-rtc and those are both a thousand times worse than a web site knowing what your screen resolution is.

When you launch 360Chrome, immediately hit F12 then open the Network tab. Maybe some of your extensions are doing some downloading/uploading behind your back. Or use something like DNSQuerySniffer or TcpLogView (both from NirSoft) to see if you have some unexpected network traffic.

I just noticed something! @Dave-H can EDIT his posts WITHOUT the post adding the "Edited <time> ago by Dave-H" footnote. Thankfully I already had the post "quoted" before the Ignoring the spelling error (it should be writeable) was EDITED OUT without the "Edited <time> ago" footnote added when that EDIT was made. Caught you, Mr. Dave-H. In other news, the spelling error first pointed out by Dave-H is not actually a spelling error. Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo will all flag "writeable" as mispelled but accepts "writable" as properly spelled.

Hmm, not seeing that here. Are you using anything special as your startup tab in Settings -> Basics -> On Startup ?

(not to go all-caps on you, but...) LOL

This one works, not sure if this meets your expectations -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/3376/

Now, now. That's not entirely fair. You and I had a v13.5 discussion where we tried some write-protect file/folder naming scheme. I had to roll that experiment back as far as a general-use release, but the method is still valid, just not perhaps for "all" files/folders. But YES, agreed. Sometimes there "sounds like" a lot of hate out of nowhere. Hades, I've had those "sounds-like scenarios" with D.Draker and with Dixel (and with msfntor but for totally different reasons). Speaking first-hand and as apologetic as possible, I do think that D.Draker, Dixel, and me kinda brings it upon ourselves at times. Give me a second here before flocking feathers, lol. I say that admitting at least "partial" blame. PERSONALITY CLASHES are a PART OF LIFE. They are EASIER to "de-escalate" in REAL LIFE as opposed to written form on a forum. D.Draker, Dixel, and me all have somewhat of a "dominanat personality", somewhat of an "alpha dog persona". At least that's how I "read" us three. We are (not to sound egotistic or anything) "above average intelligence" and we (dare I say) "know it all". Some times "knowing it all" and 'coming acrosss' as "knowing it all" can be a tad bit "aggressive" or even "hostile" to those that also "know it all" but are less "dominant" as far as their "personality". Not sure if that makes any sense, but that's my "read" / "insight". Onward and upward

Will do some digging. I've admittedly never used a web browser spell checker in my entire existence, so totally and completely starting from zero knowledge.

ps - use the "regular" versions, you don't need an "sse" build. The "sse" builds are basically fall-back options for people with CPU's that are are TWENTY YEARS OLD. Yours is "only" TEN years old.

There is no answer to that. None! You will need to try them all and decide that for yourself. It really boils down to what YOU use your browser for. Some folks play online games - I do not. Some folks require WebGL - I do not. Some folks are heavy into Twitter and Facebook - I've never visited either. Some folks stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, et cetera - I do not. Some folks are huge into YouTube - I am not. Some folks use YouTube alternatives that seem to be more problematic than YouTube itself. Some folks stream online audio that some browsers are fine with for half an hour or so but start to skip or stutter if left open all day long. You really need to answer this question on your own. There is no answer. If there were, there wouldn't be so many to begin with. They all have pros. They all have cons.

You got it, dudine. waka waka waka

Thanks, dude! (I could not resist, lol) I will say that when I was attending college (go Boilermakers!), I had a very diverse group of friends. Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, European, African American, Latino. "Dude" is one of those words we use and it will almost always be followed by other cultures asking what that means. Granted, this was also in the 90s and the world is much more "connected" then it was back then. Context is often conveyed not by the word itself but by the entire sentence and often times facial expression is needed. If I go back even further, I went to a Catholic High School and we had a Priest that tought some of our classes. We never called him "dude" but we did call him "Padre". HE felt like that was disrespectful but the more we did it anyway, the more he realized it was more in "camraderie" than anything at all to do with "respect" or "disrespect".

Reminder - I disable webgl and remove swiftshader ON PURPOSE. If your end-use requires these "security vulnerabilities", then I have already discussed how you can add these "features" back in. As also already discussed, I have no intentions of adding these as default out-of-the-box functionality.

This is not a "debate". The fact of the matter is SIMPLE - when you have an issue in DcBrowser, 360Chrome, and St55 then that website was designed for MUCH HIGHER than XP SP2. I have officially added you to the "ignore" feature of this website. Label that "making my life easier", don't care, life is too short to assist you personally at such a high frequency. There aren't that many of us that are "active" on this forum - I am not here to assist you on a personal basis on the "hundreds" of posts you are constantly finding. These "findings" are YOUR problem, not MINE. Have a great New Year.

I would like to propose that for the New Year, that @msfntor consider please starting his own thread as opposed to cross-posting identical issues in this thread, in Humming Owl's thread, and in Roytam's thread each and every time he finds some sort of nuance in the "hundreds" of browsers (I'm exaggerating, "slightly") that he seems to use on a daily basis.

Works for me. Just do not start posting "use Linux" every other post. Because whether you see it or not, that's what most Linux-users do. They "troll" WINDOWS forums and post USELESS "use Linux" BS. But anywhoo...

Here you go -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2rvqtwvo02zhm0/5er_UpdatePack_XPx64SP2_2017-06_2.7z

Ta da! Kinda suprised I found it that fast, to be honest, I thought I might be digging through DVD-R's for a couple of hours, lol. Will upload and provide a link shortly.

Did find "5er_UpdatePack_XPx64SP2_2015-07_1.7z". Will keep hunting but if you can use this one instead, please let me know.

Digging through my archives. I might have it.

I've decided to be a tad more non-conformist than normal. Boiling water on the stove for two ears of corn on the cob - for breakfast.

Agreed! And apologies, I slightly edited and added "while" you were quoting me, lol.

I personally find that to be one of Linux's downfalls. Don't get me wrong, I like "experimenting" and "tinkering" and I consider myself much more "advanced" and "geeky" than the vast majority of "computer users". And I have EIGHT computers so I can "experiment" on one and "use" another. I personally roll my eyes in disgust when I hear "people" (I wanted to swear here, but I'll refrain) say things like "use Linux" when people (non-swear general populous) using WINDOWS ask a question on a WINDOWS forum! It's basically "trolling". Lurch around on a WINDOWS forum just to throw out "use Linux" each and every chance you get? To be fair, that same type of person exists on Linux forums but they stand on their soap box and shout "noobie" when people ask questions. Here's a fun read -- https://devrant.com/rants/1447500/i-really-honestly-am-getting-annoyed-when-someone-tells-me-that-linux-is-user-fr I'll use my uncle as an example on why that timeline is kind of the "downfall" to Linux. My uncle retired from GM and my cousin worked two summers with a mutual fund investment firm before he decided to go into law enforcement instead. This is several years before GM went bankrupt and required a "government bailout" (one moment while I spit on the ground in disgust!). His 401k had THIRTY mutual funds to choose from. The vast majority of factory employees (even on the salaried side like my uncle!) are "clueless" when it comes to taking a list of THIRTY mutual funds and narowing it down to three or so to allocate funds into. So he never did! Despite asking me and my cousin to assist him! So GM defaulted his retirement funds into GM stock. No diversification, just one basket, all GM stock. My uncle is the type that used to cuss and swear when anybody would "attempt" to park in his driveway with a FOREIGN car. But because my uncle did not want to take the time to research THIRTY mutual funds and allocate his 401k properly, he took a major beating when GM "restructured". He drives a TOYOTA now! Point is, having "that many" Linux distros is kinda along the same lines. "In my view." "Mileage may vary."

Wow! Holy Crap! I didn't see "Linux Mint Cinnamon" but in hunting for its branch I saw something called "Commodore OS". Wonder if it's a Commordore 64 clone?
