Prediction service in the browser

[Cyd]

Hello,

is it possible to disable the prediction service (usually used to load pages more quickly) in the browser ? Because when I send requests to Google, I can also see requests to some websites listed in the SERPs ... without of course visiting them.

Thanks.

Try this:

instance.SetBrowserPreference("browser.search.suggest.enabled", false);

Thank you for the code. Unfortunately I get an error :

which means that ZennoLab.CommandCenter.Instance has no definition for SetBrowserPreference and no extension method SetBrowserPreference which accepts a first argument that ZennoLab.CommandCenter.Instance as type has been found.

You have quite old version of zennoposter...
Then change this preference pref("browser.search.suggest.enabled", true); to false in greprefs.js file in ZennoPoster\Progs folder.

instance.SetBrowserPreference("network.http.speculative-parallel-limit", 0);
instance.SetBrowserPreference("browser.send_pings", false);
instance.SetBrowserPreference("browser.send_pings.require_same_host", false);
instance.SetBrowserPreference("network.prefetch-next", false);

instance.SetBrowserPreference("network.http.speculative-parallel-limit", 0);
instance.SetBrowserPreference("browser.send_pings", false);
instance.SetBrowserPreference("browser.send_pings.require_same_host", false);
instance.SetBrowserPreference("network.prefetch-next", false);

Changing preferences via C# code doesn't work for his version.

I am working on the 5.10.0.1. Maybe a quite old you are right. I set browser.search.suggest.enabled to false in the JS file. I haven't find a way yet to verify if it works. But I am running some tests.

I have just bought an upgrade (5.21.1.0), so I should be able to use C# code in a few minutes.

I will let you know.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, but the settings in them should help.

 

[Cyd]

Yes OK. I guess that it does the same.

Thanks guys. Both methods seem to work :
- modification is the greprefs.js file
- C# code with the 5.21 version.
