Hey guys,
I'll start this thread so that you may report if you encounter any errors while using this site.

Error code, the time when it happened, what page were you viewing and other similar details are always helpful.
Hey folks, the previous thread "what album are you listening to" was closed, but I felt like starting one up again with a few brief rule changes so it won't happen again. You can share one song or one album per post with a video or direct playable other share, unlike before where sometimes people would post like 10 videos in one post. If the video thumbnail image has nudity, or any kind of graphic material such as drug use, just find another video with a different image. Anyways, let me...

Hey Guys,
Here is the first VoodooShield 7.0 beta. The new Contextual Engine is almost 100% complete, but there will be a few blocks, so please let me know if you experience any unwanted blocks. Overall you should see a significant reduction in blocks, but I am certain that I am missing a few things, and we simply won’t know what they are until VS is ran on other systems with different software.
Once the Contextual Engine is 100%, I will update DefenderUI Pro to have the exact same...

A few things regarding the video:
1). If you just want the setup, that starts at 6:20
2). I left the HIPS disabled throughout the video. Although having it enabled would have alerted us to the threat in the Firewall Security configuration part, as I can think of no valid reason not to switch to proactive Security Config I did not want to belabor this point.
3). I did not elaborate on the various Sandbox levels, nor the differences in Safe vs Custom Firewall modes since these topics have...

I tested the most widely used browsers and found that Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi were my top three. I like all of them, but I'm not sure which one to use on a daily basis. I would appreciate it if you could let me know which of the three browsers I mentioned is your favorite and why.
Thank you all in advance.

Okay, I know you could run Mv2 extensions longer with flags and policy tweaks and tricks, but I am interested how this restriction impacted your favourite extension, a few examples:
AdGuard Mv3 seems to do the same as AsGuard Mv2 (at least for my use cases), same applies to Privacy Badger and Ghostery.
NoScript Mv3 seems to do the same as old Mv2 Noscript (and even more it now also filters WebAssembly)

Almost two years ago, the Norwegian browser firm Opera ripped out the guts of its product and adopted the more standard WebKit and Chromium technologies, essentially making it more like rivals Chrome and Safari. But it wasn’t just Opera’s innards that changed; the browser also became more streamlined and perhaps less… geeky.
Many Opera fans were deeply displeased at the loss of what they saw as key differentiating functionality. So now Jon von Tetzchner, the man who founded Opera and who...

Ungoogled Chromium is actually a Chromium spin-off that offers you all of Chromium's capabilities but removes integration with Google services, thus providing you with a browser that is highly transparent in terms of privacy and control.
Even if you don't plan on associating a Google account with your Chromium browser, the browser still shelters a number of background services or features that communicate with Google servers. This program plans on reducing the...

Microsoft is expected to roll out Windows 10 May 2020 Update soon. Earlier this month, the company updated its Driver Shiproom Schedule to reserve 26th, 27th, and 28th May 2020 for Feature updates. The Driver Shiproom Schedule is used by OEMs to ensure they don't release driver updates a day before or after feature updates and Patch Tuesday updates to avoid any possible conflicts.
Now, Microsoft has published the Windows 10 May 2020 Update release information and resolved issues pages (via...
Pick one program that you think provides the best protection if it was the only one you could use.
For me I think either Appguard or Voodoo Shield would be pretty much bullet proof.

2014 was a wonderful year where our company did have brilliant moments and where we did develop some great software.

Not to mention the massive amount of positive feedback from all of you (Thanks for that).

When Windows 11 was leaked, I was hoping we would see a usable Defender UI, but unfortunately it had not changed a bit. Defender is great under the hood but it is incredibly frustrating to use. It is also certainly not bulletproof and Redmond’s idea of zero trust is much different from mine, but at least it is something to work from.
So I decided to build a fully functional Defender UI. Here are some preliminary screenshots, a beta version will be really in a...
