    Agreed. I do the same on my home computers. I call them "Hobby Hacks". I'm not smart enough to be a "hacker", but I've always found ways to "quasi-hack" and get things to work. edit - I spent all weekend "hacking" an abandonware piece of software that had the arrow key hotkeys defined as "Left, Right, up, Down". That lowercase U bugged the sh&t out of me! Took all weekend, but I found and fixed!

    ps - I'm not saying to "publicly" inform the creator of the wrapper. I do know how some folks fear such public disclosures as some sort of "I can't say this publicly because I don't want Google to know, I don't want Google using this knowledge and blocking us from doing this." My view on that, Google already knows! It's only our own ego that thinks we are smarter then them!

    Very cool indeed !!! I still can't help but see some sort of over-competitive don't-steal-credit "shenanigans" going on behind the scene. Just seems to me that if we are going to use Supermium's wrapper, then why selfishly not inform the creator of that wrapper just how it is being used for other projects. Maybe I'm over-thinking it, wouldn't be the first time, just still all sounds "selfish". But what do I know?

    A very worthwhile read. I just have to wonder just how many folks will actually read it (we live in a Twitter/X/Whatever society with an attention span of only ONE sentence at a time) [Even members of MSFN will "complain" if a reply is more than three sentences]! I think I counted 28 paragraphs (give or take). And to me, you have to get all the way to paragraph 19 (67.9% into what I suspect most will classify as "TL;DR"). The Cliff Note version - 1) Google claims the goal is to reduce fingerprinting for the browser itself (Chrome, in this case) 2) MARKETERS are against the goal - MARKETING AGENCIES want fingerprinting to INCREASE (societal norm, you can never take away free cheese after your constituants are accustomed to receiving free cheese) 3) Google isn't just a "browser", they are ALSO a MARKETING AGENCY! (Google owns DoubleClick) 4) Google is clerverly playing both sides at the same time! DECREASING overall fingerprinting but at the same time allowing a BROWSER-SESSION that visits YouTube, Gmail, Fitbit, Waze, DoubleClick in that same session has the "data" from each other!

    Though my previous post being said, I personally do not trust these either. But I do want them to evolve into something that I do trust.

    Seems a bit selfish. You either want browser alternatives to succeed or you want them to fail. I don't think there really is any "middle ground". Either we are "friends" of win32ss (extended kernel success) or we are "foes" of win32ss (almost a hidden agenda of wanting Supermium to fail).

    NOPE, MY KEYBOARD HAS A CAPS LOCK KEY, IT WAS USED HERE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES. "Fingerprinting" and "content delivery based on device and network" are two different things. Client Hints have more to do with "content based on device", I think most refer to it as "active content", not sure of exact terminology. I AM NOT A FAN OF "ACTIVE CONTENT". Servers should serve XP the same EXACT code that they serve 7 or 10 or 11 or 123456789. If that code "crashes" XP, so be it, just serve everybody the same EXACT code.

    I have used Proxomitron to *ADD* client hints to 360Chrome. Sure, agreed, Proxomitron is "not for everyone". But if one has to live in a world paranoid of things like client hints, then one must learn the tools of the trade. Personally, me myself, to each their own, yaddy yaddy yaddy, I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT CLIENT HINTS. They're not the "privacy doomsday" that this thread wants to make them out to be. Said it a thousand times, what's ONE MORE TIME, IF YOU ARE "THAT" PARANOID OF ONLINE FINGERPRINTS, THEN GET OFF OF YOUR COMPUTER AND PHONE AND LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH NO ELECTRICITY OR RUNNING WATER!

    That's not how I use the Restore Session feature. I monitor RAM. When Serpent RAM exceeds 1 GB for only two tabs, I task-kill Serpent with the two tabs still open. Then I relaunch Serpent. What is supposed to happen is that a the Restore Session page is opened with a table containing descriptions of those two tabs and a RESTORE restores the two tabs, still logged in and everything. THIS DOES NOT *ALWAYS* WORK IN "NEWER" VERSIONS OF SERPENT! Sometimes no Restore Session page at all, sometimes the Restore Session page but no table containing tab descriptions, et cetera.

    Sending "empty strings" is the WORST IDEA EVER !!! DO NOT send "empty strings" !!! If the "intent" is to reduce your fingerprint, then why in Hades would you STAND OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB via an "empty string" ??? We've been over this a "thousand" times, you must use something like PROXOMITRON to fake Client Hints with the string of your choosing, sending an empty string is "dumb". You must "blend in with the crowd" (ie, fake Client Hint strings), *not* "stand out like a sore thumb" (ie, an "empty string").

    I use the Restore Session at least twice a week (Serpent RAM leaks)! It really is "hit or miss" in newer versions of Serpent 52. Whereas it *ALWAYS* works in 2023-07-31. There's also really *nothing* in newer versions that I technically need (it is used as an email/text-message reader 24/7/365 but it is not used to browser the internet for news, videos, streaming, etc). I try the latest-and-greatest every three weeks, pretty much like clockwork, *hoping* it is going to be fixed, but alas, IT NEVER IS. It really is "hit or miss" on my hardware, no clue "why" exactly.
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    I have not combed through the changelogs of Serpent, Basilisk, Pale Moon, New Moon, etc to see when/if layout.css.nesting.enabled flag is added/present. As far as my daily-use Serpent v52.9.0 (2023-07-31), I can report that the flag is not present. For my useage, there are other things "broken" if I upgrade to newer (ie, Restore Session feature is very-much-so "hit or miss" in newer) so I intentionally use 2023-07-31.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed. My intended point was more along the lines that these "experimental" flags effect both css and js.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    CSS That's because the web site in question is using CSS NESTING (not all "failures" are javascript). All of the browsers you listed can not use CSS Nesting. Supermium/Chromium 122 CAN USE CSS Nesting. The CSS being IGNORED/DROPPED by St55-Ch87 is this (note the indented &'s, this is "nesting", a css selector "inside" another css selector): [in this case, it's selector #5 (img) inside selector #4 (a) inside selector #3 (li) inside selector #2 (...sharing-options...) inside selector #1 (...social-share...)] CSS Nesting can not be rendered in anything below Chrome 120 and can not be rendered in anything below Firefox 117.

    D.Draker - GREAT JOB at creating one of the BIGGEST "unproveable" (both "sides" will always see it "their way" no matter what the "other side" has 'proven' or 'disproven') CONSPIRACIES to ever hit MSFN! Learn how to read GitHub "commits".
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Go for it. You don't think they already know how "BS" this thread has become?
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    Please learn how to read GitHub "commits".

    I certainly hope so! So that we can nail this d#mn coffin, faking a user agent or client hint is WAY different than "claiming" to be several versions newer on an older engine. THE SUPERMIUM ENGINE IS WHAT IT IS CLAIMING TO BE !!! Plain and simple. TO H#LL WITH TWITCH! Twitch by itself proves NOTHING. It only proves bad coding at TWITCH! IT WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY IF WE HAD A HUNDRED OR A THOUSAND WEB SITES THAT DO NOT WORK IN SUPERMIUM! Let's face it, PERSONAL BIAS is leading this discussion. Not logic and reasoning.
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    Bingo!
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    This is not true! Something in Supermium is indeed breaking Twitch. But "do" the same exact thing (once we find out the "exacts") in OFFICIAL CHROME v132 and Twitch *WILL* break also! If Supermium was "not even v126", a hundred or even a thousand web sites would be broken, NOT ONLY TWITCH.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Disproving CONSPIRACIES is a DEATH TRAP. I'm done with the "conspiracy" of Supermium not being the engine it claims to be. H#LL, we're still trying to prove who killed JFK or whether we really landed on the moon or not. Some CONSPIRACIES will NEVER be proven - this one is NOT WORTH ANY MORE OF MY TIME. You guys are, of course, obligated/entitled to define how your time is allocated.

    re: --test-type chrome flag https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-launcher/issues/24 https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-launcher/blob/main/docs/chrome-flags-for-tools.md I do not get the Chromecast UDP in *any* of my browsers! But I can confirm that I just *disabled* the --test-type flag but I still do *NOT* get the Chromecast UDP! Would require additional testing which time alludes me at the moment. Only tested in Official Ungoogled as of this morning. No time to test further.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Highly HIGHLY improbable. We either need to NAIL THIS COFFIN SHUT or we need to PROVE this CONSPIRACY once and for all. Let's all of us take a step back and come up with some sort of D#MN PROOF. Twitch PROVES NOTHING. Let's start thinking outside the box that we have all buried ourself in. I've already "seen enough" to see THIS IS MISINFORMATION !!! But the "west side story gang" is always always always going to stick together and "go down with the ship".
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agree *AND* Disagree. We still don't really know the EXACT reason that Twitch is broken. NO ONE is denying that Twitch is broken. NO ONE is trying to find another example web site! It's just "dogpile on the rabbit". If it is CSS or FONT related, then Supermium's HIGHLY APPLAUDED endeavor at attempting DirectWrite broke a CSS coding at Twitch. I don't have Twitch, I will not be signing up for Twitch. BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE MORE EXAMPLE WEB SITES instead of just more "dogpile on the rabbit". Has anyone tried Twitch in the only other GDI/DirectWrite browser that at least I am aware of - ie, this one = https://github.com/GTANAdam/GDIChromium ? But it's also showing its age big time, it's still at v103 and appears to be an abandoned project.
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    You're not listening. Twitch this, Twitch that. Is Twitch seriously the *ONLY* web site out of roughly 1.1 BILLION of them that isn't working in Supermium? If so, that's about 438,692,547 times better than Pale Moon, Basilisk, and Serpent. I myself have never heard of Twitch until this "hit the fan". But YES, apparently it is "important enough" of a web site that the developer SHOULD BE finding out what he did to the Chromium Code that broke Twitch.
