Prox Menu and GreenBrowser

[dave]

No, no toolbars on IE. I got over that bad habit a while ago. The Class ID is D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000. This comes up for sites requiring the latest flash which is some version of Flash 9 (on 98). I have Flash 8 which will probably work for just about everything when a site doesn't run this particular Adobe/Macromedia install script.

Now I probably have some sort of system problem because youtube videos crash IE, Opera and FF if I use flash 9 yet they play fine with flash 8. I use the standard adobe installers and uninstallers and can switch between flash versions quickly. I have heard about some sort of something that may stay on the system despite using the standard uninstallers. I've yet to research that and meanwhile I've learned quite a bit about proxo and script blocking while wrestling with this problem. I've learned how to use Proxo to block this for IE. The problem only occurs in IE because of the activex.

I have come up with a work-around that I can use with Sidki's set that blocks objects by this particular Class ID and is activated by a list. This is a result of modifying a number of filters created by Sidki, Kye-U, Grypen and Scott. What I have now is a modification of a Grypen filter - 'Disable: Objects {8.e.js}'. I've set it up with a list and it works pretty well. When I come to a site where the activex install prompt appears, I add it to the list and the prompt disappears but the page will not fully load unless I enable flash on the IncludeExclude-U/Exceptions-U list. Then the page will load and what is more embedded youtubes will play despite the install Class ID being blocked.

This is one of the reasons I like GreenBrowser and why I disabled activex. Now that I've found NotTroubleMe all I will have to do with that browser is enable flash on the pages that won't fully load.
