General Software Discussion / Re: Mozilla search result behaving abnormally?

« on: September 24, 2019, 02:13 PM »

Sorry, I was quoting half a sentence... 

Chrome overtook Firefox in November 2011,

-Wikipedia

Now I have read the entire sentence, and read it a little slower, and realize it says:

Chrome overtook Firefox in November 2011, in worldwide usage.

I want to remove that app or thing that is making Mozilla behave in a strange way.
......
I don't want Mozilla to behave that way.

Of course you can change it. But the unwanted behavior is Google, not Firefox. Google is not a search engine, but an advert seller. So the easiest way is to pay and become a premium member (I am not).

But whatever solution you chose, you will have to do new settings on you Google homepage. You didn't know you have such? You use Firefox which is designed by Google, so you have! Begin at https://adssettings....le.com/authenticated

Lifehacker has changed a lot since then, so there is no "Texter Installer 0.6.exe" file any more. Do you have a copy (or newer) that I can have a copy of, please? I believe it's small enough to be uploaded here.

General Software Discussion / Re: Altap Salamander now freeware

Stop bickering!

FreeCommander is freeware - and they also have a bonus version for donators.

The “Donor Version” of the program is the release created more often then once a year, as bonus for the donors. These versions are marked in the about dialog box as “donor” and not as “public”.  The donor versions are available as 64 and 32 bit, both in setup and portable form. The functions of the donor release compared to public are the same with the exception for searching in the “PDF” files.

General Software Discussion / Re: my solution to Virus Totaluploader

« on: August 10, 2019, 02:50 AM »

This thread is confusing me. The meaning of VT is to test any site or file BEFORE downloading anything, not to download and only then test. You have described what we use a locally installed anti-virus program for! But, again, it's much better to test before downloading.

What Internet browser are you using? Go to https://support.viru...5-Browser-Extensions and find your match!
For Chrome you can go straight to https://chrome.googl...aegfbieplglfidafgoka

But maybe I misunderstood the situation?

General Software Discussion / Re: Recover image links in the blog

« on: July 04, 2019, 03:55 AM »

Photobucket announced a change to its Terms of Service on June 26, 2017, requiring a US$399 per year subscription fee for those who want to hotlink images from Photobucket's servers to display on other sites, a service it had previously offered for free. This change resulted in vast numbers of photos online being replaced with a graphic advising users to upgrade their account.

Photobucket has received extensive criticism in response, with many charging the company with "blackmail" or "extortion", and destroying the design of many websites. In March 2018, under the guidance of new CEO Ted Loenard, plans initially ranging from US$1.99 to US$8.99 monthly based on storage size replaced the flat-rate model. Prices later jumped to a range from US$4.48 to US$11.48 monthly for those same usage increments.

-Wikipedia

meaning, the $399 claim is no longer valid.

Is this also taking out the validity of your post?

^ oh, yes, of course.

@Akertyna: My suggestion is that you change the download directory for FB2Mate, so there not will be any other videos in that folder. Then you can have a script to automatically rename every file.

A brand new version, more powerful than ever, for hard drive performance faster than ever, so you can continue to experience a PC where everything just happens faster!
UltimateDefrag is now also a fully featured NTFS file compression tool.

Of course you can use UltimateDefrag from within Windows; Just right-click on a folder within Windows Explorer itself.

Just installed some new software? Go into its folder and enter the command UltimateDefrag *.*\ and in a few moments your new program will be defragmented and ready to run with better performance right from the word go. Many PC users have no idea that installing new software installs it with many, sometimes tens of thousands, of fragments.

Another easy way to Defragment Files In A Folder:
Just go to Command Prompt, Navigate to a folder/directory, Enter the command UltimateDefrag *.* and every file in the folder/directory will be defragmented.
