But disabling the USB backend fixes most of them! I’ve always liked Mini but prefer 360 for its greater speed, better interface and nearly identical web capabilities. If the things being done with 360 now could in theory be applied to Mini, I’d be very excited to do beta testing. But I am very thankful for 360 and have no issues with it, so Mini isn’t too important to me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msfntor Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Everything is fine, thank you! I downloaded the browser from your first link, then I downloaded uBlock 1.26.2. I checked "Developer Mode" on the Extensions page, then I dragged the uBlock folder from My Documents... Every time I restart the browser, I get this popup: "Disable extensions in developer mode"... Could you please remove it? Link to uBlock O. version 1.26.2: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.26.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 You should not need to check Developer Mode to drag-and-drop on the Extensions page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msfntor Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hmm, I've spoked about uBlock Origin, not Ghostery... Very bad, this cumbersome Ghostery. To see trackers and other External Domain Requests, I use Browser JSGuard, very light. I have sent the link, already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Release Notes for your preferred version 1.26.2 clearly state that no code changes exist between it and previous version 1.26.0; the whole purpose served by that .2 release was to address an Easylist-related fonts issue, affecting ONLY Firefox, not Chromium-based forks... You can safely use the .crx file of v1.26.0 hosted on crx4chrome and be done with; it doesn't need "developer mode" enabled and it's just an archive of the very same file as it was available in CWS... Life is hard as it is, one need not make it even harder ... Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because if you download from the Chrome Store, then you have a browser that enables a persistent cookie and yes, that cookie does send data back without requesting permission. If you use any browser that mimmicks Ungoogled Chromium, then this data link is disabled and now you have to manually create that data link. No privacy-conscious consumer should ever use any non-ungoogled Chromium fork, in my humble opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of discussion very easily falls into the same type of "surface discussions" here at MSFN that if we get too "detailed" or provide actual "links", then we break MSFN Forum Rules. MSFN does not promote violating Software License Agreements yet MSFN does allow "surface discussions" on things like POSReady and extended kernels. It's a very fine line. 7 hours ago, Milkinis said: this is quite frustrating. if one doesn't accept the terms it won't work MSFN does not promote violating Software Terms. There are, however, "Fair Use" clauses (I may have the wrong "legal term", but you still get the gist) whereby you ACCEPT the Software Terms but OPT OUT of the sharing of non-personal information. This OPT OUT is often such fine print that the average consumer is completely unaware that they even CAN "opt out". I have not read the Softwware Terms for Ghostery and make no claims on how its Software Terms are worded. I would claim that most of us here at MSFN are well "above average" consumers so as far as "surface discussions" go, I will add this - If you BREAK your dependency on the Chrome Web Store (ie, use Ungoogled Forks) and download archived .crx files instead, that .crx is just a .zip file - open that .crx and you can see everything!
