It's nothing new, all browsers from that country scan your files, already discussed here, found by @XP4ever

I also remember I observed similar behaviour with Opera (spinning up/scanning even sleeping HDDs) back in 2017, soon after the Norwegians sold Opera to the new owners in Asia.

Feel free to research before jumping on some bandwagon blaming this to be "from that country" or only after Opera was sold by Norwegians to Asia.

Here is Chrome v24 accessing floppy drive  --  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=153763

Here is Chrome v26 accessing floppy drive  --  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=173953

Here is Chrome v28 accessing floppy drive  --  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=234318

This is NOT a "from that country" or "sold to the Asians" CONSPIRACY.

How's Chrome from 10 years ago is relevant to this discussion? I too noticed the same spinning disks and floppy scanning with CatsXP (iit's from the same the country you prefer not to name). How would you explain that?

Why do we not notice it in Supermium v115? Actually, it would've been reported immediately because Supermium is quite popular already.

 How would you explain that?

More to the point, if you insist it's purely Chrome related, then it can be switched off in the flags, yet it doesn't work. For me it looks like an old bug is there for a purpose, but you're free to not agree with my opinion.

Besides, judging by the comments in your multiple 360topics, you didn't solve it in (not saying which country) Chrome360. Why? I mean, if it's not a spying feature, but rather a well documented bug. Care to expand? thanks

I did a proper research before the posting, but you - obviously not, it's especially funny because it's on your linked pages.

The issue was fixed in v28, more than 10 years and confirmed by the developers and checked by the testers.

Proof at the end of the page.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=234318

"Confirmed that floppy is not accessed when chrome is launched."

Verified in 28.0.1500.95 (Official Build 213514)

You're not agree with the obvious facts? Then I'd like to hear your version on why the "bug" is there in the browsers that originate from the same place.

EDIT: but please without fighting and accusing me of something I didn't do. Stick to the facts. So far, the facts point out to one place you're not happy to hear about.

You're "done" because you have nothing to contradict to the facts scientifically (which is an expected behaviour on a technical forum), nor you can find any reports of the same behaviour in Chrome 115 Official Build.

It's kind of an "infinite loop" argument, if you ask me.  You are correct that no reports exist for official v115.  But how much of that is because official v115 does not work on hardware where floppy disks even exist?

I've never witnessed this when I did have hardware that did have a floppy disk.  I no longer have that hardware.  I also no longer run XP (nor do you).

What we need, if we truly want accuracy and not heresay, is somebody that has XP and a floppy drive.

I did not witness this "bug" when I did have a floppy drive.  I fear neither one of us is doing the "argument" ANY justice.

So to me, we both win.  And we both lose.  That's the best I can do for you, lol.

Though now I'm kind of curious, would an external DVD Burner have this same "bug"?  I do have an external USB-driven DVD Burner.

Argument is when both sides have valid facts, we haven't read any from you. Also, it's not "heresay", it's been confirmed by at least several members and Chrome developers, including the comments in your topic with 360Chrome. It's not only Floppy disks, it's basically any storage, HDD, USB stick, I actually read it is also DVD. The goal is not to "win". The goal would be to defeat the spying "features" coming from that dubious place. It's not only linked to XP, I can reproduce even on Win 7. Example, an external WD 8TB storage with "green" saving features sleeps, then it turns on and spins up when the browser starts. I have the same behaviour with 360Chrome and CatsXP.

The "light turning on" or the "disk spinning" is not one in the same with "files are being scanned".  That was my primary point.  Those three finds are from very old versions, I grant you that, but they to contain "facts" that files are not being scanned just because the disk spins or the light turns on.

 

At any rate, now it has befallen to which of us is going to get the "last word".  I'll let you, as we both know you will reply  :cool:.  As so often is the case here at MSFN, someone says "done" but they actually keep coming back, "my bad".  LOL

I'm going to blame it on long Holiday Weekend and "boredom".  :hello:

Ok, can we count it as your version of those events then? The browser turns on the lights and spins up the disks, then the chirping sounds follows, and all that just because the browsers from that place are simply bored?

I remember minibrowser crashing when inserting USB drives (it is not the same thing but it relates to external media stuff), user @realisty found out that by turning off the "Enable new USB backend" flag in "chrome://flags/" made the browser not to crash anymore. I don't know if that can help (I also don't know if that flag still exists on 115).

The flag in 360Explorer is there. but turning it off doesn't prevent the HDD from spinning up.

Addition, googled for about half an hour, no such oddity in the official 115 found.
