However, I really don’t think this browser is for you Paphitis because you’re not an Internet control freak, or a computer nerd so you’re better off with what you’re using.

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)...

Right now I can't even install, even after turning my anti virus off. :?

I remember this issue last time, but now can't remember how I got around it.

You click on that underlined warning “?????” during install to proceed anyway…

I think you should forget it. :lol:


This is what blocks people from installing anything they want...

Yes I did. I am way ahead of the game than you seem to think.

And I downloaded it no problems.

Your web tunes links are mostly now defunct and broken. You need to clean it all up. Havent checked anything else.

Plus, it doesn't let you log into YouTube. I know you hate that as it tracks you but it doesn't bother me as I don't look at stupid things anyway so they can track me all they want. I have my saved channels which I like.

Plus, FireFox bookmarks import doesn't work. :roll:

You're meant to EXPORT bookmarks from firefox to the desktop first.

OK I have done that.

What pisses me off is that you don't have an import function for Opera and Vivaldi.

Also, do I need to keep importing them again after each update?

And half of all your links don't work.

No, never again regardless of which version you have downloaded. I've placed all user settings and stuff in a universal folder outside of the program.

Yes, I know I have to update some of my music and other links... takes ages! :lol:

I would have to study Opera to facilitate import from it... but Vivaldi may work with a Chrome import.

When I tried to import Chrome bookmarks, it actually imported Chrome bookmarks.

Anyhow, they are all the same. I haven't updated my Chrome in a long time as I NEVER use it anymore.

My Firefox, Vivaldi and Opera are up to date though.

I need guidance about that code I need to put in to stop adds.

Is this the code exactly:

L=W.contentWindow.document.location.toString();

if(L.indexOf('www.youtube.com')===-1){Message('This macro is for Youtube only!');} else {

L=L.replace('https','http').replace('watch?v=','v/'); W.style.backgroundColor='black';

W.srcdoc='<title>Ad-less Video</title><iframe type="text/html" width="'+(W.offsetWidth-20)+'" height="'+(W.offsetHeight-20)+'" src="'+L+'" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
}

AND WHERE DO I PUT IT? :?

You find an empty SLOT like the image shows you and copy/paste line-for-line as I have it...

Main Menu > Browser Functions > Browser Options > User Script Macros


You need to be spoon-fed and that's what makes you a unsuitable user for the Classic. :?
