Thanks for the reply Tihiy! [crossing fingers for a secondary taskbar sooner than later]

and have fun making NS9 working with TLS 1.3! updated files: http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/ns9-nss-update-tls13.7z

Hello everyone, I managed to create a screen capture tool for Windows NT 5.x in the community. It has similar functionality to the one found in Windows 7: Features: Full Screen Capture: The application currently supports capturing the entire screen, allowing users to take comprehensive screenshots of all visible content on their display. Capture Region Selection: Users can select a specific region of the screen to capture, providing flexibility to focus on and share only the desired part of the screen. Future Support Planning: Add Single Window Capture Mode: Implement a feature that allows users to capture the content of a single window. This will enable more focused and precise screen captures, Add Support for All Languages: Expand the application's language support to include all major languages. This will make the application accessible to a wider audience, catering to users from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Source code : https://github.com/Win2000DevCommunity/Capture-tool You can download the compiled 1.0 version from GitHub.

Regarding running Supermium under Windows XP on old, weak hardware, I definitely have to agree. This browser does not work properly there. On the other hand, Thorium does, though. But you have to exactly configure it suitable for your hardware. But TBH, my main browsers under Windows XP still remain New Moon 28 and Serpent.

RGB values always range from 0,0,0 (pure black) to 255,255,255 (pure white). For the active tab: As a proportion, if 255 equals 100%, then 242 equals 94.9%. ie, a 5.1% difference - nowhere near "30%". For the inactive tab: I suppose for establishing a "percent difference", an averaging of RGBs should serve our purpose. For "worst case", we shall compare the non-gradient "your variant" to the dimmest "authentic look". 222+225+230 / 3 = 225.7 166+167+168 / 3 = 167 As a proportion, if 225.7 equals 100%, then 167 equals 74.0%. Okay, I'll give you this one, the difference is 26.0%. But it is a gradient, you have to average that in with the "best case" bright RGB and that one is "different" by only 17.9%. So I would call the inactive tab "different" by only 22% - nowhere near "30%". Granted, that is for the INACTIVE tab only. I strongly suspect that those that "complain" about "brightness", it is the PURE WHITE ACTIVE TAB that they are "complaining" about.

@Anbima and @w2k4eva! Any in-depth consideration of certificate issues in 360Chrome are browser-specific issues and are actually rather off-topic here. In any case, this here is not a 360Chrome browser thread. Such issues should be discussed in one of the countless Arctifoxie 360Chrome threads. And just for clarification, this has happened several times there in the past, without any real solutions. 360Chrome 13.x had problems with certain sites and their certificates from the very first. This will never be solved as this ported browser has not been developed further for years. The only way to solve certificate problems in these browser versions is to use ProxHTTPSProxy. On some problematic sites, the Windows 2000 compatibility mode also helps to show the padlock and green, secure HTTPS connection under Windiws XP. I have tested all this myself, and it works. Or use a more modern Chrome browser in Windows XP as, for example, Thorium which does not show such issues!

Chromium just tends to be the most popular for some reason. Security vulnerabilities are popping up all the time in it. Regarding functional issues, more people using it, more combinations of things they click, more whining about banal things etc.

Agreed, same here. That is to say, on my XP, there is ZERO reason to run either in my Win10 systems. Perhaps an "aero" or "glass" or "transparency" effect that XP would IGNORE? re: "30% brighter" All I can say is "don't care" - and that is 100% honesty. Supermium crashes my XP - and again, zero reason to run in my Win10. Citing "30%" does reveal BIAS - that is not a 30% difference. The "authentic look" inactive tabs technically have a gradient color whereas all other tabs do not have a gradient. But sure, out of curiosity, and being a three-day weekend, sure, I'll find a better "percentage" than throwing out a biased "30%" plucked-from-someone's-butt percentage. One minute... I'll report back...

On XP, Supermium looks exactly the same brightness as Thorium and 360Chrome for me, FWIW.

There was a suggestion in this thread that freeing memory might be improved if one closes whole window. Got Pale Moon to consume little over 4 GB yesterday, having it open throughout the day and browsing as usual + a bit of GitHub, the site that is notoriously problematic on UXP browsers. In the end, I opened an empty window and closed the old window. The amount of freed memory after forcing it with Minimize memory usage button on about:memory page was negligible. my set of enabled extensions does cause a noticeable slowdown in browser startup time, but I don't recall them ever having other noticeable bad side effects. I got curious about --disable-jemalloc build option as it was brought up in one discussion on PM forum, so built the browser with it, will see how it works on Raspberry then. I know one Windows user reported a crash inspecting element on a certain site with such build that didn't occur otherwise. Maybe testing that way so it uses operating system's memory allocator would be an easier step towards finding some subtle bugs in the code. Apparently it was decided jemalloc was a better option back in XP days, might still be on XP, but the rest, who knows.

No, KeePass family of programs are about having a local database, KeePassXC has an option to add an additional factor to protect the database in form of hardware YubiKey, support for it was disabled as well in the new default minimal package. I know one online function has to do with retrieving websites' favicons, I don't know offhand if there's more functions that connect to the internet, but all these should be exclusively triggered by the user, not on its own.

Well I got rid of them all (including the OS ones) and my XP is still going strong, so I don't really think there's any adverse effect in getting rid of them.

Sucks because you need to "register".

I wrote I tried the programme on a clean, new OS install. There's nothing on it, simply nothing, except the OS components themselves.

If possible please argue your choices, which may include multiple answers. Thank you. P.S. Firefox is also working on AI. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/here-s-what-we-re-working-on-in-firefox/td-p/57694

There are a number of ways in which those counters are entwined with the work of core apps of an all including OS (office suite, internet explorer and media player, games, you name it). Also on checking registry tweaks, booting arrangements, overclocking and such. So I concur with @jaclaz in not closing them all. I will instead go counter by counter and see what affects the behavior of a still effective OS, for desktop, (but increasingly no for internet, expert office suite, and python reliant applications). The surplus fun some of us get just for the heck of it. Hell! I own it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRfoIyx8KfU

Hello guys. I have error in two last version 5.34/5.35, and in 5.30 havent. When start create image mounted from vmware. How to fix this to use last version?

Not from my experience, I agree with Klemper, I once had Win7 updated itself, even with the update service unchecked via the system configuration! The only way is to prevent it from starting via services. (choose disabled at startup). Startup type = disabled.

Wait, what?!!? Someone stored their passwords in the cloud?

Oh, and just noticed EtwRTNT Kernel Logger.etl is pretty much intact and the log file has grown to approx. 10mb, all after I ran the programme on a new OS installation.

jaclaz, unfortunately the programme doesn't disable SCM logger, ideas?

Finally, someone posted as issue. Supermium is 30% brighter than the usual chrome, look at the first screenshot. @NotHereToPlayGames, I don't know what you were measuring with that RGB software, it's seen to the naked eye. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/627

it will still check for updates anyway
