    I installed Tiny10 23h2 over the weekend. Boot is sooo slowww that I exited the VM twice thinking it locked up! On the third launch, I just let it sit there "forever" and the desktop icons EVENTUALLY appeared. Did not time it, but it took FOREVER! Hard disk space is comparable to my own personal WINREDUCER-EX'd Win10s (LTSB 2016 and 22h2, I do not use 22h2 on a daily basis as I HIGHLY PREFER LTSB 2016). Task Manager reports OVER TWICE AS MANY "processes, threads, and handles" as my WinReducerEx's Win10s. I had to hunt down methods to KILL COMPLETELY the d@mn "security center", "defender", and "firewall" CRAP and even then I only got down to 57 processes as reported by Task Manager. My daily driver Win10 only has 28 processes at startup. Even with only 57 processes, the boot time from launch to when icons appear on the desktop was WAY WAAYYY WWWAAAYYY TOOO LOONNGGG!

    Agreed! I haven't converted IceCat to portable yet. May eventually. Then try in a clean VM. From what I am seeing, IceCat may be the only alternative for the privacy-aware end-user! Floorp basically did the same thing SRWare Iron did - made claims that nobody fact-checked them on! Marketing Department GENIUSES.

    Because I log the scores in a spreadsheet. I'd have to rerun over three hundred different browsers/versions if I started using the newer Speedometer.
  5. NotHereToPlayGames
    Floorp only has 16 21 once you jump through some minor hoops. I suspect these 16 21 require some in-depth hacking like we did with 360Chrome. Problem is, though, ONCE YOU PERFORM THAT FIRST LAUNCH, the telemetry damage is already done! (I would have disabled network entirely but I was inside a VM, so I let it do it's "defaults"). about:networking for IceCat - about:networking for Floorp - about:networking for Official Pale Moon -

    I know you're not a Speedometer fan, but... Floorp scored 114 in my VM (exact score as Ungoogled v122). IceCat only scored 63 in the same VM (Win10 wit 2G RAM).

    Was surprised by this - IceCat has ZERO dns connections on first launch! ZERO! (which is exactly how many I have with my Ungoogled Chromium setup)
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    Of course I had to laugh at this one during install -
  10. NotHereToPlayGames
    I admit that I totally forgot all about it. I've been very VERY turned-off with ANYTHING forked from Mozilla. 239 DNS Connections with Floorp's very first launch! Yes, there are ways to mitigate "some" of them, but not all of them!

    Agreed. I actually used Official Pale Moon for several years as my default. I went from IE6 to Official Firefox to Sleipnir to GreenBrowser to Official Pale Moon to Mypal to New Moon to 360Chrome to Ungoogled Chromium. With many MANY dozens upon DOZENS scattered throughout just for experimentation.

    What I see is a bunch of "death to Google" folks complaining that the reason for the slowness is "Chromium-exclusive" features. This is pure BS, if I may be so bold. There really is no such thing as a "Chromium-exclusive" feature. ECMAScript is not owned or operated by Google! Google did not "write" ECMA-262. They only implemented it and "competed" with Mozilla and the rest of the "world" in HOW they would IMPLEMENT IT. Google did not "write" ECMAScript2015 (ES6). They only implemented it and "competed" with Mozilla and the rest of the "world" in HOW they would IMPLEMENT IT. Heck, as far as that goes, ECMA-262 "first edition" is dated June 1997. Google Chrome didn't even exist until 2008! It's all based on COMPETITION. Hating Google is no different than hating the New York Yankees or the Boston Celtics or the Green Bay Packers - people love to hate "winners" and root for the underdog instead.

    I still use classic Teams via web browser. That overlay can be blocked with a custom style sheet. I've not tried to block in the "download-and-install" version of Teams.

    Also look in Task Manager's SERVICES tab and disable what looks out of place.

    Open regedit and look at your Run and RunOnce entries. Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

    It's been too long, but doesn't a "null modem" cable between server and PC1 and between server and PC2 accomplish this? Of course, I am assuming that all three are in the same "network closet".

    Not only do I "pay attention" to cookies, but also the CONTENTS of those cookies! (which I cannot show "in full" because people that know how to use PROXOMITRON could then LOG IN AS ME on MSFN) By knowing how to modify the CONTENTS of cookies, I do not need separate "browser profiles" to (as an example) be logged into Gmail but NOT be logged into YouTube from within the same browser and same profile.

    Bummer. I don't need the script often but it is nice to have as a just-in-case. I've bumped into the need here and there for videos that are NOT even age-related, rather just UNWARRANTED CENCORSHIP (ie, WOKE industries throwing an age-restriction on what their wokeness sees as "fake news" but the REAL world knows is *REAL* news!). Or just political SATIRE that the REAL world knows is *SATIRE*.

    I personally forbid any of my extensions (or my browser, or my OS, or my text editor, et cetera) from auto-updating. My hunch (without inspecting the script) is that the SaveForm branding is easily disabled directly from within the extension's .js files. Just monitor DNS traffic when that banner pops up then look for that URL within the extension's .js files - I cite as "purely for educational purposes".

    Same here, no use for it. So unless Dave-H is using it, I guess anything "legacy-related" is off-topic as far as the banner being discussed. I've been unable to replicate this banner. But if it *IS* related to savefrom.net script, I cannot seem to find a good source for it, seems it is basically "abandonware" for my region of the globe.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    What is the "current" version of uBO Legacy? The only thing I can find is for FIREFOX. Maybe I assumed it, but I'm fairly certain that Dave-H's banner issue on YouTube is in Chrome-based and has nothing to do with Firefox.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    You have do go all the way back to one version older than 1.32.0. Just how old does one go before you can start calling it "legacy" uBO?

    More here -- https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1fibmm6/why_am_i_getting_this_blurb_ai_summary_ad/?rdt=35830 It seems the issue is the savefrom.net script. Deactivate it and see if you still get the AI Blurb.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Do you use OrangeMonkey or savefrom.net extensions by chance?
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    No clue what that is or how to test for it.
