hiw can U 1 click clear all cookies . way to long to do 1 at a time

U/I

oneforall2: ctrl+shift+delete should be usable for that, I think. Not just "1 click", but still able to delete all cookies (just make sure you select *only* cookies; you can also change the defaults for that dialog in edit->preferences->privacy & security ->private data, under "manually"

oneforall2: (the dialog is also accessible via tools->clear private data, but ctrl+shift+delete is probably faster if you're going to do that a lot)

oneforall2: Or, if this still works: chrome://communicator/content/permissions/cookieViewer.xul

for truly one-click, it might be worth checking, say, if prefbar has any button for that

njsg cookie viewer still works. Fo r privacy I usually blow away Cookies and Offline Website Data during shutdown

or in between if I feel to it

Anyone has a connection problem with the news server aioe.org lately?

World: unreachable for me here, at least from navigator, both the news server and the web site

nothing (as far as I've checked) in aioe.news.helpdesk other than a confirmation of the issue and also somebody saying the "backup server" at news.aioe.org was working 17 hours ago. Oh, and a SeaMonkey support thread too :-D

I receive "connection refused" error for the last few days from news.aioe.org.

World: if you need an alternative while aioe does not come back, wiki.mozilla.org/User:Njsg/News_providers has two (yeah, I should try to expand that list...)

first post about it being unreachable is from 20230124T172830, so almost two days ago

Nice. I've switched to neodome.

tomman: I don;t understand your complaint that flshblock is no longer blocking your videos. It is not called videoblock it is flashblock it only blocks falsh no one uses flash for videos anymore so dont expect it to block videos.

as far as I know the latest versions could also block media. Never used it after uBlock got better.

well then should not be called flashblock

WG9s_ it is dead anyway. Would need a full rewrite for webext and with MV3 it is probably no longer possible anyway. And seems the author will nerver update anything for classic extensions again. Glad that NoScript still is downloadable but starts to show its age too.

WG9s_: indeed Flashblock's main purpose is largely irrelevant these days, but it's still useful for dealing with the pest that HTML5 video has become, and not everybody wants to install a full-fat adblocking solution

(in my case, with a PiHole-esque approach it's Good Enough™, so this is why Flashblock still has value)

but I agree that a rewrite would be in order, or at least taking it and removing the Flash-specific bits

tomman: my point is that if is blocking html5 video then it should not be called flashblock

Makes sense, but there is an ironic twist: in the late days of Flash, what was its main usage? Delivering videos :D

tomman does NoScirpt not block media tags too?

dunno, I don't use NoScript here either

if a website abuses JS, it's a website I'm not visiting ever again

well without NoScript and uBlock I would feel very vunarable with all the junk js out in the wild.

maybe by the day the native JS CPU silicon appears in the market, that day scriptblockers will be rendered permanently useless :/

back to Flashblock: maybe I should finally bite the bullet and do some remodeling of the addon: I've noticed some rendering issues with the checkboxes on the settings dialog as of 2.53.15

tomman: but if the idea is it should be doing videoblock then it should be called videoblock

tomman: the death of flash was when apple blocked flash from bieng installed on iphones. kind of a draconian thing. if there were issues then work to fix them but apple thinks they are gods. Ansyway back then RIM had an add for bleckberry phones becuase they still supported flash with one of my all time favorite musical groups. youtube.com/watch?v=LfmrHTdXgK4
