    My rebuilds use the loader .ini file, Humming Owl rebuilds do not.

    That was it! Good find! Trial runs with and without that icon and I'm going to go ahead and keep it. I just didn't like the idea of URL Suggestions or Prediction Services kicking in but this is not related to those features.

    lol, no prob. I just didn't want to add it to my next uploaded rebuild if I didn't know "what" it was doing or "if" it was needed. The "_" at the beginning and ending inside the quotation marks is also not needed. Thanks for the find! I personally have no interest in videos (on the computer) any higher than 720p but I certainly understand why the capability needs to be there for those that do have that preference.

    I do not delete these because they are re-created every time that a new browser session is launched. I have not seen these ever get "updated" or "added to" from session to session. By deleting these files, the computer just has to consume CPU cycles and HDD read/writes to recreate a file with each and every browser launch that is otherwise only created when a new profile is created. edit: I do not save passwords and clear cookies and cache on exit, otherwise I suspect that the "Login Data" file would get updated or added to from session to session. But since it does not and I only show it created when a new profile is created, I just let it "sit there" instead of recreating it with each and every browser launch.

    Limited searches on it shows that it is not part of the UA and it's what is called a "field code". More field codes can be found from here -- https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html

    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.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    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".
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    What website is that protocol and mixed-content screencap from?
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Ah, now I follow. Which english modified versions have you tried? Are they all giving you that "butt-ugly" GUI font?
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    There is. It's called "The Toe Bin".
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    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?
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    Can you detail step-by-step your process in "replacing russian repack with the english modified version"? You copying and pasting files between versions?
