Anbima Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 OT: How can in uBlock Origin for a domain to determine that no (or certain) filterlists are not used. uBlock should not be switched off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I find it impressing and funny that @NotHereToPlayGames managed to guess @AstroSkipper's thinking: "Q. E. D.". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works for you (as it does for me!), then others will learn from this also. The error no longer occurred. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though "swiftshader" isn't 'supported' by XP and is 'supposed' to only apply to Vulkan API, the REALITY is that the upstream developers are using these .dll's for OTHER purposes and KEEPING them makes 360Chrome MUCH more STABLE for certain setups. Those that don't need them, fine, they can delete them. But some of us DO need them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it can't be called a fix since he went out of his way to break it in the first place.

I mean, it was backported and gets you laggy maps on meteoblue.com (and other WebGL content), no? SwiftShader has some history, before acquired by Google, the version from the old times provided software rendering for D3D8/D3D9 functions.

I was given faulty intel. I should have known better and resorted to "trust but verify". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) BTW, what would you guys use in place of GeoFlag in WebExtension world? IP Domain Country Flag (I guess it looks up geo-data online in real-time) Country Flags & IP Whois (uses local database that updates every week) Country Flag + (uses local database, doesn't update?) Something else? Edited January 21 by UCyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 14 minutes ago, UCyborg said: Something else? I have a "SmartWhois" entry in my click-to-access Proxomitron Menu that gives me that info. But I only access it "on demand" as opposed to performing "real-time". I personally avoid any extension that has to fetch "updates" and I'm not fond of "real-time" data lookups that make their own internet connections whenever they feel like it. I like the idea of a LOCAL database that I myself would have to update in the event that an "unknown" icon shows up instead of an actual flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyfan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) what browser would anyone suggest for use on windows 10? I know there are millions of custom browsers out there but which one works best? I'm working on moving away from firefox based browsers and would like input on what browser I should use thanks Edited January 21 by legacyfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I have been investigating that very thing.

Did you quote my post by mistake? I assume you originally meant to quote @NotHereToPlayGames's post only, not mine, since he's talking about the fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Does it matter? It's all loosely related. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msfntor Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Referring to the previous discussion on fonts visibility in chrome, in parallel with the Blacker Text extension, you can also use Page Font Bolder, it works very good (Size 6.76KiB only): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-font-bolder/nnokmbbdobieckndjabadnfkkcliakja/related?hl=en - or bold your zoom under Chrome settings page... -and (not related): To increase security in general, I added: Domain whitelist (Size 12.3KiB yeah! so almost no memory footprint...), Offered by Dusan Halicky : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/domain-whitelist/pdfmaijcdceohdpbclfdidiobpfpdkda?hl=en With whitelist AND blacklist too, it's able to stop 3rd party domain (so viral..) invisibly cached in an link... - so you're sure to not get malware after click on something innocent-looking... (I've checked it out!). "Domain whitelist (DW) is worlds smallest interactive ad blocker. It blocks all HTTP requests. If you want to see some website, you must explicitly allow its domain (in popup window displayed when you click on DW button)." "Tip: you can use "*." to allow subdomains e.g. " *.googlevideo.com" for youtube" Edited January 22 by msfntor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
