    Fair enough. Chromium is not exclusively coded by Google employees. But yes, "most" developers are Google employees. I cannot find if that is 51% of developers work for Google. Or if it is 99% of developers work for Google. I admit that I've always ASSUMED it to be closer to the 51% side of the spectrum. But I have no data to back up that assumption. Nor any data to suggest 99%.

    Technically not true. What most people don't realize is that Chrome (ie, "Google") is not "first". Chrome is based from Chromium, so these UI changes were implemented by CHROMIUM (open-source project NOT affiliated wit Google), then Google just pushed them to the public. More often than not, the CHROMIUM developers get enough "feedback" and then REVERT these types of changes by adding flags that Chrome (ie, "Google") does not add. There would be no Chrome if Chromium did not exist first. But yeah, "semantics".

    Is there at least a "suspend network activity" setting, like uBO (and forks of uBO)?

    This is the part that caught my eye - "More WebUI stuff is reverted to its pre-Chrome 2023 appearance." I have not tested the "Th24/M128" version yet. I have been "stuck" at Chromium v122 out of immense dislike over the changes upstream made with the UI that most forkers just followed the Lead Lemming.

    Total YUCK on the newest Sleipnir! Been away from it for several years. Wow! Total YUCK.
  6. NotHereToPlayGames
    GreenBrowser, Sleipnir, and SlimBrowser used to all be very good to me. I actually still use GreenBrowser, but more for debug purposes when tracking down web site issues spanning different browser engines.

    Depends on much experience you have with nLite. Once you get a validated process working, it will become hours instead of days. The first "several" trial-and-error iterations will be days, agreed. That's why you always always always test in a VM first.
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    Generally speaking, NO, something removed by nLite requires re-doing the nLite'd media and reinstalling. It's not impossible to restore. But you'll spend 4 days trying to figure out "how" when it only takes 3 to 5 hours to archive everything, re-do the nLite'd media, and reinstall. As a gigantic fan of nLite'd, vLite'd, NTLite'd, and WinReducerEX'd installations, Rule #1 is this - always test in a VM.

    I never liked having the flags, but removing them now may be pointless, we all already know where the frequent visitors are from. There are some users here that don't have flags even when the flag "feature" is working. I think it's just because they're from a country not included in the "list of flags".

    You may find that this will not "play well" with any web site that has dropdown-menu navigation sections.
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Now you're getting the hang of it! I toggle CSS via a Proxomitron "menu" added to every website. Toggling CSS was also a "button" I added to my GreenBrowser back when GreenBrowser was my default. If you want to experiment with other methods, and as I was tracking down the "real source" for my versions of animation-killers, I noticed that ebay.de is specifically cited in this Greasy Fork script (but as an EXCLUDE which would need REMOVED).
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    There are animations here at MSFN? Never seen any, that I recall. Aside from the .png emoji's, which my Proxomitron config allows to animate for three cycles (at least, that's my default for all gif's, would have to look at the config or download one of the emoji .png's to research further).
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    Nope! It's a very VERY common set of CSS code in the Proxomitron World. Any Proxomitron-user would be able to provide that animation-killer code, been a "staple" for DECADES. My Proxomitron version also disables "transforms" and "transitions" in addition to "animations". I know that I've seen "versions" of that code over at Greasy Fork also.

    I actually PREFER the posts HERE, to be honest. Mainly because of "visitation frequency" and a fast-and-easy "activity" versus "unread" view of everything on one page.
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    I am now a github member as well. Though I have "notification" turned off completely and only "follow" various github projects.

    I guess I have to admit total ignorance when it comes to "games". What is a "game"? Any 20yr computer should be able to play solitaire, sudoku, wordle, minesweeper, tetris, pac-man, frogger, donkey kong, dig dug, centipede, space invaders - you old folks remember 'em all! But come on! The death of the PC as far as just a core OS probably died the day "they" decided that "game consoles" and "desktop pcs" should both be able to splatter blood in hi-def realism when the gun-toting gangsta shoots down the pimp or ho on the sidewalk. Yeah, that shows my age too, I don't technically know if some of these shoot-'em-up blood-splatter-everywhere "games" are shooting at pimps and hos or not. I'm not even sure if it's hos or hoes. I understood the days of Pac-Man and Frogger. I stopped "understanding" in the days of Mario Brothers and Sonic. Hi-def realism of a bullet shattering bone or an axe beheading a monster, nope, zero understanding whatsoever. "To each their own", of course. I remember when Nintendo came out, when Playstation came out, when Sega came out, when XBox came out. And while not my scene, I applauded their popularity! For one, I remember the days when COMPUTER PERFORMANCE had to COMPETE with these GAMING CONSOLES. So computer performance BENEFITED big time! I don't know what happened that COMPUTERS and GAMING CONSOLES no longer tend to COMPETE but rather the "gamer" resorts to a COMPUTER to play his/her games instead of a GAMING CONSOLE.

    Though perhaps that is me showing my age, lol. Because this "misspelling" isn't "new", it's been around for over TWENTY YEARS.

    Good point. I gue$$ I ju$t get a little "hyper$en$itive" when there are a "hundred" folk$ here at M$FN that will alway$ use $'s instead of S's for Microsoft. It'$ a PET PEEVE of mine.

  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    To each their own. That's why Microsoft has a $3.2 trillion market cap and Apple has a $3.4 trillion market cap. Because people LOVE to bla$t B$ by calling Microsoft Micro$oft, yet they keep buying and buying and buying and upgrading and upgrading and upgrading. Please do not let me see you use a derogatory $ in Microsoft's name if you are one of the folks that upgrade all because of "EOL". You'd have no $treet ¢red at that point.

    Did you try "none"? I didn't try either, to be honest. But I'm not witnessing the CPU being pegged, only offering possible solution being *animations* because there are SEVERAL animation codes on ebay.de. 118 or so of them! Or roughly half that if you assume that all are defined separately for "moz" versus "webkit". And here, *PROOF* that at least two of their .css resources have been MODIFIED within the last two days. I didn't see any "level 4" pseudo-class "nots", but I stopped looking at 50 of 426 of them.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    EOL is just a marketing tactic to SCARE you into thinking you need NEW. EOS (end of story)
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    Here at work, I'm not concerned in the slightest. If I had problems at home, that would be different story. The AdGuard URL Tracking Protection filters work perfectly fine at home.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    I believe you! But "we" haven't shown what has changed! I have more tools at my disposal from home. Do you know how to view the Last-Modified Header of incoming .css or .js? It's pretty easy to PROVE that something has changed. Just saying that it worked weeks ago but does not work today isn't really proof of anything. "Weeks ago" is a LONG time. NM28 is updated WEEKLY. Mypal and Thorium were also both likely updated since the timestamp of the bookmarked link. uBO lists were likely updated. Antivirus was likely updated. You name it... There are a TON of variables to rule out before (blindly) claiming eBay.de "did something on their end".
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    If we are spewing out "speculations" without any SOURCE CODE to back up the speculations, then I myself would suspect some sort of "level 3" versus "level 4" pseudo-class long before suspecting any type of geolocation-based source code differences. ie, something like this: (ugh, will return to post image, need to delete profile pics to make room for paste)
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    I kind of doubt it, to be honest. I would need to see web page SOURCE CODE differences between what you get versus what I get before advancing "conspiracy theories".
