I've used both plugins (independently of each other) off and on the last year or so and I'm trying to understand the differences between them; specifically how "scopes" work. In Policeman, there are a number of sites under Origin. I have the impression that if site A loads site Y, site B loads site Y, and site Y loads site Z, if I configure rules for site Y about site Z they apply when sites A and B load site Y. In uMatrix the blue box specifies scope, which appears to be global, site.com, speci...

Hard Drive checking in Windows reports a lot of unnecessary info, requiring that you read through it the chkdsk report, etc. Also chkdsk can't fix problems on an in-use files (like the Windows drive). It seems like a little thing, but a non-technical user can't understand ChkDsk results and it takes even a technical user a minute to read through the report for each hard drive. Is there a tool or built in service which will: Automatically check all drives for errors Report a simple "no problem" o...

I am creating a large tar archive and I would like to create the checksum of the archive too. I could achieve it like this: $ tar cfz archive.tar.gz files $ sha256sum archive.tar.gz > archive.tar.gz.sha256sum But the archive file is huge and on slow media, so I'd prefer not to have to read it all in again after writing it out. Can I build a pipeline that will hash the file as it writes it? I thought maybe I could do this with the tee utility, but that only writes to a file, not to the stan...

In Windows, whether Outlook:edit-email or Word, Let's say my paragraph has the word customr, where customr is the name of a variable in an app, that I am using Word to document, or using Outlook to communicate its issues. So, I selected customr with my mouse, then right-click on the selection, hoping to copy the text. But, no, the copy context-menu does not come up. Instead, the spellcheck menu comes up suggesting that I correct the text customr. How can I persuade Word or Outlook to let me get ...

Firefox 50's release notes: Emoji for everyone! Firefox will use built-in Emoji on operating systems without native Emoji fonts (Windows 8.0 and lower and Linux) So I'm on Windows 7 and I absolutely dislike colored emoji for how much distracting they are. There is no font file called "EmojiOne Mozilla" to delete from Windows' fonts folder, unfortunately. And there is no relevant option in about:config list I could find. How do I disable colored emoticons? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Short answer: It's a little more complicated than a simple "yes" or "no". But having Ghostery definitely helps. Long answer: Google does a lot of tracking. Some of them cannot be stopped by anything short of not visiting it, because the tracking is based on IP address. There are people who do opt not to visit Google at all and use DuckDuckGo instead. There is another category of tracking that is done independent of your login cookie, so as to track you regardless of whether you are logged in or ...

I am using a Firefox Portable version and I am wondering how can I create multiple profiles? I used pathToFirefoxPortable.exe -CreateProfile profile, which start the firefox, but I don't think it created a profile for me. Any idea how can I achieve this? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have the IP Country Domain Flag addon installed on Chrome and the Flagfox addon installed on Firefox. Both are meant to report where the IP address of a domain name is hosted. I understand that a single domain may have more than one IP address. But when I go to Wikipedia on Chrome, IP Country Domain Flag says that the server is located in the Netherlands, whereas if I visit Wikipedia on Firefox, it reports the server being in the US. Why does this happen when I am using different browsers? By...

Clearing cookies does not prevent Craigslist from tracking certain actions, not using cookies, and I'm trying to figure out what technique is being used. You can follow the following steps to see what I mean: Go to Craigslist.org and click one of the categories. This will display a list of ads. Hide an ad by clicking the X to the right of the ad (or under the ad in gallery view) and notice that on the top of the page, the count increments next to the red "X". for example, next to the red X on...

After the outage I did not start the browser yet. I hope there is something I can do before that to retrieve the info I lost. lost about 20 tabs. Anything I can do? ...

Short answer: Sorry, no. All you can do is to edit the task bar settings and disable combining windows. Long answer: The app window combining algorithm and Firefox's multitasking mechanism really leave you without much of an option. Windows groups apps based on a window ID. (I've forgotten the actual name.) So, it is possible for one process (say Firefox.exe) generate different window IDs. In fact, explorer.exe does that; that's why normal Explorer windows and Control Panel do not merge. Firefox...

Can I use "Check Point" FTP Proxy Authentication format in WinSCP or SmartFTP? Basically it's the format like below: USER %u@%s@%h PASS %p@%w This format is supported in FileZilla. But I need some feature not inside FileZilla, so I have to work with WinSCP or SmartFTP. Any thought would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I've installed some useful Firefox addons, like "stylish", which make pages darker so my monitor isn't so blinding at night. The problem is that Firefox tus blinding white as the page is loading. It only shows the pages' style or the addons' style when the page is loaded, which can be a while sometimes. How do I get the default background color to be black? I already tried setting the "Background Color" under "Content" -> "Colors" (as shown below). It either doesn't do anything, or it makes a...

In the below table each row shows different behaviour. For eg: In the first row for the columns "pool1" the values are decresing and same behaviour for "pool2" and "pool3" columns. In the second row the values first increase and then decresing (5.15761<27.6797>12.3756). Same for other pools too. Some are increasing, some are decreasing, some increase and then decrease, some decrease and then increase. I have many rows in my spreadsheet. How can I check that each behaviour in excel? And bas...

Using the developer tools in Firefox one can see detailed information about requests to and responses from the webserver (HTTP header and content, timing information, status codes and so on). I wonder if there's a possibility to also see similar request loggings for the DNS resolving somewhere that are done before the HTTP protocol even takes over? Or is this handled outside the browser (by some operating system component for example)? Let's block ads! بخوانید...
