  1. Past hour
  2. Perhaps win32 will be able to keep Manifest V2 in Supermium, it should land in Thorium as well. My remark about choice and apathy was meant to be more general, more broad, not limited to web browsers or even computers. I made a bit ranty / rude post a while back on PM forum about them switching 64-bit builds to require AVX (1) instruction set, they deleted it. Still wonder where it makes significant difference compared to SSE2 build. I've been using contributed AVX2 build on work laptop for a while, but I'm not sure I'm detecting much regarding performance. What little I did turned out to be more related to clean session vs dirty session. I think only clever manual coding could speed it up significantly...maybe, Mozilla couldn't do it with keeping all the cruft for extensibility. This whole thing reminds me of one aspect in gaming world, (G)ZDoom source port of Doom, original game was released in 1993 and it's famous for being ported to all sorts of devices that at least have something resembling a CPU. I've read on VOGONS forum you may be able to run Doom Eternal from 2020 more smoothly on 2013 hardware than some mods on GZDoom specifically, some due to bad coding of mods, some due to all the cruft in the engine that's there to support competing standards for extending game logic. And even having expensive computer won't help with performance much. Kinda similar with Pale Moon, you can't sell that browser to an average individual, it's almost universally perceived as very slow. I'm somewhat used to it, but I also use other browsers, depending on the mood. Though I tried disabling 3 of 4 cores on my CPU recently and tried browsing on XP with Serpent, but this is where my patience ends, couldn't live with that.

  4. A major progress -" involuntary connections to Google services, which will be pared back in response to users' complaints." https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/600
  5. Someone, that much invested into security, wouldn't even visit Xitter in the first place.
  6. Another standalone, but most probably related issue to report. I sometimes get spacer.png instead of embedded or attached pictures, the same as D.Draker already reported, but for me it happens on a rare occasion.
  7. BTW, I had encountered 403 error with embedded links for the first time. All started acting up recently.
  8. Today
  9. The issue is now with me, also. I tried older chrome, all the same. Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong saving.
  10. Shouldn't they be identified by the codec in the browser? HEVC - V_MPEGH, H264 - V-MPEG4, respectively. I mean, AVC is format, not codec. Or no?
  11. 1. It is not Nvidia specific behaviour. BIOSes of old ATI cards setup 1280*1024 on DVI output for example no matter what is native resolution of monitor (if it is above or equal to 1280*1024, of course) and requested video mode. 2. Only patch BIOS or direct program GPU.
  12. I have saved Partition Assistant 10.1.0.0 which I know works fine under XP and installer was obtained under XP before the dropped support. https://www.mediafire.com/file/w4s3a5eynl4nsu5/PartitionAssistant-all.exe/file Can be installed silently with /silent switch P.S. Full version require just correct cfg.ini in installation directory.
  13. Correct, compact characterisation. It looks like the browser world is about to shrink a little. At least for me. Chrome 127 is definitely the end for me. A browser like that has to be avoided. And there seem to be many users who feel the same way. The reason for this is, of course, manifest 3 and the associated restrictions on extensions, which are particularly tragic for content blockers like uBlock Origin. Personally, I'm happy to use New Moon 28, Serpent and Mypal 68 and will continue to do so for as long as possible.
  14. I agree. I really don't know where to draw the line. Not trying to take both sides, lol I do feel that "bringing negativity" from OTHER forums onto this forum only EXTENDS that negativity "another generation", so to speak. BROADENS the diameter of negativity. Folks that would have otherwise NEVER known about the negativity, now know about the negativity - just which "side" did that really HELP? But of course, TECHNICAL ISSUES should be SHARED. But again, just which "side" is BENEFITED from sharing the types of negativities that if it were self-contained all within MSFN, our admins would point the negative poster or PM "the baited" instructions how to use the "ignore feature".
  15. And you wonder why are there still wars on this world when people can't be nice to each other even when it comes to these banalities. Though I'm of opinion that a lot of choice is a double-edged sword. And new tech stuff constantly coming out or existing stuff changing can leave one apathetic in the end.
  16. No prob here. As I've stated hundreds of times, browser choice is always always always a matter of PERSONAL PREFERENCE. There will never ever ever be a "one size fits all". The more, the merrier. I've never replied to any "which browser works best" with anything other than "we cannot make that choice for you, you will have to try several and decide for yourself". I'm also NOT a fan of "aero". Not a fan of "transparent" toolbars in 10 either.
  17. Linux has come a long way since 2005, though there are still oddities in places and they still didn't get some banalities right that Windows has done right since forever. So don't be surprised for the lack of polish under the hood and elsewhere. One of the first things I noticed with Raspberry Pi 5 and official Raspberry Pi OS, my session with all open programs was just gone if I turned on the option for screen to go off on inactivity or if I turned off the screen with a button. It's due to some combination of VideoCore4 graphics driver and Wayland, you can either put a special parameter to the kernel command-line or switch from Wayland to X11. Yeah, Wayland vs X11, that still seems to be a hot topic in 2024, LOL. Wayland was supposed to get graphics / windowing system right and display compositing out-of-the-box, but it just has its own quirks and restrictions and whatever GUI programs you use have to be programmed specially to support Wayland, X11 emulation on Wayland can be costly in performance, at least that was my experience with Vivaldi on Raspberry. I don't know, being a long-time Windows user and Windows almost always being #1 target for programs and hardware, I don't think I could personally just let it go. Windows 10 should still be fine for a good long while unless some of Windows 11 specialties are desired.
  18. Sorry, but it's not a word per se.
  19. I'm not sure that's true. Maybe it's true of some, but I often read what's going on "over there" when @VistaLover or @UCyborg links to a thread about a technical issue that affects UXP browsers (and "UXP-like" browsers such as St 55) generally. That said, there's often an arrogance "over there" that their decisions are the only "correct" decisions. It's not merely hating on MCP to recognize that there's still a lot of unnecessary tension between them and @roytam1 (not to mention @feodor2). It's important to recognize where we stand. I'm perfectly happy with MCP and @basilisk-dev refusing to support Vista and older OSes. You have to draw the line somewhere. But that doesn't make it the correct decision for everyone on the planet! Some folks prefer to stick with XP, some Vista, etc. I happen to prefer Windows 7 without Aero, which many folks think is weird because it makes it look like Win 98! But I think it's best to adopt a "live and let live" attitude, and not try to force my preferences on anyone else. Everyone is trying to make the best decision for themselves, and I think it's better to support whatever folks are trying to do than to belittle them because they made a different choice than I might have.
  20. Thanks! Yes, I do, unfortunately it's uninstallable, and Enchantress, I sometimes play that charachter.
  21. Actually I looked on a stock Windows 10 PC and the glitchy behavior was happening even there. Never mind I guess, I suppose that's just how it was coded from Microsoft themselves 🤷
