    For testing not only real or faked header Client Hints, but also for testing real or faked javascript Client Hints: https://user-agent-client-hints.glitch.me/ Proving more and more that PROXOMITRON was and remains "way ahead of its time".

    Working again in Ungoogled Chromium v94 and v114. They are clearly "experimenting" with their code almost DAILY. I guess I need to give them a MONTH or so for the dust to settle.

    I have no use for a "patch". I can fake Client Hints via PROXOMITRON - the Swiss Army Knife of the internet that seems to be "over the head" and "too complicated" for most MSFN members.

    ie, ME, lol Technically, my ISP might offer it, but my modem and router do not. I don't see that as a "loss".

    Was that a "look at me, I'm always right" reply?

    This one is a weird one to track down. My credit card web site no longer works in Ungoogled Chromium v94 all the way through v121. But DOES work in Ungoogled Chromium v122. But does NOT work in latest-and-greatest newest-there-is Ungoogled Chromium v126 - does not matter if Client Hints is enabled or disabled.

    So does the very very old version of Comodo Firewall that I've suggested. So much so, to me at least, that I am SHOCKED if not ALL firewalls behave in this manner (as your post implies this behavior seems to be "unique" to your referenced W 10 F C P XP).

    I just bumped into this over the weekend. Finding the "perfect-for-me" browser has become a colossal nuisance in 2024! I used one browser (and one only!) for all of 2022 and 2023 - I'm on my fourth already this year! My credit card now only works with Chrome 122. I'm sure it works with higher, I only incremented upward from Chrome 94, one my one, until it finally started working - which was Chrome 122. Only discovered just yesterday and still digging. Ungoogled Chromium 126 returns the ability to remove client hints (read here), I will have to try this evening.

    Ah, wait. It's the hosting site! Downloaded a SECOND TIME and that gave me CIS.

    Um, when I extract that file, I'm getting WINAMP files dated 11/20/2013.

    I should have searched for the suggested version, lol. Thanks for the suggestion, btw. From memory, I thought you suggested 1.45.x. I've been running 1.45.2 and so far I am impressed with it over 1.26.2. 1.45.0 had this (link) commit and it seems to have solved several "time delay" issues I have had with uBO (where an ad is blocked but it "flashes" for a split second before being blocked). Admittedly, my preference towards 1.26.2 is a ghost from my XP days. Version 1.26.2 was (if I recall), the last version without anti-aliased BS, I'd have to verify, just that the GUI looked HORRIBLE in XP for anything "newer". That's no longer the case now that I am on Win10 and I've been quite pleased with 1.45.2. The strange irony is the configuration that I have stumbled upon that works for ALL of my computers. The office computer is a screaming fast top-of-the-line (at least it was 1.5 years ago) with 64 GB RAM. My primary computer here at home is an i7-4770 with 16 GB RAM. My secondary computer (but primary for paying bills) is an Intel Core 2 Quad with 4 GB RAM. I have miscellaneous i3's and i5's. It's always been a bit "tricky" to get ONE configuration to work for ALL. One adblocker would not work across this wide range of computers. One size really does not fit all. The combination that WORKS FOR ALL is actually something "they" always tell you "don't do". Running uBO v1.45.2 SIMULTANEOUSLY ALONGSIDE AdNauseum v3.21.4, both with identical lists (9 lists), and running that pair SIMULTANEOUSLY ALONGSIDE "AdBlock - best ad blocker" v5.22.0 (only 1 list) is working FLAWLESSLY. Across the entire wide range of computers in my arsenal. It's actually the first EVER config/combo to not split-second-flash ads on my Intel Core 2 Quad on YouTube.

    No luck so far

    File Hippo has this, but it doesn't specifically say "Premium" -- https://filehippo.com/download_comodo/10.1.0.6476/

    I may have it. I'll report back this evening, will take some time to dig through a stack of burnt DVDs.

    Not to sound like a broken record or to beat a dead horse, but only if you don't tweak and optimize!
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Only if you don't tweak and optimize! Again, only if you don't tweak and optimize! Which, YES, is a lost art! And even web sites that used to specialize in that ART are long gone. I kind of don't believe for a second that you run XP with "defaults", you yourself tweaked and optimized. I would like to think that NOBODY HERE AT MSFN runs any OS at "defaults".
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    In my opinion, even XP is a crappy version of Windows! The only reason it isn't is if you know how to tweak it, optimize it, axe the extras, et cetera. Which is the same exact thing to be said of ANY version of Windows! ie, you're not really running XP, your running XP plus Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP 7.5.105.217, plus who knows what else, that's not "technically" XP.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    Nope, not in the least. Even MSFN members ADMIT that they don't use their "ancient" XP computers exclusively. Ditch your tablet, ditch your phone, ditch anything and everything othat than your "beloved" ancient XP then we (any one or all here at MSFN) shall have this conversation again.

    In Comodo 2.4.18.184, I can break my rules down not only by app, but by the app that launched the app. For example, I can launch my web browser from the start menu and it would have one set of rules. Launch the same exact web browser from a desktop shortcut and it would have an entirely different set of rules. Launch the same exact web browser from File Manager and it would have a third entirely different set of rules. Launch the same exact web browser from Email Program #1 and it would have a fourth set of rules. Launch the same exact browser from Email Program #2 and it would have a fifth set of rules. And, most importantly, if I am INSTALLING a program and that INSTALLER launches the same exact web browser, all traffic is disabled wholly and completely because the launch sequence did not fit one of the five sets of rules.

    In my opinion, BETTER than anything offered in this thread! I have trial-ran Windows 10 Firewall Control and no, it did not change my opinion of Comodo Firewall 2.4.18.184. Nope. That ThinkPad T42 is a real POS. It's used solely out in the garage to tune turbos. I do not have the "patience" to do anything else with it. It has all of my automotive engine control module software on it otherwise I would have smashed it with a hammer a decade ago. What takes 30 seconds to do with a 15yr old computer takes 3 minutes on that 20yr old POS. And that's with me tweaking and optimizing every far-fetched corner of XP. To each their own, of course, but I personally do not advise anybody "in their right mind" to use a 20yr old computer.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Yes. A 20yr old IBM ThinkPad T42. But it's not an everyday XP. It's used for tuning aftermarket turbo project cars.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    Back when I used software-firewall versus hardware-firewall, Comodo was my favorite by far. But I intentionally stopped upgrading beyond Comodo Personal Firewall 2.4.18.184. Strictly speaking of my "ancient" XP machines.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed. I do applaud the discussion of alternatives. One size will never fit all. Currently, my Intel Atom (single core) and my Intel Core 2 Quad (4 cores, "unthreaded") computers perform best with uBO v1.26.2 for everything that I have tried on them. With identical lists however, my Core i7 (4 cores, 8 threads) would leak YouTube ads! My Core i7 computers are currently using AdNauseam v3.21.4 (forked from uBO) and have yet to ever leak an ad on YouTube. Despite AdNauseam being my best performer on my Core i7 (not even so much as a split-second visual "flash" of the ad being blocked!), when I run the same exact extension with the same exact lists on my Core 2 Quad, it will not block any YouTube ads! Both running Win10 Ungoogled Chromium v94. But uBO will show a split-second visual "flash" of the ad being blocked. One size will never fit all.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed, same here. There is no "need" in Win 10.
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    Please advise if you did this in XP or 10. Thanks.
