Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

If you need a Chrome-type privacy-respecting minimum-Google secondary browser, try Ungoogled-Chromium. Check out their Wiki first.

It doesn't auto-update (except perhaps on Linux), so you'll need to subscribe to their RSS feed, or monitor the release page with PM's Update Alert extension (temporary download location for PM30 / for PM 29).

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...

 But on the other hand; maybe that particular browser really is like IE6 old, and they just don't to deal with a lot of user complaints so a browser upgrade is a good recommendation.
In this case the Ice Dragon I had was the newest version but I suspect there is a line (or two..or more) of outdated code that spurns the notification of some sites to update even if said browser is the most current.
I admire the people who have the tenacity to tackle the sea of coding 'cuz it would give me a migraine just looking at at the endless abyss of text.
