    Not possible. Or should I say, "Good luck!" Depending on which countries they operate in, they have to abide by "data retention laws". Most VPNs only substitute one bad actor (your ISP logs) for another (the VPN logs). You also "get what you pay for" and as you say, nothing good comes for free. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/why-you-should-be-skeptical-about-a-vpns-no-logs-claims/

    Not only which browser, but details on "the site" would help us to help you.

    Heck Yeah! We use MS Teams spanning multiple continents here at work. I do not use the desktop app but opt to use the web interface for MS Teams. It's also noticeable beyond any shadow of doubt when listening to music on YouTube or watching sitcoms on Pluto TV or watching live news on Xfinity Stream (but note that I also have "dozens" of other work-related apps all open also). That said, there is no observable lag or latency for MSFN-type web sites or my bank account web sites.

    Agreed. I only use "ungoogled versions". I am confident that the Ungoogled Team will remove the WEI API "if" it ever lands upstream. It is entirely possible that "ungoogled" needs to remove MORE than it already removes. Unsure, but always possible.

    The benchmark *IS* useful. Not sure why the nay-sayers don't "see" it. It doesn't just test the "browser", but how well the CPU is communicating with that browser. The "browser" isn't usually the bottleneck, how well your CPU is handling the browser IS - that's also why "era correct" computers are a valid discussion and I admit that these are not "era correct" CPUs that I run 360Chrome on. My work computer *IS* that much faster than my home computer. How about PassMark scores? I'm open for alternatives, but I "must" have a "number", I do not go by "gut feelings".

    The best Speedometer score I can get at home is "only" 157 (I hit 170 once but all other tests landed at 151 thru 157). Ungoogled v113. i7-6820HQ @ 2.70 GHz. 32 GB RAM. Win10 LTSB 2016 x64. Wired LAN versus wireless does not effect the score, my bad. The laptop running on BATTERY versus plugged in for a recharge DOES effect the score. Best I can get while running on battery is 102 thru 106 - that seems quite substantial to me. My work laptop is "never" unplugged (not good for battery but also "not my battery", lol). Three trial runs on Ungoogled v115 while plugged in for a recharge scored 96.6, 97.4, and 97.87 - will not be "upgrading". Three trial runs on Ungoogled v114 while plugged in for a recharge scored 157, 154, and 154 (average = 155). Reverted to Ungoogled v113 and scored 156, 154, and 155 (average = 155). Plan to upgrade to v114 but skipping v115. Not strictly based on Speedometer scores but also this - https://www.securityweek.com/chrome-114-update-patches-critical-vulnerability/

    These 4 are 404's.

    I had to LOL the way that this hit my bookmarked link for MSFN, looked like somebody was reporting that Chrome v115 runs on XP

    Also, I think those licenses also contain some form of if you attempted to contact the original author and they did not reply within a timely manner, then it is considered "abandoned" and up for grabs, so to speak.

    I'll have to get some scores from home. I thought one of my home laptops scored over 300 also, not positive from memory.
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Same work laptop but now connected via wireless instead of wired LAN. I guess wireless versus wired isn't affecting my score here at work (it definitely does at home).
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    Work laptop. Ungoogled v113. Wired LAN. Win10 Enterprise 21H2 x64. i7-12850HX @ 2.10 GHz. 32 GB RAM.

    Keyword being "open-source". Ungoogled Chromium does not equal Google Chrome. Just like Serpent 52 does not equal Firefox 52. 321 today, woot woot. Still the BEST quantifiable number until proven otherwise. I like this one because it doesn't only score the browser, but it scores the network also. Kind of like running a browser test and a network speed test with one test. (later tests indicate network does not effect score) I'm still on v113. Have not tested newer yet. If they score lower on Speedometer, then I don't upgrade, that's the way I roll.

    This WEI stuff is going to fall flat on its face. And it certainly will NOT be because of Mozilla and their 2.79% market share - https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share Technically, my preferred browser of choice is not "Google Chrome" -

    Agreed! Don't get me wrong, I see "both sides". Heck, my daily driver is single-port throttle body injection which is essentially one step up from 1980's carburetor technology which is one step up from a 1930s downdraft carburetor which is essentially one step up from an 1885 Karl Benz wick carburetor. And no, it doesn't have airbags. But the grandpa sitting on the wooden rocker has to acknowledge the hypocrisy of complaining about that single-process pegging at 100% when multi-process technology remedies that complaint.
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Another way to look at it is this, and here I use the word "you" as an all-encompassing pronoun, not any one or two or three specific people. You are a hypocrite if on one hand you applaud the safety and security that an airbag brings to a modern vehicle but on the other hand shout from the roof top for single-process opposed to multi-process. Vehicle "onboard computers" are extremely complex. Safety circuits on top of safety circuits. Reaction times at split-second precision so that an airbag doesn't explode under false pretense. What kind of world would we live in if the "correct way to advance" was for browsers to remain single-process, televisions to remain Cathode Ray Tube, phones to remain wired to the wall, but then we hand-pick what technologies are allowed to advance as opposed to them kind of ALL advancing ???

    Bingo! The next time the "typical MSFNer" starts shouting about "single-process being superior", that MSFNer should ask himself, "Am I being a grandpa sitting on the porch yelling at the neighbor kid to GET OFF MY LAWN". Because that's how these single-process comments always sound to me - a rickety old wooden rocking chair with a 90-lb frail grandpa barely able to get the thing to rock.

    Maybe that is why I am "pro multi-process" - because my very first career job was running moldflow analysis on a UNIX workstation, I remember fork()'ing. Kind of begs the question - why are Unix programmers viewed as ahead of their times when they multi-process'd DECADES AGO but Windows "browser creators" viewed the opposite "in 2023 and beyond" (an MSFN phraseology) and that they should stick with single-process ???

    I haven't added up the byte count for this one. Those that have been around for a while have heard me complain about my Water Bill web site - ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT SCRIPTS !!! I had to painstakingly block one by one, log out, log back in, rinse and repeat. Many weeks later, I only allow THIRTEEN of those one hundred and sixty eight scripts to do their thing. My water bill site NO LONGER pukes tree-hugger environmentalist crap at me each and every time I log in. Got NOTHING against environmentalist causes, I just want to know how much my water bill is and shouldn't have to parse through "crap" to find it! My water bill web site now basically ONLY shows me how much I owe! I don't need a history chart of my water usage, I don't need to know about the latest environmentalist causes, I just want to pay my water bill. I can no longer "pay" my bill on their web site, I only use it to see how much I owe then I make the payment from my checking account web site. I don't need one hundred and sixty eight scripts, I only "need" THIRTEEN of them (Proxomitron replaces them with a "dummy.js" local file so that the web browser doesn't log the intentional .js block as an "error").

    Googletagmanager is obviously blocked, surprised I haven't been blocking cdnjs.cloudflare. Correction - I am blocking cloudflare but via uMatrix so that's why Proxomitron's log still shows it. I'm showing 1,860,754 bytes of javascript for the web page we are reading right now. 1.86 megabytes. Could be worse, I don't have Facebook or I'd see how many of megabytes we have there.

    "Ay, there's the rub." Look at this very MSFN page. Take your shoes off and borrow the hands and feet of another person, you'll need that many "digits" to count how many scripts exist for even this page!

    If I recall correctly, the only reason we even have multi-process is because of Spectre and Meltdown.

    That isn't HTML. It's not intended for a web browser. Use an RSS Feed reader and you should be fine.
