Where to download madVR?
These days i use MPCVR, since it's much simpler and still does all the important stuff that madVR does.
-
In recent update, Firefox finally added support for the Nvidia Video Super Resolution, catching up to other chromium web browsers and software
This fork is no longer needed. The original MPC Video Renderer has been updated to support NVIDIA Super Resolution.

Looking for PC video player that can skip back/forward by 5 seconds or less with just 1 click?
Don't forget https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases So you can play HDR on SDR displays without it looking shitty.
-
NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution is now supported by VLC media player - VideoCardz.com
It looks like this fork isn't needed anymore. The original MPC VideoRenderer by Aleksoid1978 now supports Super Resolution too: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases

Nvidia GeForce 531.18 WHQL graphics driver
Now let's hope video player devs will look into it too, I asked MPC-BE dev about it here a few weeks ago, seems the way they render with ID3D11VideoContext should let it work, hopefully now drivers are out they might look into it more: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/77
-
Chrome 110 brings NVIDIA RTX Super Resolution support - VideoCardz.com
(I've asked MPC-BE devs about looking into it but seems they don't have any RTX hardware, and not sure how interested they are... hopefully an RTX owner can try looking into adding it sometime: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/77)
-
Google Chrome 110 released with RTX Video Super Resolution enabled by default
For what it's worth I asked MPC-BE devs about adding it here: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/77

RIP 4090
I struggle finding/playing even 10bit content, it's rare I get to use all 10bits. No free video players output it out of the box AFAIK and I was unsuccessful configuring MadVR/AviSynth scripts & filters. After banging my head against the wall I eventually found this MPC-HC plugin https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases. One of the features it provides is mapping 10bit HDR to 10bit SDR, as I don't have an HDR monitor, but damn do movies look so much better.
-
is it true if I use the Kodi windows app instead of mpc be I'll be able to see hdr on my pc? I don't have a PC powerful enough to use mad VR
Your best bet to view HDR on a display that doesn't support HDR (with a computer too slow for madVR) is with mpv Or if that doesn't work, then MPC-BE with MPCVR.
-
What does madVR offer in typical use?
Thats the mpc video renderer, it also has good scaling options and covers all the other basics. Yet it can be faster and is much simpler to setup/use, so i always recommend giving it a try and than you can also directly compare it to MadVR.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

What is the safest and best browser to use???
If you're entirely partial to Chromium browsers, use Ungoogled Chrome https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

Mozilla CEO received $6,9m salary in 2022, a $2m increase from 2021, meanwhile Firefox has lost 30m of its userbase since 2020.

any working adBlock for YouTube?
Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium (needs to update uBlock manually) in Incognito window with unchanged vanilla uBlock Origin with lists updated and no other plugins and without YouTube account. Works perfectly. Also FreeTube.
-
Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
Ungoogled Chromium is a Chromium-based browser with Google services stripped out.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.

Installing Chrome extension from raw source code
While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all 'Chromium' based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window's Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.
-
Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.
