[Firefox 4 rc1 ridiculously slow cache cleaning]

Confirmed problem.

 

I do the same things I used to do with FF 3. Cleaning FF 4 takes half an hour or more!

 

FF and CC settings are the same they were before.

[New search engine.]

Click this image a few times to get the normal size and you'll see. By the way, I have "Filtered Search" turned off (perhaps that makes a difference).

 

If this is normal, then you can wave your privacy goodbye with Yauba.

 

 

[New search engine.]

I noticed something odd, in combination with FF Adblock plus.

 

- Searched for: cry me a river

- Opened the Adblock window (the "blockable" links)

- This link was visible in that window: http://images-partners-tbn.google.com/imag...-me-a-river.jpg

- As soon as I clicked that link (in Adblock), the Yauba page was modified, i.e. at first the image was not shown, but after clicking the link it was.

 

This seems to be a direct link to Google. Why was it "hidden" at first? And what good is a Privacy Safe search engine when\if Google is involved like this?

[not enough space?]

It's good to hear that. Thank you very much.

[New search engine.]

I'd like to have an option for enabling clustering. There are far too many results in the "Internet Sites" section that show multiple links for a single website (where sometimes\often the second result is irrelevant or superfluous).

[not enough space?]

Thanks for the info.

Quote from yauba:"While we unfortunately cannot and do not control the privacy policies of external sites or third party advertisers on Yauba, we encourage you to read through their privacy policies very carefully, and (should you feel uncomfortable with their specific practices) to monitor your cookies or configure your browser to block all third-party cookies in addition to visiting those sites through Yauba's anonymiser."

 

 

 

So, even without clicking links to (Youtube) videos, images, myspace stuff, etcetera, there is no real anonymity\privacy? Those previews come straight from the source and as you are using third party services to present those results as well... where is the privacy? How much information do those "external sources" get from you (IP address, search term and things like that)?

 

You may not store anything, but Google and co. certainly will store anything they can get their hands on.

[not enough space?]

Thanks for the confirmation. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Correction: the error message claims there is not enough space on the disk. Not free space.

[not enough space?]

When Defragler is set to move large files to the end of the disk, the defragmentation process stops at some point with an error message: not enough free space on the disk.

 

This happens with the C and the D drive. D has 122 GB of free space...

[New search engine.]

So, it is privacy you want? How about these search engines (some are "country or language related", so probably of limited use to some of you)?

[renaming video files]

It appears the problem does not only occur with video files. The following screenshot of DataRecovery shows what can be "seen" after running CC. Apparently audio files are not perfectly renamed (to ZZZ.ZZZ) either.

 

Still partially visible; mp3 and flv files.

 

 

 

 

 

off topic: what about modifying the file size as well, like some other cleaners do?

[renaming video files]

I always use the "overwite once" (or whatever overwriting a single time is called in the english language file) option.

[renaming video files]

i think that the user means that CC secure deletion of the recycler contents doesn't rename all of the files, not that he or she wants to rename them whilst they're in the recycler.

 

I don't know what actions CC takes when it securely deletes the recycler contents (and I don't think that Piriform are going to tell me), whether it can access and modify the recycler contents directly, or whether it has to do something entirely more messy. How does it manipulate Info2? A puzzle indeed.

 

 

 

Yes, that's what I meant.

 

Although secure deletion "destroys" the files (as far as I can tell), renaming shredded video files in the recycle bin (only videos?) doesn't always work perfectly, i.e. renaming is incomplete.

[renaming video files]

Renaming of video files in the recycle bin doesn't (always?) work properly. Normally renamed files should look something like "zzzz.zzz", but that's not the case for video files (I have noticed this many times).

 

At the moment DataRecovery can see these file names (these are not the original names):

Dc26.avi

Dc25.wmv

Dc77.flv

 

 

There were many more video files in the recycle bin. That means renaming videos works correctly, but not always.

[delete filetypes in a folder and all it subfolders]

I like to delete all files with extension .~pas

in a map that has submaps.

as I have seen in this forum this could be done by changing the ini file to look

like this:

 

D:/map/*.~pas|RECURSE

 

But it seems that there is no cleaning in the submaps.

 

please advice me.

 

 

Similar problem here.

 

Odly enough the RECURSE feature works for the folder D:\software for me (subfolders scanned and cleaned), but not (for example) for the Windows folder or for Program Files. As there is nothing that I\the user can change, is this a Windows problem or a CC bug?

[FF cookies]

After running CC, all cookies (except the ones that are to be ignored) are gone when checking by using the FF menu option, so everything seems to be all right. But for some reason there are still traces in the file cookies.sqlite. That file is bigger than it was before and (some of the?) visited websites are still in it, and can be seen. Restarting and closing FF does not help.

 

What is that all about?
