In the cool browser made by e3kskoy7wqk  and @mjd79  "uBlock filters - Ads" is not needed!

The message "problem loading the page" is not a fault of the browser, but a condition created by the script that tries to access blocked Ad Shield servers (html-load, content-loader, unfreezehuge). This is seen as a "problem" because those indeed could not be loaded. Supermium works fine for all I need. Of course uBlock Origin can have a finer control over what is blocked than a DNS or IP filter, and it can probably disable the master script that is embedded in the mage or work around it somehow.

its nice to have a other chrome for windows xp, seems that i was mistaken

i wasnt looking for e3kskoy7wq´s browser because the title just says something about win7

"Firefox and Chromium running on Windows 7 by e3kskoy7wqk"

but i tryed it out, it definitely works, the performance looks a bit slower but that is probaly a other discussion

i also looked for the v54 i had in mind in the past it seems to be made by TaoKaiZen, where this skia discussion in the past was around

How can you compare a much lower Supermium 144 version, aged 6 months, to a much newer 150 version of e3kskoy7wq´s browser?

This one is kind of difficult to track down.  I haven't been able to "undo" whatever my uBO is doing and UNABLE to get the anti-adblock banner.

UNABLE TO !!!  Granted, I've been trying to disable ONE list at a time, but when I do, ANOTHER list prevents the anti banner.

Makes me wonder just how 'bad' any uBO config "is" when any uBO user of any kind *DOES* get that banner.

ie, if your uBO config is THAT *bad*, why are you even using uBO?  But I digress, lol.

Which may or may not require this filter to be working in conjunction with.

At any rate, my combination of filters "work" (for that site) and yours "do not".  

ie, you need a better combination of filters.  

 

Thanks, good to know why we saw different results.
It doesn't worry me, as it's not a site I will ever use anyway, and I've not had this happen anywhere else.
If it starts happening a lot, that I'm blocked from a site unless I disable uBlock, I will certainly look at my list configuration.
Apart from some element blocking, my uBlock is pretty much out of the box.

Just as a matter of interest, off-topic, does this "cool browser made by e3kskoy7wqk" support Google Sync?
If it doesn't, I won't be using it, regardless of how many Chromium versions above Supermium it is!

I'm the opposite, I have no use for Google Sync, lol.

So I will have to set up a "fake" Google account and run a test.

I "think" (but have to verify) that e3k-blah-blah-blah has both a "normal" and an "ungoogled".

His GitHub repo definitely hosts BOTH (normal and ungoogled).

I'll leave it to somebody that USES google sync to test.

The "normal" SHOULD work.  But yeah, somebody would have to test.  But it SHOULD work.

I only use UNGOOGLED forks.  "To each their own."

v150 so far seems to only have the NORMAL.  The ungoogled release is not out yet.

Nothing against Supermium, but to me, the e3k-punch-keyboard is *FAR SUPERIOR* in essentially every way imaginable.

Apparently multiple news sites are behind Ad Shield and 80% recipe sites have "switched to it overnight".

https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/1qk1eoe/many_recipe_sites_being_blocked/

If they are readable without JavaScript, which stops everything including Ad Shield from running, that is the easiest method to access.

I don't want to jump between web browsers if they are by and large the same engine with a different skin, and each takes some time to set up and disk space.

Sorry, but what exactly is that?

It's MY WAY of referencing a name that NOBODY CAN REMEMBER without scrolling through several pages to find the last reference and COPYING IT.

Seriously, who can REMEMBER a RANDOM STRING OF CHARACTERS like "e3kskoy7wqk" ???

To me, it looks like somebody DIED while sitting at a keyboard, fell nose first into that keyboard, and his nose, ears, chin, and tongue spelled out his "dying word".

Is that a WORD in ANY language on this planet ???

So yeah, instead of hunting hunting hunting for it, copying and pasting, I will forever henceforth refer to it as e3k-blah, ek3-blah, et cetera.

"To each their own."

LOL, understood!

Anyway, I've been using Supermium for ages now, and I've always been very happy with it.
I'm not going to rush to use another browser just to gain a few more Chromium versions.
The Supermium developer has mentioned in the past about using the equivalent of ESR versions of Chromium.
How relevant that is, I don't know, as ESR versions are a Mozilla thing of course, but that may explain why he doesn't keep on updating with new Chromium versions as soon as they're released. He seems to update after about another 10 Chromium versions.

Chrome does have an ESR / Enterprise edition.  At least they used to, we used it at work.  But for some reason, either IT abandoned it or Google abandoned it, I cannot speak towards that.

I do know that we used to only have a "you must close your browser to complete the update" every TWO MONTHS or so and now we get it every 3 or 4 d@mn weeks.

WAY too often when you were used to that TWO MONTHS or so.

Ungoogled, obviously not, hence the name.  Standard - yes! 
After all, it's just a backport adopted to the older OS, without someone's 
crooked hands getting into the core engine...
