@Cerberus Of course. Thanks to your prayers.

I need 2k more to become a "trusted user" of ELU!

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I hope you have fun on Sunday then.

@DavidWallace Like Lois Lane!

Kris calls Barrie his "old friend" in the comments. I wonder if he meant in real life.

@DavidWallace Ah, that is another possibility!

I don't visit meta to see all the various site "policies" now. And different people have different opinions and judgements too. So I just answer or comment according to my gut feelings.

I see the purpose of such meta posts as raising awareness of such issues, that's all.

@DavidWallace Would you say Kris' or Kris's?

Guides tell me both are possible. It depends on how you want to pronounce it.

@mahnax Boo!

I just realized that maybe Carlo is Lewis Carroll.

So it turns out that I can set google chrome to always launch in incognito mode and always authorize plugins by using the flags --incognito and --always-authorize-plugins. Maybe I will switch to it.

@DavidWallace Good night!

The problem is that using incognito mode disables plugins but using both flags solves the problem. QED.

@Cerberus You mean my QED?

@Cerberus I mean something like "case closed" or "problem solved".

Of course I know it really means "as was to be demonstrated".

Yes. To add some vigour to it.

You must imagine me banging the table as I say QED.

Wait. Do you see "enable desktop notification" on the bottom right?

I think it is a new chat feature.

Oh maybe it is my incognito mode, but I doubt it.

I never saw it in Firefox.

It's after the last starred message on the star wall.

Yes, right here where you and I are.

In this room, right now.

So do you think Lewis is Carlo? I have a feeling it is so.

Maybe that is why Lewis has been suspended for rule violations.

I saw he was at rep 1 earlier on.

Carlo has also been suspended to cool down. Maybe he created another account then.

I don't know, maybe some comments were overboard.

I just came to say that the google chrome incognito mode is not incognito at all. It still saves history. Although it does not save sites you type into the address bar, it still saves those links you click on. Major flaw!

Maybe I will email them to tell them. This is very disappointing...

Did I miss something obvious here?

Hey, it works now again. Maybe that was another one of the random computer errors. I remember I did close all chrome windows, hmm. But I'm glad it works again.

@Cerberus Well, you still can navigate back to the pages you have visited. But now it does not show those pages under the history page even though they still show up when you click and hold on the back button. Of course after closing nothing shows anymore. But the error just now was that they showed even after closing all windows.

This is getting complicated!

Sometimes these random computer errors make me feel like someone has hacked into my system!

@Cerberus Well, it seems OK now. Maybe it was an error on my part somewhere.

Ah I think the "enable desktop notification" is a chrome thing. I see it in my gmail too.

This question is interesting. I was trying to think of an example and gedgar finally came up with it so Christi's answer is a little incomplete.

OK I declare I will switch to chrome from FF. QED.

I have figured out why the history was saved in incognito mode just now.

When I open chrome in incognito mode and go to settings, then type an address into the address bar from the settings page, it goes to non-incognito mode. This solves the mystery.

Also, I discovered that even when we go to about:plugins and allow always a particular plugin, the browser still asks for permission so one needs to use the --always-authorize-plugins flag still.

There there, google should pay me a million bucks for discovering these two bugs!

I also made the stunning discovery that the gnash plugin actually works in place of flash, at least for a couple of videos. We'll see.

@Mahnax Hello! See my three discoveries above.

@Mahnax OK enjoy!
