    Why the %U at the end of the line?

    360Chrome's Do Not Track "checkbox" DOES work -- https://browserleaks.com/donottrack Whether the websites that you visit adheres to your request or even "listens" for DNT is another story altogether.

    DNT (Do Not Track) is useless, in my opinion. https://spreadprivacy.com/do-not-track/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90308068/how-the-tragic-death-of-do-not-track-ruined-the-web-for-everyone Google, Facebook, and Twitter publicly disclose that they DO NOT adhere to "Do Not Track". Do Not Track is about as foolproof as putting a sign on your front lawn that says “Please, don’t look into my house” while all of your blinds remain open and you dance naked in your living room.

    Ouch! I admit that this one comes as a slight shock! I still "trust" 360Chrome and all of our telemetry removals, but this discovery indicates we have more to do. I've been combing through a v11 rebuild with a fine-tooth comb and was looking to remove GUI "checkboxes" for features that do not work (ie, I already remove DNS-over-HTTPS from the GUI because this does not work in 360Chrome). But instead found something present in all of my builds, in a @Dixel build he graciously shared privately (many thanks again), and in @Humming Owl builds. SEVERAL of the "checkboxes" present in 360Chrome's settings pages simply do not do anything! Below is a video of a screengrab using one of @Humming Owl's builds - note all of the "checkboxes" that are UNCHECKED. There should NOT be any "prediction" stuff going on when these are UNCHECKED. Watch the DNSQuerySniffer when I am typing text into the address bar, never hitting Enter, just typing text, backspacing, typing more text. ALL versions of 360Chrome make DNS lookups when text is being typed in the address bar - this to me is a "suggestion" or a "prediction" but I have those "checkboxes" UNCHECKED/DISABLED. Here's the screengrab video -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/jp13acg6ie3cpwh/prediction-service.mp4

    I do! I still have my Commodore 64 - and it still works!

    I'm fairly confident that the "user experience" one does not work. Problem with it though is that it is ENABLED by DEFAULT (for new profiles, I ship mine with a 'new-but-empty profile' so mine ships with it disabled). I don't see it DO anything when it is "enabled", but it is nice to "see" it UNCHECKED.

    To each their own, of course, but I personally have ZERO use for a "dark theme" for my web browser when my computer has five widescreen monitors and a web browser isn't the "only" software I use. I personally find it UGLY to have one monitor with a dark-themed web browser while other programs on other monitors look NORMAL. All five of my monitors do have their contrast/brightness at only 40% so it's not like the neighbors are calling, "Hey, turn off your computer! I can't sleep with all that brightness!". I have considered a "toggle" switch that would switch between two XP themes, one for you "vampires" and the other for us "normal" folks. But I haven't dug deep enough to see if that is possible, some form of "toggle" that would sit down in the lower right corner of the status bar.

    That is my version but you changed the skin. I do not have a "dark theme" (and likely never will, apologies).

    It's not a knee-jerk reaction. This has been brewing since 2017. I fully support Roytam and hope that Feodor2 hasn't succombed to some form of "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate". But at the same time, despite likely being in the minority here, I also fully support Moonchild Productions remaining a viable browser alternative "for the masses" (XP is not "for the masses", despite my prejudice towards XP Forever!).

    The Pale Moon team agrees with him and is okay with him being "the collective voice" or he would have been removed from the team years ago, it's not like this is "new" behavior, the environment has been "toxic" since 2017 in some circles, 2018 in others. The trailing 12 months have been BRUTALLY TOXIC. I prefer not to take sides, to be honest, but one thing that I don't technically understand or know the history of is "how" we ended up with a "BNavigator" by Roytam 'based on' a Binary Outcast project that to the best of my knowledge IS STILL NOT PUBLIC I do, admittedly, feel like maybe, just maybe, that Roytam kinda steamrolled Binary Outcast and stole his thunder. I realize that "stole" is not the right word here. I use Roytam's "BNavigator" and I keep my eye out for Binary Outcast's website to have a download link, I often wonder if Binary Outcast abandoned the project "because of" Roytam's "BNavigator". If so, I find that just as troublesome as Tobin (and Crew) pulling the plug on Mypal

    Assistance Requested -- There are several "options" available that I cannot find any way to PROVE that they actually DO anything - 1) Advanced -> Network -> Enable speed optimizations 2) Advanced -> Background Apps -> Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors 3) Advanced -> Background Apps -> Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly 4) Advanced -> Background Apps -> Protect you and your device from dangerous sites 5) Advanced -> Background Apps -> Speed up the browser with smart prereading 6) Advanced -> Background Apps -> Join user experience plan to help us improve our products 7) Lab -> Acceleration -> Prerender link below mouse 8) Lab -> System -> Disable operating system virtual keyboard I keep all of these unchecked/disabled - but my point is that if they don't actually DO anything, then I no longer want them "cluttering up" the GUI. And I cannot find any way to PROVE that these settings actually DO anything when checked/enabled.

    What are you finding not in English? 12v4 on my end has everything in English.

    @NoBuggingPlz - Please try my v12 and v13. This v12 should keep cache and cookies between sessions, I don't recall if this v13 clears cache on exit or not. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gimydyfv57rr2fp/360ChromePortable_12.0.1247_rebuild_4.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fk69d5jhc2vwyg/360ChromePortable_13.0.2206_rebuild_4.zip

    Thanks, it looked familiar, just forgot "where".
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    What website is that protocol and mixed-content screencap from?
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Ah, now I follow. Which english modified versions have you tried? Are they all giving you that "butt-ugly" GUI font?

    I'm not able to test some UXP 52's and 55's at the moment (none installed). But I'd bet "dollars to doughnuts" that if you downgraded to an "older" version then your Twitter will work just fine. I had that way too many times to count with NM27 and NM28 - the "weekly" updates causing more harm than good (just my opinion, I still value the project!). At least until a "workaround" or a Roytam "fix" comes along.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    There is. It's called "The Toe Bin".

    I don't use Twitter at all. Anything and everything "Facebook" and "Twitter" is blocked by my uMatrix setup. Until just a month or two ago, "YouTube" was treated the same way - I only allow it because EVERYBODY here uses YouTube as theee "test" for whether or not their browser "works". Don't you have to have an "account" to even view Twitter?

    Can you detail step-by-step your process in "replacing russian repack with the english modified version"? You copying and pasting files between versions?
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    XP doesn't do that "font substitution" (not without jumping through some big hoops). What you appear to have there is a who-knows-what mix of several things all at the same time -- font substitution at the OS level, Unicode at the OS level, anti-alias modifications at the OS level.

    The post-it notes would be dated on when I added the company to my "watch list". The IT Manager was convinced that it was a hidden code for basically only three passwords required for various network applications. He thought that if I put all of the pink post-it notes in chronological order, that was one password. Put all of the yellow post-it notes in chronological order, using only those with one text string, that was another password. For the next couple of weeks, all 20 or so of us that were in that meeting put random post-it notes anywhere and everywhere. The receptionist always brown-bagged her lunch and always used a post-it note whenever she left something in the refigerator. She wasn't in the meeting but it got to the point where she would no longer put her NAME and DATE on her refrigerator items (a prerequisite by the cleaning crew), but was putting things like "The password is 'pAsswOrd' ".

    My office desk several years ago and two jobs ago almost always had a stack of 10 to 20 post-it notes with anywhere from only one to ten or so seemingly random text strings of three to five characters. One day the IT Manager calls me out specifically in a meeting with about 20 of us and reminds us all that passwords are not supposed to be written down where prying eyes could find them. Accusing me of violating company policy, then he asks "Why do you have so many passwords?" My first reply was, "They're not passwords, they are all text only and no numbers, all of our passwords are not only alphanumeric but also have to be a minumum of 12 characters long." STILL accusing me of violating company policy, he INSISTS that I reveal the "hidden meaning" behind all of my post-it notes. "They're stock market ticket symbols that I'm monitoring as investment opportunities." edit: meant to say ticker, not ticket

    I don't doubt that there "might" be a global setting somewhere - but I've never been able to find it

    No easy answer. There are literally thousands of line items that effect what you are asking. And those thousands exist in TRIPLICATE if not QUADRUPLICATE. If you'd like to start hunting for that needle in a haystack, navigate through your 360Chrome's folders and find the folder named skin. You will find several .srx files - they are just .zip files with the extension renamed. 7zip will extract them without having to rename them. Inside the .srx files are several .xml files - read through a few of them and you'll see how gigantic your question is.
