  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

Hi everyone.
Can anyone shed some light on this please. Do I still need https Everywhere when using Firefox 93.0?
I have been using Firefox since I owned a computer. For the past decade I have been using HTTPS Everywhere from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. However, since the release of FF 93.0, Firefox itself upgrades http to https connections where available. Reading Mozilla's documentation it is still unclear if FF upgrades ALL connections to https, meaning third-party cookies and content also. Https Everywhere does upgrade everything coming to my computer whereas I cannot determine if FF does?
 
I don't think that extension has been useful for a while now. Firefox has an integrated "HTTPS Only" mode since version 83.0. Connection will fail if the site doesn't support HTTPS, but you are given the option to add exceptions as needed.
