A couple days ago I noticed a directory in my Application Data directory. I can't remember the original name now since I've renamed it so many times, but it had something to do with some kind of CD copy protection crap. When I try to delete the directory I get the error in the following error:
The error is the same regardless of the name of the directory (which is something normal and human readable like "delete_this"). The directory also contains a subdirectory that exhibits the same behavior (I can rename it but I get the same error when trying to delete it).
Any ideas would be appreciated...
I'm running Win XP Pro SP2 with all the latest updates.
Apparently a single Reddit user posted a bunch of made up stuff about it being spyware and Steam users started review bombing it like mindless sheep. People have read the actual updated EULA and said that there's nothing notably different in it and nothing pointing to it being spyware. (replied to wrong post)
These gains are probably moot though if you use a Gecko based browser that can support adblocking on a much deeper level than Manifest V3 limits you to. The speed benefits from excellent blocking of careless ad networks are just ridiculous and instantly felt.
While these updates may improve loading performance by a few percents after a lot of hard engineering work, blocking ads on a deep level ahead of even loading them can instead easily cut several megabytes in one go.
