I tend to NOT use the "latest-and-greatest" version of most of my extensions ON PURPOSE. Newer often times just means a newer "feature" was added. But if that "feature" is a security/privacy risk, then all you did was shoot yourself in the foot thinking "it's newer, it has to be better". Flags: --disable-logging --no-default-browser-check --disable-component-update --disable-background-networking --allow-outdated-plugins --kiosk-printing --disable-print-preview --cipher-suite-blacklist=0xe013 --disable-webgl --js-flags=--noexpose_wasm I do NOT use any uMatrix/uBlock "lists" (one that I used to use is still listed in my profile but unchecked). I use MVPS HOSTS file but tend to only update once every six months or so. A ton of site-specific uMatrix and NoScript rules not included below. I rarely visit YouTube but since it has such a gigantic following amongst MSFN members I have two extensions just for a site I almost never visit.

JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT I allow JS on my banking and billpay, but the vast majority of the rest of my browsing experience is for READING the content on a web site, which works perfectly fine without JS BS (not "always", but good enough for me, I'll just go to a DIFFERENT source where I can READ the content without JS BS).

Calling it "deadly" is "fear mongering", if I may be so bold! -
I patiently await @feodor2's "Mypal 2.0". NONE of Roytam's builds will work on one of my savings/IRA account web sites (in XP, 7, or 10!) so that alone kinda makes them all useless to me. I used to do that for years, maintain one browser for these web sites, maintain another browser for those web sites, I have zero interest in doing that anymore, life is too short. I miss when Mypal 27.9.4 performed everything I threw at it Hopefully "Mypal 2.0" (or whatever it's going to be called) will return me to Firefox-based. TBD edit - and NONE of Roytam's builds will work for my American Water billpay web site (in XP, 7, or 10!).

4 vs 5 columns wasn't the solution afterall. The d@mn resize-on-hover preview is back. Any suggestions? I'm fine with the autoplay preview, but I really hate it RESIZING!

Too funny! Yeah, I saw it, liked it, sent to family and friends, then I guess I accidentally went full-circle and posted here without realizing here is where I got it, lol. -

Disregard, I found a solution. The previews do not enlarge when I force only 4 columns of thumbnails (my widescreen resolution defaults to 5 columns).

Can anybody help in finding the css selector(s) for YouTube to NOT increase the SIZE of the video when you hover over it with the mouse? PLAY the video is FINE, but to ENLARGE it just because my mouse is hovering over it is a d@mn NUISANCE and I can't find the css selector to disable this NUISANCE. Many thanks in advance.

ps - I'll "judge" another's computer skills every day of the week, but I strive to not judge anyone's "religion". -

Let's refrain from turning this into a religious debate. You want the perpetrators to go to h#ll, you said so yourself. I prefer a more "hopeful" approach on life, NEVER judge anyone, NEVER condemn another to h#ll, because I have no clue what is in their heart "today" or, often more importantly, what is in their heart "tomorrow". "Hope" to me is still of a spiritual nature. We have a "president" that tried to make it forever "political" instead, but to me "hope" is still of a spiritual nature. Hope springs eternal. ~Alexander Pope - An Essay on Man. -

True. But the whole "faceless" persona caused more harm than good! We had (still have!) very polarizing "discussions" because people "hide behind their keyboards". Extreme devastation for millions of teenagers, especially girls. I have daughters! I have neices! The world went to H#LL when "parents" started giving TWELVE YEAR OLDS a phone and did so in the guise of "security". -

I laugh my a@@ off when I read forum posts boasting "security and privacy" and yet see their PICTURE as a profile avatar. Generally a sign of a very large "social media" presence. Not always, but generally. -

I live in a small midwest town so nowhere near "represented" in the media that all originate from gigantic metropolitan sky-rise-building cities with more people living in one sky rise then living in my entire town. I also live in a "swing state". We vote "red" and "blue" almost equally. There was a common joke around year or so when stores and restaurants were opening up and there were no more "restrictions" on store occupancy. We went through a phase where security was placed at store doors, nobody allowed in until somebody already inside exited the building. This didn't last long, but really showed how DIVIDED our nation is! And how POLITICAL this "pandemic" is! As a way to cease-and-decist with all of the DIVISIVE POLITICS, our town put a stop to the "restrictions" long before cities "represented" by national/international media put a stop to theirs (most still ongoing to this day!). But this "swing state" has several retailers that are "owned and operated" by a "blue" state to our north. So the JOKE that was prominant about a year ago was this - those "blue-owned" companies would have to follow the letter of the law for their "blue" state even though the store is in a "red/swing" state. So while 80% of retailers no longer mandated masks be worn, these "blue-owned" retailers still mandated masks. So the JOKE was this - "Oh, your company's president voted for Biden so your company is toeing the Biden Line". We could tell which companies were "locally owned" and which were owned by the larger state to our north ALL ON ACCOUNT OF which retailers were forcing masks in their stores when the rest of the town no longer does. NONE of them force masks anymore! And I sure as "F" hope those d@mn mandates are gone FOREVER! -

ps - I'm all for us using computers to stay well-informed. But not if your sole source of "information" is "social media" and you don't have some tiny shread of "trust but VERIFY" approach towards your "information"! -

I've considered myself fortunate in regards to the whole "to vax or not to vax" drama. I worked for a Fortune 500 company with right around 380 employees when covid first broke out. There were several of us that got it BEFORE the international medical community even knew what it was! MILD cases! All of us in our mid-20's to early 50's. What p!sses me off about the "media" is that they want everybody to think that "everybody" that catches it will be "hospitalized" or "near death". THAT'S JUST MEDIA STUPIDITY! SOME of the media isn't as bad now, TWO YEARS LATER, but you can still see the "near death" undertones or the "you are killing your grandmother if you don't get vaccinated" B#LLSH!T in the "media". Those of us at the Fortune 500 company that had a MILD case, had a couple of documented sick days, and provided HR with documented proof of medical care - we have been exempted from the vaccine "mandate" on grounds of "natural immunity". But vaxxed or not, this company still mandates ALL employees wear a mask all day - ONE mask handed to us by security when we clock in. Don't get me started on ONE mask being worn 8hrs+ per day. Don't get me started that ONE hour into our day, everybody's mask is worn and fuzzy and dirty because everybody "picks at it" with dirty fingers that have touched everything in sight! It's become nothing but a laughing-stock, nobody wearing their mask above their nose, "supervisors" not doing their REAL job but think they've earned a salary by telling everybody to "pull their mask up". Despite they themselves dangling their mask from one ear, exposing mouth and nose, when they sit at their desk - THREE FEET away from somebody else with a dangling mask. -
My Browser Builds (Part 3)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I have always thought the same! I personally used Mypal for close to two years before several of my banking sites would no longer work on it. I used an OLD version that does NOT have the raccoon logo! I tried several times to compile my own Mypal for no other reason than to remove the raccoon logo! But when my banking sites stopped working on it, despite using an OLD version, even the NEW versions of Mypal, NM27, NM28, and BNav would not work on those banking sites either. So I at least never had to use the "raccoon versions" because my banking sites kinda forced me into 360Chrome. -
