Not sure of what else to try. I've personally never carried a cookie from one computer to another. But ALL of my extension settings do carry from one computer to another. I actually create my "profile" on my XP x64 primary computer and that "profile" is distributed across my network to all of my computers. And those range from XP x86, XP x64, Win7 x86, Win10 x86, and Win10 x64. I use the same exact profile on each and every one of those OS's. What version of NoScript are you using because my NoScript settings carry from one computer to the next. I don't use a "large" number of extensions, but they all have settings created on one computer and they carry over to other computers. My list of extensions -

I personally disagree and see no "legal" reason to ever need anything like Tor. If you need THAT level of "anonymity", then I firmly believe that you are breaking a law somewhere, accessing "illegal" sites, browsing the "dark web". I also have family that work for various departments within Law Enforcement and have friends that work for the FBI. If you are doing something so "shady" that you only do it on some "Tor network", then rest assure, you WILL be found! Apologies for that "rant"... Agreed! I kind of wondered if Tobin had an account here, I thought I saw posts by him in the past but I stopped using Mozilla-based and went Chromium-based at the early offset of all this "chaos" so stopped following as closely as I used to. I think you can still read content here when you are banned, not positive though. But you definitely cannot log in and do any posts.

Not "as" open. But there are always "loopholes". That screencap says to PM to create an account - don't you have to have an account in order to PM?

Try this for the loader .ini file and see if that helps --

I personally disable that animation completely. I combine the non-animated "refresh" button and non-animated "stop" button into ONE icon where it toggles between the two depending on if the page is fully loaded (the "refresh" is displayed) or in-process of loading (the "stop" is displayed). Zero animation, just toggles back and forth between two buttons.

I disable the touchpad on all four of my laptops, they always get in the way of typing and I prefer an actual mouse.

Not sure if this is the case for Win7, but I do know that "uptime" in Win10 is easily cheated. In Win10, you can do a full reboot to "reset" the uptime timer, go into Sleep/Standby/Hibernate two minutes later, wake the computer up a YEAR from now, and that uptime will show that YEAR.

I also own a Thinkpad T43 running XP x86 SP3 with similar updates! -- as previously introduced in this post - https://msfn.org/board/topic/182536-how-many-computers-do-you-own/?do=findComment&comment=1198578 Though I personally never use it for YouTube. I really think you are trying to ask too much out of that T43. People post issues with YouTube "every day" here at MSFN and on computers no where near the 16 Year Old mark for our T43. Although... Having said that... Have you tried this extension -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enhancer-for-youtube/ponfpcnoihfmfllpaingbgckeeldkhle ? Then go to its settings and set Playback quality to something ridiculously low, like 240p or so, and see where that gets you? There is also a setting to force standard frame rate formats and one to force MP4/AVC instead of WebM/VP9, I'd suggest experimenting with those two settings also. I personally also use that extension to block ads, hide comments, and hide chat. I use a different extension to axe annotations -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/36578/ I'm not too inclined to even TRY to run YouTube on my T43 - but will go ahead and try it in order to assist you but I'll see how far you get on your own first.

What "flavor" of XP Pro x86 are you using? SP2? SP3? POSReady? What's your CPU and how much RAM?

Unfreakin' Real! That 3D webgl site required a Google Login. I figured what the heck out of curiosity and logged in, against my general rule of thumb. THEY'VE ALREADY SPAMMED MY EMAIL. At least it's my "junk account".

The only other one I tried was the 3D floor plan layout link - it crashed my v12 360Chrome with webgl disabled, not enough interest to try it with webgl enabled (I have my own 3D software that doesn't rely on a web browser).

25 real world applications -- the very FIRST one listed is Google Maps' terrain view - funny, because Google Maps' terrain view works for me WITHOUT webgl.

I also had to clear my cache. Once I was in Mobile Mode, the Desktop Mode link would take me to the Mobile Mode.

How so very true! One of my credit cards tries to load scripts from SIX domains, only TWO of which belong to the credit card. I've often wondered why anybody would just blindly trust all SIX to load or how many people even actually notice it in the first place.

Agreed! I don't use "ad blocking" extensions (most send user data to the creator of the extension, I do not condone such behavior!) Using NoScript + uMatrix is really all I've ever needed to make my browsing experience free of debri. I don't even allow "all" JS on my own banking and credit card sites and only shop Amazon with a THIRD of the JS they try to execute. JS is not "all-or-none", you can be selective. I actually used to go so far as use a web proxy called Proxomitron where I could rewrite the JS on-the-fly, before the browser even receives it.

Interesting. I prefer uMatrix + NoScript and not a fan of Adblock Latitude.

Travelocity is working fine for me in v12. But I only tested in my build 1247 and you did cite Humming Owl's build 1592.

Thanks. I do find it extremely ironic that my FIRST visit to the Mobile Mode crashed my web browser. I had the console open and was comparing network traffic between Mobile and Desktop - bam, the Mobile Mode crashed my browser. But I have been unable to duplicate the crash and the Mobile Mode definitely transfers smaller amounts of data - not sure if I'll default to it over the Desktop Mode as of yet though. Definitely awesome that now I can bookmark which mode I want to use for the session. Though I also observed that once a YouTube cookie was set, my Desktop Mode bookmark opened in Mobile Mode - but that could be a result from the Mobile Mode that crashed during my first visit. Thanks again for the links!

Yes. You have noticed that nobody replied because nobody can reply. At bare minimum, I need to know what browser you are using - the screencap doesn't tell me that. Second, though maybe of less importance, what OS are you running that browser from - the screencap doesn't tell me that. Third, your link is taking me directly to a Google Login - can you provide a link that does not require me to log into Google?

The Basemark Web 3.0 benchmark is really the only "test" I've ever used webgl on. I have never seen webgl used by "real world" web sites (news, banking, music, videos, research, how-to guides, online shopping, you name it), it's only ever used by "here's what webgl can do" sites. Maybe it's used by games but games are for teenagers I have a copy of MAME lying around and a Commodore 64 emulator for "games", never really use them, but they're there if I ever really get bored from "real world" web sites Plus it always pegs the CPU at 90+ percent - why would I want to "enable" a website to peg my CPU? At least that's my POV...

I have no plans on releaseing a v13 build 2250 - I do not subscribe to the "newer is better" paradigm. Sorry.

Skin files cannot be copied between my v13 build 2206 and Humming Owl's v13 build 2250 - I keep the original file structure and Humming Owl merges a few of the skin files into one. Humming Owl's v13 build 2250 error page should be able to be copied over to my v13 build 2206 - I have not verified but I see no reason this should not work. Error pages are "useless", in my opinion, I'm okay with the error code provided in the URL when an error is encountered, that's all I ever need, have never been a fan of browsers having an "oops", "puke face", or "Aw, Snap!" page. I just don't see the benefit/gain of turning an "error" into a "cartoon". I don't get an error for the "back arrow" example (only tested in v12 build 1247).

Bingo! Which tells you just how asinine "those people" are!

Positive I view DEP against this logic -- if DEP worked then there would be no "Geek Squad" at the local Best Buy, there would be no computer-repair at the local Staples, there would be no Malwarebytes, there would be no Emsisoft, there would be no Spybot Search and Destroy, et cetera. Or at least a tiny fraction of the "need" for such things. Things like DEP (enabled by default) and User Account Control (enabled by default) only create a User Base that just clicks "Accept" every time a so-called "Warning Box" pops up because the User Base doesn't know how to look out for themselves, they need their computer to protect themself from themself. User Account Control was by far the worst "idea" ever concocted. How many people do you know that see that so often that they don't even read it? They just click "Accept" and move on. Anti-virus is the same way, constant nag screens and a User Base that just clicks "Accept" because they get tired of all of the false positives. Which, I'll submit, is not the average MSFN Member, especially not the XP Crowd! Think about it this way, I'm one of the geekiest guys on this street, when SEVERAL neighbors need help "fixing" their computer, I'm the one they call. No biggie, it's easy and it's a hobby. But it never ceases to amaze me how often I have to "fix" OTHER PEOPLE'S computers and rid them of viruses WHEN THEY WERE RUNNING AN ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM that should have "protected them"! The only REAL protection is to know how to protect yourself and stop relying on OS "features" to do that 'for you'. But I digress...

Kinda no surprise there. We have regional dealers that are caught holding back fixes like that more often than you might think. There are 300-some "robots" at the factory and 260-some all run XP (I would be fired if I posted a picture, these robots build electrical parts for BMW, Daimler, and Ford and warranty-only parts for a GM model no longer used in current production vehicles). The funny part is the teenage kids working the factory floor right out of high school, "We could build parts faster if that robot was upgraded to Windows 10." You reply, "XP is actually fastest for this application, it's an embedded OS on a socket-479 90nm cpu running at 1.8 GHz with a 400 MHz bus." Their eyes glaze over like they just missed the bus and have to walk to school.
