Same here, @Mr.Scienceman2000. A LOT of folks here at MSFN like to post YouTube "content" and I always just get gigantic empty space because I do not allow YouTube content unless the domain I am on is YouTube. So my Stylus kills the gigantic empty space and I just read on past it, "Not worth seeing if it's an embedded YouTube on a non-YouTube domain."

Hmm, interesting. Would you be able to repeat the test with 13 r 4 and 13 r 5 three times each with new profiles for all three tests (six total)? I'm curious to see if all three new profiles for 13 r 4 especially DOESN'T add for all three new profiles.

I've always kind of been a "browser junkie". I'll have ONE default browser that has to work on ALL of my 24 bookmarked finance, news, and entertainment websites. But tend to always have a small handful of browsers "on the side". My longest-running default was GreenBrowser coupled with Proxomitron - 17yr run at least, could be more (going by my archived installation disks). During that run, my secondary tended to be Sleipnir and I kept Maxthon and Opera around but didn't really use them that often. It became a daily "tweak" to keep Proxomitron happy with all of my bookmarks (back then a much longer list of daily forums and whatnot that I've lost track of). A couple finance sites would no longer work so that lead me to "official" Pale Moon which I used for three, maybe four years, right in through there. I discovered Mypal to load FASTER and work on everything I needed it to work on and used it for two or three years. NM28 became my default for a few months or so but then opted for NM27 and it was my default for two or three years. I grew tiresome of updating WEEKLY and also found that NEWER versions of NM28 and NM27 were actually performing SLOWER than older versions. So I dropped back down to Mypay 27.9.4 for only about a year until having issues with the same couple of finance sites that lead me to "official" Pale Moon in the first place. I then ran 360Chrome v13 for several months and have been on 360Chrome v12 for the last couple of months. I use 360Chrome v11 in most of my VirtualBox VMs.

The user has to USE the search engine in order for it to be added to the "other" list. You can VISIT the search engine and it won't be added to the list, but if you USE the search engine then you basically "opted in" for it to be added. I personally dislike this so I use Tampermonkey to prevent it.

I wouldn't classify FF as "that good" (far from, in my opinion). FF did have a "Lemmings-Like" "Cult Following" in the late 90s - and a "cult" seems like the best way to describe it "in hindsight". People "flocked" (pun intended, Flock was the name of another web browser back in that era) to FF in droves, "no questions asked", it was touted as the "safest" and most "secure" and people bought into the HYPE. According to this article ( https://www.visualcapitalist.com/internet-browser-market-share/ ), FF peaked at 32% market share (I guess it actually surprises me that it peaked that LOW, but it was during an era of cell phone browsers carving out small slices of market share). Also according to the same article, it looks like Chrome is on track to be only the third web browser to surpass 90% market share. This page ( https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share ) puts Chrome at 65%.
-
Agreed, not really worth "following".
-
Can't. End users will have to install Tampermonkey then install that userscript.
-
Okay, this works to block all of the search engines that you cited.
-
I'm not finding anything that will block Infinity Search, Okeano, and Swisscows. I'm sticking with this for now -- https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/375216-block-opensearch-descriptions/code
-
This userscript now replaces my old and it will block Time.is -- https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/375216-block-opensearch-descriptions/code But does not block Infinity Search, Okeano, and Swisscows.
-
The userscript I was using did not block Time.is. Investigating...
-
Those search engines are being added by a Chrome/Chromium "feature" called OpenSearch (Firefox, Safari, and Edge all do this also) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSearch Previously discussed here on MSFN -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/?do=findComment&comment=1203764 I personally disable this "feature" through the use of a Tampermonkey userscript -- https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/37186-disable-opensearch/code

What I am seeing, based solely on your information, is that Humming Owl's releases broke some javascript and then displayed it as text instead of performing the "function" that the javascript was intended to perform. But that mine did not break the javascript so the broken code was not displayed as text. Or, the broken javascript code is simply "dropped" / "ignored" by my builds but Humming Owl's doesn't know what to do with it so it displays it as text. Not sure what you think needs "fixed" here. If it sets your mind at ease, I opened that link and clicked the gigantic YOU in Dixel's v13 360Chrome, Humming Owl's v13 360Chrome, and my v12 360Chrome both in XP x64 SP2 and in Win7 x86 and all three gave me the EXACT results, letter for letter. So then I installed Chrome v94.0.4606.71 in Win7 and it too gave me the same EXACT results. Mozilla-based browser will give an entirely different view. Maybe that "test page" is intentionally 'coded' to only work on Firefox and not on Chrome - who knows.
-
Can you post a screencap? I'm showing the exact same thing for both mine and Humming Owl's. Is this possibly an XP x86 SP2 issue?
-
Yes, but what am I looking for? The Thursday, April 21, 2011 4:41 AM ???
-
Different "how" for whoownsmyavailability? I get a gigantic "YOU" in six different browsers that I opened that link in. You can only change the Power Save setting when running on BATTERY via a LAPTOP.
-
v11 is the way a "dark theme" SHOULD BE. v12 and higher approach is just Google being a MONOPOLY. But I digress...
-
That's SP3, not SP2. I have zero problems getting SP3 to run - 7 out of 8 of my computers are running XP x86 SP3, the remaining 1 out of 8 of my computers is running XP x64 SP2.
-
Same here! But for x86 SP3! I do have a VANILLA x86 SP2 "installed and running" on an old Compaq Presario - but I cannot get ANY web browser to WORK on it! I really think that what you have (and the other x86 SP2 users frequenting MSFN) is NOT a "vanilla" version of x86 SP2 - I think you have "patched the crap out of it" in order to get it to WORK. By "vanilla", I took my original retail XP install disk, installed XP untouched/unmodified, all default settings. Then I installed SP2 carried to the POS (no affiliation with POSReady) via memory stick and installed SP2. So my XP x86 SP2 is VANILLA, PURE, SNOW-WHITE, VIRGIN, UNADULTERATED, IMMACULATE, PRISTINE, UNBLEMISHED, IN MINT CONDITION, UNPOLLUTED, et cetera. And I cannot get ANY web browser to WORK on it!
-
@CIACIACIACIACIACIA - seems to me that your system should be capable of all of the 360Chrome builds. I have no experience with Greek XP and also no experience with KB2584577-x86-enu.exe, unsure if my install has it or not.
-
Does that mean you don't "like" XP x86 SP2? I thought you "preferred" it over x86 SP3? (I personally do not, I remember doing HUNDREDS of performance metrics back when SP3 was "new" and I concluded ZERO reason to stay with SP2 and never looked back [until 360Chrome kinda created a temporary curiosity].)
-
Added new links (first post of this thread) for my new v11 rebuilds for XP x86 SP2 based on @we3fan's and @Humming Owl's experimental x86 SP2 tests. Regular and Ungoogled. Please note that I have not tested these and I have abandoned installing XP x86 SP2 on an old machine worth more to me gathering dust than getting x86 SP2 up and running.
-
Being off by one hour seems very minor to me. I have to "deal with" that 6 months each and every year because the "gubberment" falsely thinks that "daylight savings" is a 'good idea'. Spring Forward, Fall Back -- most retarded idea the "gubberment" has ever come up with in my (not so humble) opinion!
-
Noted. @we3fan assisted @Humming Owl in an XP x86 SP2 set of modifications that I have not ported to my release(s) yet. I should be able to get to that later this week and upload a set of XP x86 SP2 releases. I need to catch up on that list of modifications but if memory servers, it only pertains to v9 and v11. Since I don't release a v9 (at least yet, not sure if that is down the road or not), I think I only need to rebuild my v11. Will visit as time permits...

Doesn't download from the download link in Post #1 of this thread? Or downloads from the download link in Post #1 but when you open a website from it and that website has a download link, that download isn't downloading?
