But why use the same extensions on a smartphone that you use on a desktop or laptop? Then set browser tasks specific to phone versus computer. But I also say that while being the ONLY person I know over the age of TWELVE that does not own a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed it forever. I came across this issue because it's no longer compatible otherwise it would go unnoticed. ublock origin + privacy badger combined (default settings) can score up to 86% https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html Edited March 14, 2023 by Milkinis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) And the results are misleading. It "thinks" I am allowing three inline scripts but my Proxomitron replaces them with "dummy scripts" instead of outright "blocking them". This enables me to block "first-party" scripts based on content instead of blocking 'all' "first-party" scripts.

I don't have this other cumbersome Privacy Badger, and my score is 97% easily (not 100% here, because in uBlock's "Filter Lists" I just didn't check the "Parse and enforce cosmetic filters" box, not wanting to make uBlock too heavy already...) so deny, disable all other missing privacy eating links (on this TEST d3ward page) in uBlock, and this way get your 97% or 100%, like here... this test has too much advertising... Extensions to see: HTTP Header Modifier: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/header自定义工具/maaccnhcoaehdeehahenkmchinbdjjmi?hl=en-US then Fingerprint Spoofing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fingerprint-spoofing/ljdekjlhpjggcjblfgpijbkmpihjfkni?hl=en-US and Random User-Agent Switcher: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/random-user-agent-switche/einpaelgookohagofgnnkcfjbkkgepnp?hl=en-US In the first one only notch 1 and 3 (write nothing under window), in the second notch all except webrtc (because they don't match if for example uBlock has the notch under "Prevent WebRTC from leaking..."), the third one just use as it is, it will randomly switch your user agent. Very light extensions, compared to the too claimed other Ghostery or Privacy Badgers... But you can also not download these extensions, and your browser would be happy too... because privacy doesn't exist (for our sake...). Look at the results with: https://whoer.net/fr then https://tools.iplocation.net/proxy-check and https://webbrowsertools.com/test-webrtc-leak/ Edited March 14, 2023 by msfntor (on this TEST d3ward page) added 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could NOT steal my passwords, because I do not use any... Then under "Privacy practices" button in each your extension page on web store, have you this "The developer has disclosed that it will not collect or use your data.." blah blah?

D.Draker Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 On 3/12/2023 at 11:55 AM, NotHereToPlayGames said: No. There is an intermittent "flash" where the default LIGHT background is presented and then "quickly changed" to dark. It doesn't change "fast enough" and I will never associate my name with that "flash" - it induces migraines and seizures to some folks. This could be the result of your interventions/alterations to the native skin, or maybe purely XP bug ? I didn't see anything *even remotely similar* with the version 13.5, but I didn't use the acid-coloured XP skin of yours, I took mine from the older 12th version. That being said, to be fair, I did notice the bug you describe with some of the Ungoogled versions. For example, chromium 102 has that weird flash bug, whereas 110/111 doesn't. It's much less apparent on Aero systems, even with a mediocre GPU. Solutions may involve trying to use the original dark theme, turning the aero back on, or updating the drivers to the 36x.xx range, I know XP can't go beyond the 36x.xx range.

Anbima Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I have non-googled rebuild-7. Can I just copy over the new files from rebuild-8 without losing settings and extensions? What files/folders would I need to replace? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
