    Yes. At least that has been my understanding "from the beginning". https://phoenixts.com/blog/history-chrome-for-those-who-dont-know/ https://www.howtogeek.com/202825/whats-the-difference-between-chromium-and-chrome/

    I've wholly and completely disabled Automatic Updates (and Windows Firewall, Windows Defender, Security Center, Search Indexing, Prefetch/Superfetch, Connected User Experience, Diagnostic Tracking, Insider Service, Font Cache, ...) in every OS that I've ever used !!! Up to and including Win10 LTSB 2016 !!!

    Technically, Chrome itself is a "port" or a "fork" or a "knock-off" !!! I'm still very much UNCLEAR of the DEFINITION of each. Without UPSTREAM CHROMIUM, Chrome itself would not exist.

    I seldom, if ever, vote on any of these types of polls.

    This is probably going to be counted as a "loss" - but I'm posting it anyway, lol. D r . A s s

    I myself have no clue just how to define "ported" versus "knock-off". To me, NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR was not the "first" web browser (a program called "WorldWideWeb" was!) but it WAS the first for PUBLIC USE. EVERYTHING ever since is a "knock-off" of NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR.

    Good Series! The actor went to something called (if I remember correctly) "The Good Doctor". I haven't watched any of "The Good Doctor" to know if it's as goos as "Bates Motel".

    I know. And that's exactly how I read it. At the time you wrote that, you said I only lost ONCE. I said that won't do, I can do better than losing ONCE. So I intentionally lost 10 times! 10 is binary for TWO. I have lost TWICE because "last" is a "loss". But I clearly "lost" you aslo, lol.

    scale

    LAST

    so for my "last" word and to put me at an even 10 ---
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    Well that just won't do... I'll need to get to an even 10. But there will only be 10 types of people that will understand - 1) those that understand binary 2) those that do not

    so this game has NO RULES ???
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    That's what I was afraid of.

    At home, no. At work, we get them quite frequently. They have an entire forum dedicated to reporting false positives - and they are quick to fix.

    That's not a step "forward" for users that want a truly ungoogled variant. ALLOWING involuntary connections to Google services just because the non-ungoogled userbase complains louder than the ungoogled userbase ??? ??? ??? Perhaps "flags" will be added to PREVENT these involuntary connections? Because what's the point of calling something ungoogled if you allow involuntary connections?

    I agree. I really don't know where to draw the line. Not trying to take both sides, lol I do feel that "bringing negativity" from OTHER forums onto this forum only EXTENDS that negativity "another generation", so to speak. BROADENS the diameter of negativity. Folks that would have otherwise NEVER known about the negativity, now know about the negativity - just which "side" did that really HELP? But of course, TECHNICAL ISSUES should be SHARED. But again, just which "side" is BENEFITED from sharing the types of negativities that if it were self-contained all within MSFN, our admins would point the negative poster or PM "the baited" instructions how to use the "ignore feature".

    No prob here. As I've stated hundreds of times, browser choice is always always always a matter of PERSONAL PREFERENCE. There will never ever ever be a "one size fits all". The more, the merrier. I've never replied to any "which browser works best" with anything other than "we cannot make that choice for you, you will have to try several and decide for yourself". I'm also NOT a fan of "aero". Not a fan of "transparent" toolbars in 10 either.

    I actually think what he's trying to do is for one.example.com two.example.com three.example.com www.example.com and what you are proposing will only work for example.com

    I don't disagree. But... um... I don't disagree with "them" either. "They" have a different audience then "we" do. Whether we like to admit it or not, "their" future is HELD BACK *if* they bend over backwards for "us". Seriously, where do you think NM27, NM28, St52, or St55 would really REALLY be today if they tried to maintain compatibility with Win 3.1 or Win 3.11? The difference is, as I see it, is that MSFN Members acknowledge that "both can coexist". I cannot confirm nor deny if they think the same. Because let's also admit that most of us MSFN Members only "read" what's going on "over there" when somebody brings the "negatives" over to MSFN. I do not follow their forum. I don't exactly agree with "us" being updated when anti-MSFN or anti-XP posts are posted "over there". It's why I have a privacy fence at the house. Neighbor's weed-filled lawn compared to my grass-only, not a single solitary "broadleaf" -- fence = "out of sight, out of mind".

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this sounds "bad" to me. ie, one can "google" without the gstatic trackers, one can "bing" without the azureedge trackers. One should be able to "x" without the x trackers.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    So Edge's anti-tracking works? Or is working "too good"? And Firefox's anti-tracking does NOT work? Or working "sufficiently"?
