The good and the bad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRWare_Iron SRWare Iron is a Chromium-based web browser developed by the German company SRWare.[6] It primarily aims to eliminate usage tracking and other privacy-compromising functionality that the Google Chrome browser includes.[7] While Iron does not provide extra privacy compared to Chromium after proper settings are altered in the latter, it does implement some additional features that distinguish it from Google Chrome. [1][7] Differences from Chrome See also: Google Chrome user tracking The following Google Chrome features are not present in Iron:[12][13][14] RLZ identifier, an encoded string sent together with all queries to Google.[15] Google search access on startup for users with Google as default search.[15][16] Google-hosted error pages when a server is not present. Google Updater automatic installation. DNS pre-fetching,[17] because it could potentially be used by spammers.[18][19][20] Automatic address bar search suggestions. Opt-in sending of both browser usage statistics and crash information to Google. Google Native Client.[21] Added features include: An ad blocker. A user agent switcher. Opt-in blocking of other background communications, such as extension, GPU blacklist, and certificate revocation updates.[22] Increased number of recent page thumbnails shown on the New Tab page. Criticism According to Lifehacker, Iron offers little that is not available by simply configuring Google Chrome's privacy settings.[23] According to others, it is scamware or scareware,[24] since the developers bring up non-existent issues about Chrome to claim Iron solves it.[12] Although SRWare has been claiming "Iron is free and OpenSource",[25] this wasn't true from at least version 6 on until mid 2015, as the links given by them for the source code were hosted in RapidShare and blocked by the uploader.[26][27][28] SRWare Iron "is entirely closed source and has been since at least version 6".[21] According to Lifehacker, as of October 2014 SRWare Iron was "supposedly open source but haven't released their source for years".[23] In 2015, SRWare resumed releasing what they claim is the source code for the browser, although not stating on their page what version the source code is from.[29] Craig ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

One should also consider the effect of the last ice age stopping. There was a tremendous amount of ice over the northern portions of the U.S. This caused the land there to be pushed down and land to the south to be pushed up. With the ice gone, the land in the north is rebounding and the land in the south is subsiding, all from causes totally unrelated to CO2, which is what the alarmists try to say it is. A counter perspective of the Gulf Stream is at http://ocp.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/div/ocp/gs/. That, unfortunately, addresses heat transport to northern European climes and not sea level. I'll ask on my other list to see what they say about sea levels. > One thing we observed in our data from the hurricane, about 6” in a > fairly short time, is a very rapid increased fresh water rain runoff, > and hence very low dissolved oxygen levels, that derives from a runoff > pulse from the developed areas, and runs into the marsh creeks and > river.

Re: [MBZ] OT Today in Seattle!!!
Same sort of idiocy is going on nationwide. The build out of homes in clearly stupid locations is rampant. SWMBA took me for a drive up the side of a foothill (technically mountain) with giant grades, small roadway, large scrub covered lots and homes lacking access to fire plugs. The whole thing reminded me of Laguna Beach/Blue Bird Canyon in the early 70’s where scrubland was being turned into denser and denser homesites. Then a bunch of years later the whole place went up in flames.

[MBZ] Dealership for parts
https://www.mercedespartshub.com/ Seems like a decent option for a dealership, their prices were among the lower end and they are located in Daytona FL so not too far for shipping for me. I sent a query about a different part (the plastic cable bracket on the strut that holds the ABS wire and the brake pad sensor wire) and they responded after two days. Ordered that part from them for a couple bucks each side, we'll see if they gave me the right part number when that arrives. Saturday I ordered a set of new ARB brackets for The White Whale. You may recall that this car seems to be eating these at a rapid rate, I've tried a few aftermarket parts and they don't last but a year or two. So I'll see if the star mark will make them last a bit longer. Today the ARB brackets arrived, maybe this afternoon I'll have some time to install them. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] OT: Google breaks Macs
What? You'd install Chrome on a work machine? A home machine is bad enough. There are SO many browser alternatives out there, why intentionally use spyware? OK - maybe there aren't so many alternative browsers for Macs, I don't know, but anything else is better than Google spyware ...

Re: [MBZ] Costco tires
I believe Rick pointed out that Costco could get at least one Michelin model in the W123 size. And I just noticed that Costco has $110 off on 4 Michelins thru 10/1/2019, making them about $27 per tire more palatable than usual.
