I had to translate. So that other's don't have to jump through that step also, the top bold line reads "YouTube ad blocking is not allowed". I haven't seen that for months. I only YouTube at work. Anywhere from 5 to 15 hours non-stop. I set my own hours, lol. At first, I had to use THREE ad-blockers in addition to my Tampermonkey YouTube scripts to prevent that "overlay popup" (popup in the middle, the rest of the screen overlaid in gray). As of this week, those THREE ad-blockers have all been replaced with only ONE (still have the Tampermonkey scripts) and I've been good so far (5.5 hours at work today with no ads or pauses). Granted, two of the three were so that I could use the same EXACT profile on "fast" machines and on "slow" machines (no single solitary one ad-blocker would work on both!). Initially, NO uBO LISTS WOULD BLOCK THAT OVERLAY POPUP. NONE! I even tried several lists that AstroSkipper swore up and down to. They apparently worked for him and his geolocation but they did not work for me. The ONLY method that worked for me "at first" was ADDING AN EXTENSION to work hand-in-hand with uBO. That extension is found here -- version 5.22.0, I did not, and do not plan to, use the v6.0 and higher versions (the extension went from a 4.16 MB download to a gigantic 63.01 MB download, not interested). Unsure if that is your best solution or not. Again, I could not get uBO "alone" to block that overlay popup. What I am using NOW (as of just a few days ago) is this. I have not yet had any ads on YouTube. But it's also only been a few days. I still have the above extension installed but I have it and uBO now both disabled. The Tampermonkey script I use is this (among many other YouTube userscripts). It's dated 2023-06-22 and I just noticed it's been updated several times. But, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, my 2023-06-22 has been working for me.

Yep, that is what I have ran into. The few extensions that I use(d) for Serpent 52 won't be able to be migrated to Mypal 68. I technically only use it/them (Serpent 52 and/or Mypal 68) for Gmail and Google Voice and nothing else so I kind of have to ask myself "why even bother" with updating my one-year-old St52 to either a newer St52 or to Mypal 68). Other than St52 is the SLOWEST D#MN THING that I have ever witnessed on my old Acer Aspire with in Intel Atom CPU. Though to be fair I have not tried Mypal 68 on it yet. Supermium is a no-go and Thorium works but too new just for Gmail and Google Voice.

This appeared promising, but I cannot get Stylish to customize anything in Mypal. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928428

For Mypal, what is the "em:id" for an extension's "install.rdf"?

I'm finally getting around to giving Mypal 68 a trial run. First, why is the title of this thread called MyPal with a capital P? Second, based on Speedometer 2.1 scores, this scores 2.2 times faster than Serpent 52 - telling me I should have switched a LONG time ago, lol. Third, if I drag the edges of a NON-MAXIMIZED window to fill my entire screen, then close and relaunch, why does Mypal (lowercase p) shift to the right by 3-5 pixels or so? So far, I've only tested in Win10 (to replace my webmail-use-only Serpent 52). Speedometer scores tell me it will be used on my XP Acer Aspire One (which has a slower CPU than even AstroSkipper uses).

Doesn't this require an Intel third-party (ie, non-OS) utility/driver to be installed? If this came pre-installed, don't you only have yourself to blame if you didn't remove/disable? If not pre-installed but you installed this, don't you only have yourself to blame? If you allowed Windows Update to install this, don't you only have yourself to blame?

This is not evidence of a "fingerprint". I only log into MSFN from THREE computers, been that way for my entire "life span" here at MSFN - work Win10, primary home Win10 (was XP more than 90 days ago), and secondary home Win10 (also XP more than 90 days ago). If I were to go by that "security settings devices" list, then I apparently have TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN Win10 machines that I accessed MSFN from in the past 90 days. How can you claim that to be some form of "proof" of fingerprinting? If that list only listed the THREE computers that I use, then that list would mean something.

What is "IPS"?

I need *PROOF*, please. This just sounds way too far-fetched to be real. Fingerprinting is not as EXACT as that. Or banking sites would be doing it!

There is two ways to look at that. 1) You're famous. 2) You're infamous.

This is cool !!! Looks like Supermium now has an editable file where you can set UA &/or UACH - <copy-paste> This file (when extracted) should be placed in the user data root folder (typically %LOCALAPPDATA%\Supermium\User Data): uao.zip </copy-paste>

The OP seems to have "recalled" his bug report, citing it was a "problem on their side". <copy-paste> The issue actually has somehow been solved, seemingly confirming my theory it was a problem on their side. There is now another error though which I have also gotten on other Chromium browsers when I was problem solving. This one does seem like a browser problem to me (although since it happens on other Chromium browsers it's likely a Chromium problem) and not an Amazon problem, I will create a new bug report. I should also add though that changing the name of chrome.exe.sig does in fact show the error on Chrome, so it must be that. I wonder if they just disabled that check for Chromium browsers. </copy-paste>

He's talking about this (below pic) INPUT BOX. Mine will look different than yours because I heavily customize via a userstyle sheet here at MSFN. But "however" you log in, there will be TWO input boxes - one for EMAIL ADDRESS and the other for PASSWORD. It didn't used to be EMAIL ADDRESS for the first of two input boxes, IT USED TO BE USERNAME - and there was no "forum announcement" for this change, it just "happened one day".

There was no announcement, per se. It just kind of happened and we all kind of had do find out for ourselves. There was a one-liner in a miscellanoue topic, forget which one, that our "spam issue has been fixed" and that's basically when login changed from display name to email address. I've seen spam since this "fix", but not nearly as many as we were being hit with.

I'm lost! What the heck are we talking about?

Agreed, that "works". But that is not for me. I want my cache completely cleared for "normal" exits. It is my view that starting from windows and tabs from last time is a form of tab hoarding that I highly discourage. But "to each their own", of course. Which I guess is just a long way of saying, "personal preference", lol.

Nil to none.

Fair enough. But that was also not yet posted at the time of my entry. That arrived on 8/21 where my entry was on 8/18. Until the 8/21 post, everything/everybody/original-OP was all citing XP. I did not try 7 and to the best of my knowledge, you-and-yours only run Vista ExKern (which I have to assume is as close to 7 as one can get without actually being on 7).

That reddit is from THREE YEARS AGO and your issue in Cent started "out of the blue" just this past Wednesday.

Regardless, I cannot replicate in any of the following: 360Chrome 13.5.1030 (v86) Ungoogled Chromium v122 Ungoogled Chromium v118 (same as Cent, if I understand correctly) Serpent 52 (2023-07-31) Mypal 27.9.4 (2018-07-19) Is anyone else in the US or GB/UK getting an "outdated browser" message at Patreon ??? I'm not going through a VPN but I also don't get any "outdated browser" at work (I think the lab benches go through a VPN, but I'm not positive).

Yeah, a "little embarassing", lol. But thanks to all for verifying on your end that everything was working.

Okay, I can confirm that a brand new unpack, create clean profile, and test has Restore Session *working* in 2024-08-15. I'll wait for this weekend's release before adding in my about:config changes, theme, and extensions, one variable at a time, to see if one of those variables is/was the culprit. I "thought" I did this OVER A YEAR AGO when this feature stopped working, but I simply "settled" with keeping the OLDER version (now over a year old). But no, I cannot be 100% sure of that, it was over a year ago, lol.

<del>

Oh, the theme that I use for my Serpent 52 is called Photonic 4.3.1. The only extensions that I use are called Autofill Forms 1.1.0.1, Status-4-Evar Revived 2019.10.11.3, Stylish 2.1.1 (with a userstyle affecting XUL GUI items), and Tabs on Bottom 0.7.3. I have Lull The Tabs 1.4.3 but it never seems to make a bit of difference on the MEMORY LEAKS of Serpent 52 so I keep it disabled and PREFER to resolve memory "pile-up" with a TASK KILL then restart to the RESTORE SESSION screen. Thus my current dilemma and having to stay on a one-year-old version until resolved (which all signs suggest profile at the moment).
