    So Edge's anti-tracking works? Or is working "too good"? And Firefox's anti-tracking does NOT work? Or working "sufficiently"?

    That and anybody that has ever used Malwarebytes knows that it "detects" things that have nothing to do with "vulnerabilities". It has to find SOMETHING so that the userbase gets that warm fuzzy feeling in their gut. That's how Malwarebytes establishes brand loyalty.

    What comes around, goes around. I basically view it all as NO DIFFERENT than FIREFOX (and Linux) mentality from the 90s and 2000s. We have ALL seen it over the years, ask a non-Firefox (or Windows) question, and you are riduculed and mocked and told to "switch to Firefox" (or "switch to Linux"). Again - what comes around, goes around. BUT... If we are to be truly honest, even "this" XP USER did that to a Win10 Users just a couple months ago! My own sister was having issues with Edge on Win10 and with her wireless printer and my FIRST reply to her was I DON'T HAVE THOSE ISSUES ON MY XP. She still have printer issues - but her Edge issues were resolved by having her try a roytam browser and by trying official Pale Moon (she ended up chosing the latter). All fine and dandy to me - I've always always always felt that browser choice is ENTIRELY up to the browsee's PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

    Yep, saw that. Somebody posted a screencap because now you have to be signed in to be able to read that forum.

    Will take your word for it. I do not "troll" that forum. I have no clue of this poor soul's thinking - past, present, or future. I do know that even here at MSFN, we have "rib pokers" so yeah, one has to learn to see them as such and IGNORE THEM.

    The "comment" didn't look that "bad" to me. A "rib poke" only escalates if the owner of the rib "reacts impulsively" instead of "acting consciously". The "comment" was nothing more than a "rib poke". To me, it looked more like a *TEST* - some sort of "watch this, I'll post this and then I'll monitor MSFN, now I will know what members there also read here".

    I'd also add that *NONE* of us MSFN XP Users have a "setup" like that BIASED video used. They opened all ports, set everything to lowest security possible, didn't NAT on LAN behind a router, you name it. They *WANTED* to be *INFECTED* and so they "configured" their XP to *BECOME* infected. By all means, DO THAT TYPE OF SETUP in 7, 8, 10, and 11 and "report your findings".
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    I've seen that video before. I am unable to replicate. Granted, my XP install *never* (and I mean *NEVER*) connects to the internet *without* Proxomitron filtering/blocking those connections. Personally, I would love to see this same exact "test" be performed on 7, 8, 10, and 11. Do you really think for one second that Malwarebytes won't find similar with 7, 8, 10, and 11 "if installed the same way as the test-case XP" ???

    I prefer Proxy Switchy Auto version 1.2.2. With it, if a web site is "sourced" by three different servers, I can send each server through its own Proxy, none of the three servers know they each served content to one end-user.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    Because MSFN would cease to exist if it weren't for - 1) People with very old hardware trying to run modern web browsers 2) People with very new hardware trying run or "look like" very old operating systems

    I've seen the browser-level fill-login broken in the past as well! It's actually why I use an Autofill extension nowadays. A ran into a lot of web sites where the browser-level fill-login would remember the USERNAME but would NOT remember the PASSWORD. Some of those were with an "input" parameter that could be REMOVED by PROXOMITRON, but not all were that "simple". As far as workig on 11 but no longer on 7, I wonder if it's a "ssl cert" algorithm? I've seen portable browser, exact profile, work in 10 but not on XP all on account of ssl encryption algorithm.

    You'll just have to witness it yourself. The WinPenPack prevents (ie, "redirects") those registry entries. But you do have to be "smart enough" to edit the .INI file (and "smart enough" to delete any registry entries already present). I trust that you (smart enough, that is).

    We're TALKING IN CIRCLES. I've already mentioned that I do NOT use "installers".
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    Definitely NOT me! I disable "HW Acceleration" on all of my HWA-capable computers.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed! Same here. Single-core CPU, XP x86, IBM ThinkPad T42. This T42 is on its "last leg", I only keep it around to tune aftermarket turbo's and hex-edit Engine Control Modules. I am in-process of migrating all of my engine tuning software to something else - because one of these days, it is SUPERMIUM that is going to outright KILL this laptop!

    I'll hit "run again", walk to fast food down the road, and see if a second run improves. Scratch that. Computer locked up at 100% and I had to unplug the d@mn thing to reboot! Supermium really really REALY hates single-core computers!
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    XP single-core - 360Chrome [86] == 23.04 seconds Chrome 92 == 15.92 seconds Chrome 108 == 26.52 seconds Thorium == 18.02 seconds Supermium == appeared to lock up at 3.24 seconds, waited anyway, appeared to lock up at 80.99 seconds, waited some more, still waiting, still waiting, 381.74 seconds Granted, I may be behind a version on both my Thorium and my Supermium. And the author of Supermium does explicitly advise not to run on single-core (but this is supposed to be for OLD computers, so I'm running on an OLD computer).

    Is that FOUR point eighty? Or NINE point eighty? That font is TERRIBLE.
