Start.Me Customization Not Working
Posted: 2017-02-14, 15:17
Hello again guys, I got a lovely swift awnser yesterday and am hoping for the same today with a new issue:
I updated to 27.1 yesterday; of a sudden my Start.Me has "lost" its customization!
I had it nice and "blank", none of the widgets, and used Ublock's element hider to block other stuff, and loved it.
TODAY...oh my Gawd...it is coming up "you must create an account/login wiith your social media" etc etc (I use no social media and actually loathe it)
WTH I hate this visual assault...
I could NOT get past the "you must login/create account". Had to go another route to even get to Start.Me without that coming up; then it would not allow me to remove ANY of those awful widgets.
I had NO problem doing so before (on same system/OS etc {Linux Mint 18.1}) despite NOT creating an account. Now it is strongarming me into creating an account just to get beyond that visually aggressive page!
This is killing me, I am such a minimalist and I loved my pretty homepage with just the "log cabin" scene.
I immediately changed my homepage to a blank one so I can avoid this new start.me
Help? Thanks....
(if this is not considered a Linux specific issue, Mods, please move thread)
EDIT:
just updated to 27.1 on another machine (also w/Mint 18.1) and did NOT encounter this issue; start.me stayed as I had it
BUT
I tried on the machine with the issue, with Ublock Origin/element hider disabled and I WAS able to get it back how it was (widgets deleted etc)
Can't get Gmelius to work though and am hesitant to keep starting threads...can't find any threads on Gmelius for Pale Moon on Linux...anyone have a clue?
