Hi,
With the November 2025 security update, Microsoft is introducing native support for third-party passkey managers in Windows 11.
I see that you use Bitwarden in FF, which is currently in beta:

Updated for year 2026

- replaced Proton VPN with Mozilla VPN (based on Mullvad) I mainly use it because of the good integration into Firefox
+ added Process Lasso
- removed SafeToOpen in Firefox
+ added a few more details for my system settings

Nothing major.

doesn't Process Lasso have a new name or am I thinking of something else, and I vaguely recall Process Lasso having some relevance with older windows, but not so much with win10 & win11 or is it time for me to drink another cup of coffee

I tried Process Lasso and really liked it. However, I didn’t like the nag screen in the free version and only wanted the BalancePro functionality. I therefore installed CPUBalance free, which does exactly what I need. I have W11, but my computer is not that recent….

CPUBalance

CPUBalance is real-time CPU optimization software containing Process Lasso's famous ProBalance algorithm. This demonstrable technology helps to retain system responsiveness during high CPU loads.

I checked, and it's still called Process Lasso, so I think it's time for another cup of coffee

Hi,just curious.
Why did you remove Safe To Open?
TH.

 

[SeriousHoax]

added Process Lasso

I also saw @rashmi installing it and it apparently had a performance improvement for Vivaldi in an HDD system.
If you notice any positive impact on something after trying for some days, then let us know.

I just don't think that I really need it. I personally think that I can simply rely on NextDNS with Hagezi Ultimate + Asus Ai Protection + Google Safe Browsing in Firefox. After all a great extension in my opinion. Might get it back when I feel like it. Definitely still my go-to web protection extension.

I've been using it for 2 weeks or so and I am enjoying it. It definitely feels like my PC is running snappier when having many tabs open + a game running in the background but in day to day use I barely can feel it as my hardware is good enough for most tasks without any extra "help". Still, I can see it as a good companion for people with older systems.

Thanks y'all, I installed process lasso on my Host hardware and seems nicely solid, I had run it years ago, but had gotten away from it, tempted to buy the Pro version, not expensive, if only to support the bitsum developers... but I should probably use it few weeks first.

How has your experience with Ghostery been so far? And why did you choose it over uBlock Origin? Would you recommend it?

actually now about 6 weeks later, I ran into some issus(s) after installing process lasso on host, where I'm usually running VMware VMs. I cannot say for sure the issue was process lasso, (my notes are not readily available) and might have how cpu was configured for VM vis a vis the host, which I also modified. PL ended up feeling like an app I did not need. (might be great on some systems)...
