I would look at SSL Certificate in that example. It doesn't appear to be related to Client Hints.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
It's definitely an issue here. New profile. I'll do some digging in spare time. -
Nope. At least none that you'd want to hear. Waka waka waka. I've only had the IE Mode kick in on one very old XP machine that I no longer have. But this is not my thread, so I have to assume it's also not one of my releases. In *MY* releases, you revert from the kicked-in IE Mode and revert to WebKit from the drop-down when you click "this" icon:

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
To replicate, don't "close" or "exit" the browser. But go to OS's Task Manager or something like System Informer and terminate the .exe from there. -

No. Completely empty browser console. -

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I'm bumping this to bring it back to @roytam1's attention. I'll post additional screencaps shortly and will attempt to isolate "when" this started happening. Still happening in yesterday's release: This is the last known WORKING version (over a year old, I will attempt to isolate WHEN this feature was broken): This version reveals that this feature has been broken with ALL of the 2024 releases: -
While I agree, I have to wholly and completely DISAGREE with this "the sky is falling approach". You present the paradigm that CNAME cloaking is an "everyday occurrence" - I HAVE PERSONALLY NEVER WITNESSED ONE. I have to basically browse with ALL of my "defenses" DISABLED and can only find a .fr example. No .com examples. No .net examples. No .org examples. Before we can proceed further, PLEASE PROVIDE A FEW REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES! Not this "the sky is falling" tactic of THEORETICAL HYPERBOLE. Let's be perfectly honest - IF this were an "issue" as gigantic as your hype and propaganda makes it out to be, then Firefox's marketshare would have SURGED since 2020 or so when BRAVE used this HYPE to boost their marketshare. Which didn't really work. I have NEVER, in REAL-LIFE, met ANYONE that uses BRAVE. Again, I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE. I would love for a LIST of examples. And they can NOT be .fr web sites, I am an English-speaking US citizen that NEVER visits .fr web sites. It has to be a .com for me to take it "seriously". HYPE AND PROPAGANDA. THEORETICAL HYPERBOLE.

While not as foolproof as Chromium+Proxomitron or Firefox+uBO, according to https://github.com/AdguardTeam/cname-trackers, using "AdGuard Tracking Protection filter" or "EasyPrivacy" lists in Chromium+uBO is adequate protection for most users. To be honest, I have never actually ran into a cloaked CNAME with my default setup! I have to INTENTIONALLY let my guard down to find them (enable third-party cookies, allow third-party scripts, disable uMatrix entirely, disable Proxomitron, et cetera).
-
You falsely assume that Firefox+uBO is the "only" way to prevent CNAME cloaking. IT ISN'T! I use PROXOMITRON and despite nobody else here at MSFN being a Proxo User, it can detect and prevent canonical connections. Here's one example. The web site htt ps:// www. mathon .fr has a CNAME Cloaked connection to cdn. shopify .com that my PROXOMITRON blocks. How is this (Chromium+Proxomitron) any different than Firefox *NEEDING* uBO to perform this block? Either way you dice it, the BROWSER itself did not block the canonical connection! The end-user needed to be SMART ENOUGH to ADD something to their browser (which both you and I obviously do).

Agreed, I've never used the "Import Wizard". But what does it do when you click NEXT? Does it then pop up another dialog for an .html file that you EXPORTED from Chrome (for example, I don't recall what IE "exports"). -
I have been experimenting with Firefox v128 (just now noticed it needs updated, but these metrics will be close to identical). A hellashish and resounding NO! (and apologies, I did not intend to turn this into a "browser war" thread - "been there, done that", there is a REASON (several) that I no longer use Firefox!) But not to be misread - I still have an interest else I wouldn't be following this thread. Look at my Serpent RAM usage - 1.24 GB with only TWO tabs open [I've seen this as high as FOUR GIGABYTES] (Gmail and Google Voice [which only works for chat, not for phone calls in Serpent]). Firefox v128 with no tabs open and only ONE extension (uBO) = 172.8 + 310.2 + 20.5 + 37.6 + 33.9 + 88.5 + 36.5 + 28.5 + 28.5 + 28.5 == 785.5 MB Ungoogled v122 with no tabs open and only ONE extension (uBO) = 4.27 + 61.5 + 19.6 + 13.6 + 11.2 + 28.1 + 41.8 + 16.0 == 196.1 MB

I used to think the same thing. GOT FED UP with maintaining two profiles, keeping track of which bank account won't work in what, which can do Gmail but the other not do Google Voice, which can YouTube at 1080 versus 480, which can MS Teams, et cetera. TIME IS TOO PRECIOUS. I WANT *ONE* BROWSER THAT CAN DO *EVERYTHING*.

Very familiar. That's what we use at work for our lab bench computer images. Our factory floor assembly line computers are also all imaged via Acronis. -

As do I! AutoIt is your friend. Me "reinstalling" Windows is like watching a movie. Insert the DVD, press a key to boot from DVD, then everything is completely AUTOMATED. TONNES of mofications... TONNES of special settings... AutoIt moves the mouse around, clicks here, clicks there, NO INTERVENTION once I press that key to boot from DVD. But yeah, it took YEARS of EVOLUTION to PERFECT. And thousands of installs to test, get 10% through to find something needs a dialog set to "stay on top", next install get 15% through to discover that the mouse reference "origin" changed screens, et cetera. Once perfected, it's literally like watching a movie. Sit back, grab a cold beverage, and watch the computer do ALL the work, completely unattended, fully automated. -

I do that also. Just not for my "primary" comptuer. When something afflicts it, I want it back up-and-running in 20 minutes. My primary has all updates slipstreamed, I don't install Windows then spend the next four hours running updates. All of my third-party programs have been converted to sfx archives that only need "silent install" (unpacked). Add some .reg files and whoala. Everything is back to "normal" in 20 minutes. But when a friend or neighbor asks me to fix theirs, I could care less if it takes 20 DAYS and I tell them that on Day One.
