Removing LSO's?
A new user of Pale Moon here!
OK I did a bit of browsing regarding add ons that remove LSO's. My conclusion was to go with the Better Privacy extension that used to use in Firefox. But I cant find it in the firefox list of extentions, proably because they've removed it.
So..... what do people recommend to remove LSO's then?
Thanks

Re: Removing LSO's?
Here it is. Download the "d40f5e7b-d2cf-4856-b441-cc613eeffbe3.xpi" it is the same as I downloaded from AMO.

It depends on what you define as "soon".John connor wrote:Isn't Flash going into retirement soon?
Re: Removing LSO's?
Even if Adobe stops updating it, there is literally a mountain of Flash content out there that people will continue to use -- many very creative projects were made in Flash that can't simply be converted and won't be discarded. So expect to see Flash to be in use way past "soon".

A slight problem though. It downloads and then I get:
Also other options besides BetterPrivacy?BetterPrivacy could not be installed because it is not compatible with Pale Moon 27.6.2

1- Unzip the xpi file and change the min version number in the "install.rdf" file to 27.0 from 49.0 and rezip the file changing the extension from zip to xpi..
2- Use Moon Tester tool to install.
https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/moon-tester-tool/
As far as I know BetterPrivacy is the easiest way to do this since it can be set to automatic not sure of any other options.
You can also chance the name of the xpi to BetterPrivacy-1.77.xpi

It installs OK if you turn off compatibility checking using the addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... atibility/Kate C wrote:BetterPrivacy could not be installed because it is not compatible with Pale Moon 27.6.2
However note that that's not exactly encouraged - though I've never had a problem and Pale Moon will still flag incompatible SDK & WebExtensions extensions.
Forked extensions :
● Add-ons Inspector ● Auto Text Link ● Copy As Plain Text ● Copy Hyperlink Text ● FireFTP button replacement ● gSearch Bar ● Navigation Bar Enhancer ● New Tab Links ● Number Tabs ● Print Preview Button and Keyboard Shortcut 2 ● Scrollbar Search Marker ● Simple Marker ● Tabs To Portfolio ● Update Alert ● Web Developer's Toolbox ● Zap Anything
Hint: If you expect a reply to your PM, allow replies...
Re: Removing LSO's?
I would suggest the pale moon extension cookie exterminator which removes local storage objects.I also remove them manually if its in regard to flash.

Re: Removing LSO's?
Can someone define LSO for those of us who are not sure what this uncommon acronym means?

From our friends at wikipedia:
Here is Ghacks on this subject from 2007 https://www.ghacks.net/2007/05/04/flash-cookies-explained/
Better Privacy deals with Flash Cookies. I have used this extension ever since I first learned about Flash Cookies and the nasty things that they are.
Obviously, LSO = Local Shared ObjectsLocal shared objects, commonly called Flash cookies, are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer. Local shared objects have been used by all versions of Flash Player since version 6.

Then there's the HTLM5 storge and I use Sandboxie to handle that crap. I wrote a tut here on the forum about it. And it's filled under Software on my website.

Re: Removing LSO's?
I have used SDC since before I found Pale Moon. I have ver. 1.68.1 signed. It shows up in my extensions with and orange dot. I hate Flash and by extension, Adobe. I usually have it set to always ask or never run. I am using the final ESR version 18.0.0.382. There are only two options for Flash as far as I am concerned. This ESR version or no Flash at all. The problem is there are still some sites on which I shop where some things will not work without Flash.
I cannot imagine using any software from Adobe. My pdf reader is from Tracker Software. I create any PDF files I might need in Word and then save them as a pdf or export them to a pdf (whichever one I need to do- i do it so rarely I forgot which way). I even have this extension set to kill the basic Flash cookie itself.
