The digital mobsters do not let you watch videos in Palemoon. I revile these ****ers. If you don’t play in their sandbox they banish you. We really need a Conservative browser. I don’t have the bucks and I don’t write code, but all our mega dollar talkers could do it and do us a favor and liberty a favor. Until then we loosing grip. Brave is ok, too naked for me, I haven’t tried Vivaldi.
You know I haven’t actually used it in a year or better. Guess I won’t bother trying it again.
Have no idea. Just heard about dissenter a few days ago.
All my extension suddenly clicked off, Ad Block went gray, Dissenter too, nothing working. Not able to download any replacements either.
Tried installing Brave, 3rd or 4th try, still won’t work. About 8 or 10 instances of Brave showing up in task manager, hogging enough CPU resources to bog the machine down, took me a good 10 minutes to get it to shut down at all, it kept popping up in task manager again soon as I killed it. And that’s with 7 or 8 still left to deal with...nightmare...
So for now I’m on a different laptop running Linux, the Slacko version they have been working on the past few years. All working fine, including an Ad Blocker. Different setup, it’s apparently a stand alone program, not shown in the tool bar. Works like a charm though. I get no ads at all, occasionally a place holder saying the website couldn’t load...good...
Not sure what’s going on with Brave, I’ve tried to install it 3 or 4 times, never got it to run at all, usually locked up the machine and forced a hard reboot, or like yesterday, 15 minutes trying to force it to shut down so I can uninstall it again...don’t think I’m going to try it any more. Yes I know it’s the right version, I built and repaired these damn things for a living for 15 years, I do watch for that...also downloaded a new installer yesterday instead of using the older one, same results.
Yeah... Firefox isn't a search engine.
So...
Also removed “searchlight(?)” (now I can’t remember the name of the add-on),..click on it and it brought up a map of all IPs linked to sites your machine was accessing. Showed a graph theoretical image of the system with nodes and arcs between IPs with highest traffic.
Lightbeam was removed
Already dealt with my slip-up in a previous reply - but what does one need an actual browser for anyway?
