Iron (Chrome/Chromium) has problems with Sidki filters

Quote:Exactly where in the IncludeExclude-U list do I add it? I added it at the bottom and Iron is still identifying as Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US)

I put it at the bottom. Make sure you add it to the correct file. SIDKI 2009-02-13 (UPDATE 06-06) uses IncludeExclude-U. SIDKI 2009-05-24 ALPHA 4 uses Exceptions-U.

You may be able to see the current user list's entries at IncludeExclude-U (or Exceptions-U) on http://local.ptron/.pinfo/lists/ . Click on user list's link in the "Name" column.

Do you have more than one line in IncludeExclude-U (or Exceptions-U) that matches www.dslreports.com/ or i.dslr.net/. Sidki's sets use the first matching line. You may need to combine lines.

Quote: i shouldn't need to reboot should I?

I don't think so but your computer's environment is more complicated than mine.

Quote:So, is it the browser string that Proxo is using that makes Fx and Opera believe that I did not upgrade but am instead using an ancient version?

Could be, I have seen warnings from websites due to the useragent header. I don't remember a warning for Opera or Firefox but I haven't upgraded for months and I always download the installer. Also, when installing/updating programs, I may disable or bypass the Proxomitron.
