The advertisings on this forum

[Olli]

Q1. What do you mean with terminal?
Q2. Are you browsing through the web in a terminal, in a command line interface?
Q3. And what do you mean with these woman that somehow pop up?
Q4. And what do you mean with the popup demands you the ads to be "neutral"?

Q1. Terminal = Could be smartphone, digital tablet, computer, etc...
Q2. No But it would be cool, a command line interface would be cool.
Q3. The pictures of the women in the ads in the bottom of pages here, repeated again and again = not normal.

Q3.+ Your (not only Nic) description about ads blocker seems to block 2 things : 1/2 the popup to request the client consent
2/2 the ads which displays naked women or women faces with false desires (which are not popup).

Q4. When you do not consent to give your personal context, this means that the ads must be neutral. The opposite of neutral here = the ads match to a context built, depending of your whole historic on the net (site, mails, preferences validated, etc...)

I must cut off now for any hours, because I work a lot.

Thank you for your patience about my bad grammar.

...the ads which displays naked women or women faces with false desires (which are not popup). ...

I'm sure that our forum administrators would have set age-targeting and content ratings for their ad account. So, such content should not appear on these pages in the first place.

If you're doing Linux, Try the "links" text based browser.

What the heck is wrong with naked women popping up anywhere??!! I normally go out of my way to find that kind of treatment.

I even made a video for you showing how to disable any images on the page. (uBlock Origin)

Hahaha... I can't download your z7 file from the link down below because umatrix is blocking scripts on yandex.ru and I don't trust that I should allow scripts on yandex.ru so I can't review your programs. That's OK. Probably all over my head anyway. I think uBlock is a younger brother to umatrix and far more lenient.

It's not a "younger brother" its a little bit different. see here : https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blo ... AndUMatrix

And by the way uMatrix is very old. Last Update 4 years ago... Maybe you should change

I don't discard anything because it is old. If it works and nothing better, why replace it? That would be silly.

For security considerations, it's never advisable to use outdated software. It's already quite challenging to keep ahead of malware, viruses, and other bad players, but without regular patches and updates, it's simply risky to use unsupported software.

Hooey! Regurgitated scare verbiage designed to keep people paying for more of something they already have. Just plain hooey!
You're probably a strong advocate of "Anti-Virus" crap software too.

I get wanting to stick with what works, but Windows 7 hasn’t received security updates since January 2020. That means serious holes like BlueKeep (RDP wormable RCE), EternalBlue (SMB exploit), unpatched Adobe Type Manager 0-day flaws, and old kernel DLL bugs are just sitting there. Plus, no real TLS 1.3 support. Many modern sites refuse connections, and even TLS 1.2 is often off by default or limited. It’s not hype, it’s known, widely exploited gaps. Staying on Win 7 is like driving with worn brakes, you might be fine until you’re not.

Just use Linux instead if you don't want to pay. And no, you don't need any crappy Antivirus software. They are mostly scam too. The Microsoft Defender is all you need if you go with Windows.

Wow again... I guess when regurgitation occurs everything comes out. Who said anything about Win 7 anyway? This is my PC running Win 11 Pro that came with it. Except mine is a slightly different model, with 2TB drive & i9 processor:

Someone really should comment about Comodo Dragon browser here. That's something I do use. I'll save you the trouble... "bla bla lbla..."

More regurgitation. When Linux becomes the world standard that Windows became long long ago, I'll switch to Linux. Never going to happen though because developers can never settle on any ideas for more than one release, so something gets broken with every release. I am so done with the whole Linux cult. I may never look back. BTW there is no such thing as "Linux" anyway. It's "Linuxes", which is another reason "Linux" can never become a world standard. I can save you more time here too... "Bla bla bla..."

[minimy]

Let's be sensible, logical and practical. I think we should ask Oryaaaa about this.

But just like that, another question suddenly occurs to me. Is the earth flat?

it's not an offense, but in my humble opinion, opinions are like the ass, we all have one.

I say this because this thread was getting very serious.


I hope you laugh a little and don't hold a grudge against me...

Honestly I don't know how I came to argue about Windows 7. Maybe because someone here in the board still uses it. Weird. I was quite sure you wrote something about Windows 7 here. Well, anyway. Sorry about that.

Your opinion about Linux is funny though. Depending on the distribution you chose there's not much that changes with every release except that things are getting better and better. For me Windows got more broken from time to time and so I switched to Linux completely in 2009 and never came back to Windows. I never even tried a Mac in my whole life. I am good with it and I can do much more with it than I was able with Windows. I still love it. And yes, there are some edges and corners, especially with that change from Xorg to Wayland which does not run very smoothly. But besides that. Linux is better than ever.

By the way: Linux already is the world standard if you look into the server world. It's hard to find any other operating systems there.

I used to live and work in the server world (about 30 years of it), and that's why I've become so disgusted with Linuxes <<plural -- there is no such thing as "Linux" (singular; it's totally plural!)
