Sure, the Nissan GTR is a great car but it can’t do 2500bhp out of the box! :lol:

The latest Nissan GTR may be a very comfy and luxurious ride but come head-2-head the loud, uncomfortable, and 90s looking modified Supra will smoke it!

And that’s what matters to me… I’m using car comparisons here in the hope that you’ll get where I'm coming from.

You see, my browser will never “go places” because it’s a weird nerdy thing with no pizzazz.

To the non technical user it’s a monstrosity but to die-hard coders who quickly explore power features it’s a...

:shock: WTF… how did he do that?

Jap crap is what they both are.

You want real cars then you need to stick to the American and Australian muscle cars. :lol:

If you took a Charger to Cyprus, you would be the talk of the entire island. That noise is unbeatable.

OK then, can you explain to me where Mozilla fits into all this? Because to the weird nerds and geeks out there, it is completely open source and you can code it. You don't need to rely on third parties like uBlock. You can drop a piece of code and stop all adds that way as well, like you are doing but I think they also have a way of protecting code changes when the software updates.

What makes you think that yours is better then?

What makes you think that the geeks out there don't want Quick Commands, Stacking, and mouse gestures?

...and compile it to produce an executable, but you can't programme Mozilla or Chrome on the FLY like you can do in mine.

In Chrome you can run a one-off script in the developer tools but it's not the same as the ability to SAVE scripts and load them automatically in ALL websites as you like. Huge difference.

For example…
1. Search & replace text as websites load… you have no idea how complicated that is to write.
2. Cookie banner removals… again, very complex.
3. JavaScript injection… better than SEX!
4. Cache-less browsing… DREAM +

Etc, etc... none of the commercial browsers do these things.

Who says mine doesn’t stack multiple window/sites? Mine actually does UNLIMITED stacking. Mouse gestures are stupid so I left them out.

OK fair enough.

But don't leave mouse gestures out. It is a very efficient way to browse on the web.

Mate, I think they can do more than what I need, and that includes stopping all adds.

I really do not know what you are on about with all the rest. But if it is so ground breaking, why don't you release the code for all of us to check out?

I'm downloading again Get Real. So this better be good, because last time I felt like I wasted my valuable time.

BTW, according to your website:

2. Embedded ad-videos... we have failed in killing these so far, but a page refresh or sometimes two seems to do the trick.

Have you stopped YouTube adds or not?

I will be so freaked out if I see a single add mate. It would be a traumatic experience for me. :lol:

Now you’re talking Paphitis!

Now you recognize that YOUR needs and MINE are two different animals!

Unfortunately, I can never get satisfaction from commercial browsers because they don’t accommodate a CONTROL FREAK like me!


Don't DL now... I'll be uploading a new version any day now plus we are not the same people so you'll be disappointed again. :lol:

Now, have you blocked embedded YouTube adds or not? And how did you do it?

And does this require coding each time after an update or not?

Didn't I already post a script for that? :?

Users are meant to copy those 3 lines (yes there are 3) and paste them here (one-off)...
