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!

Cat looks like it's impatiently waiting for a passenger.

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?

« Last post by dantheman 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!

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.

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?

« Last post by dantheman 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?

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:

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!

General Software Discussion / Re: Mozilla shoots itself in foot

« Last post by dantheman on May 06, 2019, 07:59 AM »

@Shades - we are creatures of habit.
Firefox has always been a love/hate relationship for me.
Nightmares of extension incompatibilities, slow to boot and surf...
Still, no matter how often i've gotten upset with it, for some reason, i just come back to it.
The others just don't match it.

@anandcoral - good for you!

Had beta installed and with "Firefox Data Collection and Use" re-checked, all came back to normal the next day after the hick.

Wonder if it's not a Mozilla tactic to get users to leave these options on?
Conspiracy? oh! oh!

I've been a user and proponent of Firefox since day one back in... 2002 with Phoenix!
Like many, i was tempted in commenting on Ghacks but did not.
While their "Quantum" leap was a huge deception (especially because of Legacy extensions taking the boot),
this latest bump in the road might very well be the last one for me.
Have been testing quite a few different browsers since then (mostly Chrome clones) and Slimjet seems to have found a niche in my heart for reliability and features.
Waterfox? Just doesn't do it like Firefox.
Palemoon? Just feels and looks like an old clunker (even with themes).

So, no, i'm not going to post anywhere else about this.
It's just sad to see a once great browser take the ditch (maybe once and for all).

We adopted a stray kitty over a year ago.
One day, in the tv room, it was standing on the heating unit, leaning on the window sill, looking intently outside.
So, i go up to it, and notice two squirrels running up/down the nearby oak tree.
Now i understood what mesmerized him.
So, i asked him, "Andy, you see squirrels, do you like squirrels?"
He turned around, screaming like a child "No!!!!"
Wish i could have filmed that hilarious moment.

Wish there were something similar to do with phone messages.

Sometimes, i wonder if these scammers don't buy a list of phone no. people have canceled and use them as kind of bots.

Be curious though to hear scammer reactions to this re:scam thing.
