    I cannot replicate, fonts are fine here. Can you post a screencap with these blurred fonts? Your profiles indicates XP x86 so this shouldn't be the issue, but if you are in something "newer" than XP, then I suggest opening chrome://flags then search for and disable DirectWrite. Also in the chrome://settings/lab page, disable hardware acceleration and disable DirectWrite.

    Appears to only be a hosting issue. Good luck trying to download just for the sake of a local archive. Tried 7 or 8 times from three different web browsers and the download keeps failing! Ah, didn't see the torrent the first time. Trying that route... Torrent not connecting

    I'm a die-hard Mets fan -- Brooklyn Blue + Giants Orange. We were doing GREAT until the schedule had us play 13 in a row against the Giants and Dodgers. Mets only won two of those 13 But have come back to win 8 of their last 10 We're still in this!

    Nice Find! Interesting thing though, none of my XP 360Chrome portable's are creating that Application Data\Microsoft\Protect file (five different computers). When I navigate to that folder, I only have two files, one called Preferred with no file extension and one 32-character (plus 4 dashes for a total of 36 in files name) hexadecimal-named file with no file extension. Both have a file-properties created/modified/accessed date coinciding with the date that the OS was installed (LOOONG before I ever started using 360Chrome). This is true on both my 32bit XP and on my 64bit XP. So somehow, thankfully, I have this OS "feature" DISABLED. My XP's are pretty heavily nLite'd and my base XP 32bit only has 16 processes in Task Manager upon startup. My XP VM's from that same base XP boot in 17 seconds - which could actually probably be improved. Several "services" aren't simply just disabled, they aren't even installed in the first place. My Win7 360Chrome portable's are creating that Microsoft\Protect file. But my profile migration is only in one direction -- created on XP then migrated to 7 (and 10 but did not look for the Microsoft\Protect file in 10). Interesting indeed...

    I delete worker folder on every exit. I delete cookies on every exit. I delete extension log files on every exit. That .ini file was not a "suggestion" for use (it's a direct-copy of the Russian Repack DEFAULT .ini), it was an attempt at resolving a cookie issue for a user that doesn't delete cookies on every exit. I personally strongly suggest a cleared cache, no saved cookies, no saved anything - axe EVERYTHING when the browser exits. But not all users want to set their browser up that way -- "to each their own". For those that use my rebuild, they know this, I delete EVERYTHING on every exit - it has been suggested by a few that I not do this for the distributed rebuild. But that's not the way I roll, I clear cache/cookies at exit, always have, always will. I will post better notes when uploading any new rebuilds that my builds DELETE COOKIES BY DEFAULT - because as mentioned, some users don't like that setup -- "to each their own".

    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".
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    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).
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    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.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    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!
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    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...
