I think I already said earlier , there are plenty of non-chinese IPs . fastly.org , for example, even http connections to several IPs that marked as scam . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right about that. But it's pretty much impossible to find all IPs this browser might want to connect to at some point in time. Nevertheless it's a good start to block all chinese IPs and you can be pretty sure that at least the chinese government will not learn what shoes you buy on Amazon...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I use "beta" version , btw. I mean , it is funny how the chinese call the release version of chromium - beta . And you're better off using this "beta" too . Why ? it has less chinese junk stuffed into it. What do you think they do ? Fixing the chrome's engine ? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixel Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Someone knows what "Level 3 Communications" is ? Chromium browsers love to make these connections . 360 too , of course ! These are quite frequent : 8.238.108.126, 8.238.89.126 Also in this range 8.238.108.0 - 8.238.108.22 /22 Netblock Details - Level 3 Parent, LLC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNameNeeded Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I use version 13.0.2220.0 It was the most recent version when I downloaded it a few weeks ago. Now it's 13.0.2250.0 but I don't think I'll update to this version anytime soon. Can't be much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Mine also loves Microsoft in the range 13.64.0.0 - 13.107.255.255 , this one is a frequent one 13.107.4.50 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blocked the range of 8.224.0.0 to 8.255.255.255 which might be way too much but I didn't care... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope , not my ISP . I do not use bookmarks (never). Why ? Because chrome uses them for spying too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those interested in trying the beta releases, I've found a Dropbox that contains thirteen beta releases (these are the X-Pen repack versions). Page that contains the Dropbox = http://effect8.ru/soft/browsers/360-extreme-explorer-portable.html The actual Dropbox itself = https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1br0hs9ft84gf0v/AADEnsCRUFogCCHFSX8SBkHZa Edited May 29, 2021 by ArcticFoxie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 For those rare users who have forced translations to russian/chinese (which I don't) , try to add flag --disable-translate . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
