"Typing Insights"? - O&O has you covered:

Then again, if you keep things in your Google account, your Outlook account or surf the web... they will surely find things out about you (even if you don't have a Facebook account).

I'm not a coder, but similar stories will surely help some to appreciate and maybe eventually embrace this.

Kind of miss the ol' StumbleUpon site at times... 

Anyway, i stumbledupon this site today and couldn't help to laugh at things posted on their "about" page:

What is The Babylon Bee?
The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life.

The Babylon Bee was created ex nihilo on the eighth day of the creation week, exactly 6,000 years ago. We have been the premier news source through every major world event, from the Tower of Babel and the Exodus to the Reformation and the War of 1812. We focus on just the facts, leaving spin and bias to other news sites like CNN and Fox News.

If you would like to complain about something on our site, take it up with God.

Unlike other satire sites, everything we post is 100% verified by Snopes.com.

Funny that you would mention that IainB!

Had (once upon a time) Tim's role in elementary school and was just as timid as he. 

Merry Christmas to you all and may God bless you too!

Thanks Wraith808 - would have never known about that. 

Had posted on their forum but it's lost in the wind.

Have un-installed Brave all-together (on Android too).

Bookmark+Password import was ineffective.

Even Vivaldi (who aren't as well funded) do a better job at both!

A second look at the car seats and you may see two dark eyes on each seat.
Black cats as in previous post?

Find And Run Robot / Re: What is FARR's connection with Onedrive?

« on: July 27, 2019, 08:04 AM »

Whether Onedrive starts up with or without FARR, still get a problematic sync message.
Yup, Onedrive tells me it can't sync FARR if it isn't set to sync in its folder options.
You can't win!

Find And Run Robot / Re: What is FARR's connection with Onedrive?

« on: July 24, 2019, 06:36 PM »

Soorrry!

Yes, FARR folder is in "documents" which i have "unsynced" from Onedrive and thus should no longer have that notification.

Just noticed that Windows 10 "My Documents" is now only "Documents".
Have to quit dabbing around with Linux and concentrate on Windows only.

Find And Run Robot / Re: What is FARR's connection with Onedrive?

« on: July 24, 2019, 04:39 PM »

I don't recall ever explicitly giving Onedrive permission to take over "My Documents".
As far as i know (think), Onedrive desktop syncs "documents" with Onedrive "documents" online.
Isn't that the way it should be?

I've disabled Onedrive (a pain in the *** compared to Dropbox).

Find And Run Robot / Re: What is FARR's connection with Onedrive?

« on: July 23, 2019, 06:32 PM »

And why would FARR install by default to Onedrive documents folder?

19

Find And Run Robot / Re: What is FARR's connection with Onedrive?

« on: July 23, 2019, 10:53 AM »

How did it get there?
Does FARR install there by default?

Maybe i should try to re-install FARR and check if there's an option about that?

Find And Run Robot / What is FARR's connection with Onedrive?

« on: July 23, 2019, 08:10 AM »

I've got Onedrive by default and sync it only with Documents.
Why FARR is messed up with this is beyond my understanding:

Must always exit FARR for Onedrive to finish its sync.

I mean in the bar at the bottom.  I'm not sure if SlimJet shows it's downloads in the bottom bar...

Thought my screenshot via Screenshot Captor wasn't that bad!

So it's not working for you - well, my Brave sync code isn't registering on their service, so i guess we're even!

VirusTotal extension is a good addition for (Firefox and) Slimjet (or Chrome based clones):

@wraith808 - perfectly agree with the goodness of being able to choose what pleases us most. 

For the record:

Here is Vivaldi downloaded with Slimjet:

Here is Vivaldi downloaded with Brave:

Both have Dark Material Pro theme.

i stumbled upon "dark theme material pro":

-dantheman (June 20, 2019, 06:48 PM)

It looks a lot like the dark theme that comes built-in with the Brave browser.

-Deozaan (June 20, 2019, 08:48 PM)

I see we have a "brave" fan here!
Well, did download Brave to compare and its default dark, or dark theme from Chrome store or even Windows dark settings still not as nice.
The "Dark Material Pro" installed for Slimjet has greyish tone for inactive tabs, thus making the active one more noticeable.

Themes aren't everything, but when i find a nice one, i stick to it for a long time.
Slimjet's bookmark autohide and scroll through tabs with mouse just enhances this feature.

Don't spend time browsing for themes, but after removing a "morpheus dark" which i could no longer find again,
i stumbled upon "dark theme material pro":
https://chrome.googl...jkabkjedhbdbobofjigm
I like the way the active tab stands out as black and the others more greyish/light black. 
Fits in well with browser gui style too!

If someone finds similar turquoise, i'd take it out for a spin for sure!
