    If I understand the "why", agreed! I'm not trying to reproduce the API, I'm trying to get v114 to "pass" the TEST for this useless function so that I can log in. This is one of those APIs that will keep me on v114 for "as long as possible" -- "privacy rights" really are dwingling FAST with each and every update. This may require a Proxomitron fix.

    Anyone know of a way to polyfill attribution-reporting ? This is the first encounter I have stumbled into where "new" browsers work but that Ungoogled Chromium v114 is "too old". The web site is the USPS's login (do not need an account to test) -- https://reg.usps.com/login?app=HOLDMAIL&appURL=https%3A%2F%2Fholdmail.usps.com%2Fholdmail%2F Just type in a RANDOM username and a RANDOM password and you'll see the "unrecognized feature: attribution-reporting" in the error console.

    YEP! If it weren't for the constant "dog chasing its tail" aspect of web browsers and bank account / bill payment web sites, I'd still be on it. But there is also the "fact" that XP was holding me back, there is SO MUCH MORE that a "computer" can DO once you "let go" of the feeling of being "superior" or "more in the know" just by sticking with XP. Been there, done that. I was "smarter" than ALL of friends and family because I was running XP and they were not. That "superiority complex" keeps MSFN alive. So that "works for me", lol.

    It's not just you. I made the same mistake. Despite being on XP x64, I stuck with 32-bit browsers because the RAM consumption was LOWER! Everybody "here" makes that mistake, they look at RAM consumption and think that "paints the whole picute".

    It's a phenomenon called "Tab Hoarding". There's a whole pscyhology behind it. It has NOTHING to do with "organization". On a psychological level, tab hoarding trains the brain to become LESS EFFICIENT at MEMORIZING things - no need to, the Hoarder just needs to scroll through the tabs to find it, why "memorize"? Psychologically, it's also about the person being very NON-PRODUCTIVE but the HOARD gives the ILLUSION of "fake productivity". I'm not a Tab Hoarder, but I do find the psychology behind it fascinating. Like "complaining" about browser performance but not "admitting" that it's the Tab Hoarding that CAUSES the browser to perform subpar.

    I strongly suspect that you are breaking company policy by running/installing Dark Magic in the first place.
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    LOL This may explain it. If "lower middle-income", they're accepting DONATED computers from better-off countries.

    And that's up from 71% a year ago What would be more interesting to know is "why"?

    Always a totally clean OS. I always do browser tests in a VM "clone" of a totally clean brand new OS install. My brand new OS install is NEVER touched. It is "cloned" and any-and-all tests are done in that CLONE. Then the CLONE is DELETED. Then the NEVER TOUCHED is re-CLONED the next time I need to run the VM. The never-touched VM basically STAYS at "seconds from just after a brand new install" for LIFE.

    Zero third-party codecs in 10. Zero in the XP VM that browsers are tested in. Do use an older version of K-Lite on my host XP.
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    Nope, not in XP and not in 10.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    "Upstream" is the 'official' version by the 'official' developer. That 'official' developer abandoned XP. So the versions you download in this thread are the 'downstream developer' (Roytam1/Feodor2/etc) efforts to restore XP-compatibility to a browser that would not otherwise work in XP.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    me neither it only shifts "trust" from one party to another

    That request needs made at the appropriate thread -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/71610-you-want-to-change-your-username/

    I still have mine around here somewhere! But no, I no longer use it as my Roku wireless devices would not connect to it.

    25-40W is fine for hobbyist 60-40 / 63-37 tin-lead solder. But 60W works better on today's lead-free solder. My tin-lead equipment at work runs at 330 deg-C to 350 deg-C [626 deg-F to 662 deg-F]. My lead-free equipment can be set as high as 850 deg-F [454 deg-C]. But generally runs at only 370 deg-C to 400 deg-C. Some of our boards are "cured" in ovens and those boards take some HEAT to undo that lead-free stuff.

    When I first read that, my thought was "uh oh, another false positive", lol.

    So vanilla is fine? On my end, I've only noticed a CPU max when I leave Thorium open and go into HIBERNATE. When I come out of hibernate, the CPU maxes out. But I can generally just "wait it out" (90 seconds or so!). To be fair though, Serpent 52 does the same thing. Acer Aspire 1 with XP x86. Intel Atom. circa 2008/2009.

    Google only finds DIXEL's comment which starts Page 28. So should Dixel be banned? Or the profile that was clearly created by a BOT?
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm still at 114. But like everything else, "who knows how long that will last".
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Same here! But you and I <insert classifier here that would only upset the XP Crowd> are both on Win10. ie, we have ZERO use for not only Supermium or Thorium, but also, technically, NONE of the other "offerings" here at MSFN. "To each their own."
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    To be "fair" and "equal" - all of this flash drive talk sure sounds like rambling to me. waka waka waka Yeah, when A points that out to B, my thoughts go immediately to "what an A.." So how's that for a "ramble"?

    Agreed! Absolute BS! I have one account that has to be logged into at least THREE times per week all from the same EXACT computer. If I do one of those three from a different computer, I have to call a 1-800 number to have my MFA (multi-factor authentication) reset! If I fail to log in THREE times within a week, I have to call a 1-800 number to reset MFA. Any week that contains the 28th thru 31st day of the month, I have to call a 1-800 number to reset MFA even if I log in three times per DAY each and every day of that week! When asked why that last day of the month always always ALWAYS triggers a "you must call", they tell me it's because "we tried to email you but we have no email on file". And no! They will NEVER be given an email address! PRIVACY RIGHTS are virtually NON-EXISTENT in this day and age.
