My Browser Builds (Part 3)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I was never really a fan of Basilisk. Everything on the web I've ever needed would always work in NM27 / NM28 / BNav. Well, until recent year or so and I've needed Chromium-based. What am I missing that's supposed to be so special about Basilisk? -
My Browser Builds (Part 3)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
To Moonchild - Just read your "A change of direction for Pale Moon in 2022" thread in its entirety. BRAVO! I look forward to the new direction! -
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. -

Easy, Grasshopper! Judge not lest ye be judged. -

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.
