vtoubiana / trackmenot Goto Github PK

Hello,

I was wondering where TMN stores its log. Is there anyway I can change this path?

Thanks.

Was designed like this:

My sense is that no one knows what this means, so wondering if we can add some mouse-over text ?

Should be 'Portuguese', not 'Protuguese'

I was debugging this bug that I found after installing TMN(0.2.3) from chrome store. (It doesn't show the log when I click on show button. I located the error which is that inside TRACKMENOT.Options.showLog(), localStorage["logs-tmn"] is undefined. )

But I could not find the code for Chrome extension anywhere! I mean in the code on master doesn't match with the code for TMN 0.2.3 that I installed from Chrome store. My guess is that the code on master is may be for Firefox TMN.

Anyway, so can you please tell me where I can find the code for that extension?

Should appear to right of options panel, not below.

I think the title says it all. If I was looking to clear a search signal from trackmenot I would easily filter out those queries that come in at a regular frequency. If you were using a random interval (around a set mean interval) it would be much harder.

As described on AMO ...

I installed TrackMeNot, restarted Firefox, and my search engine had changed from DuckDuckGo to Yahoo. I un-installed TrackMeNot, restarted Firefox, and it was still Yahoo. I had to go back into search preferences to change it back to DuckDuckGo.

Please don't add extra spaces in the front and back of search string. True users dont do this. I talk about Chrome extension. For exsample:

Everytime TrackMeNot runs, Firefox's CPU usage goes above 90% and about:performance colo(u)rs TrackMeNot in red and shows TrackMeNot as slowing down the browser (which it does).

How does sending a query to a seach engine take up such a huge amount of CPU resources?

Anyway, this massive CPU usage is a bug.

The following errors (along with tons of debug printing):

console.log: trackmenot: [ERROR] error in doSearch

The variable eng is out of scope after the loop ends.

The function in question is short so allow me to quote (without debug lines):

  function checkForSearchUrl(url) {
        var result = null;
        for (var i = 0; i < engines.length; i++) {
            var eng = engines[i];
            var regex = eng.regexmap;
            result = url.match(regex);
            if (result) {
                break;
            }
        }
        if (!result)
            return null;

        if (result.length !== 4) {
            if (result.length === 6 && eng.id === "google") {
                result.splice(2, 2);
                result.push(eng.id);
                return result;
            }
        }
        result.push(eng.id);
        return result;
    }

Also, there is a typo in the first answer ("via te 'Clear Log' button", should be "via the 'Clear Log' button")

actually its probably easier to just change the icon to have a tan left edge...

On the FAQ page...
http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/faq.html

Question text should match the question it links to (exactly)

1. "I would love to use TrackMeNot; why doesn't it work for languages besides English?"
   Leads to:
   "I would love to use TrackMeNot in my language; is it supported?"

2. "Can you help me understand the new TMN features in version 'X'?"
   Leads to:
   "Can you explain each of TMN's features?"

3. "Does TMN ever simulate click-throughs on links that come up from "fake" searches. If not, why not? ‧Further, couldn't a search engine just look at any searches for which a result is clicked on and know that these are the 'real' searches? "

The TrackMeNot .xpi file for Firefox is not signed, and cannot be installed. This is on FF 50.1.0 on Fedora Linux, but I believe it applies to most current versions of Firefox. For more information, see this link.

This is only the case for the file on the nyu.edu page - installing from the Firefox Add-ons page works fine. Perhaps it would be simpler to link to this from the NYU page?

I use the Chrome extension.
In the Options panel, when I check "Generate queries including keywords monitored by DHS" then click "Apply", the checkbox comes back to unchecked state.

Hi,

I do not see anything about the license (here or on mozilla). Could you specify that please?

Thank you.

FF29/OSX

Is this still the repo for TrackMeNot? There's very little activity here and it's a jpm code-base so I assume it's not the code-base for the Chrome extension?

Also should check burst-mode queries...

I realize that our link is "smart/no-tracking", but FB is still evil... Do we really want to advocate it to people? (Twitter is ok by me, at least for now).. What do you all think? Helen?

Tried adding duckduck go, but failed. (The alert box just prints out '[object Object]'.) Looking at the console: seems like the action is disallowed due to the CSP directive script-src 'self' blob: filesystem: chrome-extension-resource:"

This would be REALLY useful for further development, if even a few people were willing to opt-in and help out...

Might use an interface similar to HTTPS-Everywhere...

What's that?

google chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)
windows 10

FF29, OSX

Not sure what the status of the addon-bar is in FF>=29, but TMN doesn't seem to be using it, and the queries don't make sense in the toolbar.

Seems the direction of newer browsers to eliminate the status toolbar (and of plugins not to use it anymore)

I use the Chrome extension.
The 3 buttons at the top of the Options page ("Help/FAQ*", "Main Site" and "Show Queries") don't work. When clicking on them, nothing happens, except for an error message in the console:

options.html:1 Refused to execute inline event handler because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' blob: filesystem: chrome-extension-resource:". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-...'), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.

Should be 'pushing', not 'pusing'

for some reason placing a rss feed in chinese give errors

I left my browser & TrackMeNot running while I was disconnected, and it changed my query log to nothing but "timed" ... presumably because the RSS polling job kept receiving a "timed-out" message, so "timed" became the only term for searches.

This doesn't seem to happen all the time, but the settings don't seem to stay put. I have configured firefox to delete all my history, except passwords and site preferences, on browser exit. Often when restarting my browser I find TMN to have the default settings and my settings to have been wiped.

The Reddit Enhancement Suite seemed to have a problem with that as well. How are settings stored?

I dont think is this is expected behavior (?)

http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/faq.html#click

Show/Clear Log
The 'Show Log' button allows the user to view a snapshot of TMN's log state (refreshing the browser window will keep this view current); The 'Clear Log' button, will (as expected) clear and re-initialize TMN's log. The 'Show Log' button allows the user to view a snapshot of TMN's log state (refreshing the browser window will keep this view current); The 'Clear Log' button, will (as expected) clear and re-initialize TMN's log.

Enhancement: In 'Options' panel -- either the 'Show Log' button could change to say 'Hide Log' or simply clicking it again would hide the log... At the moment there is no way to re-hide the log after opening it, without closing all the options...
