I usually use Hex-Editor MX 6.0.2.244 (NEXT-Soft) on ME and XP. Of course, there are others. The trick with the "Mypal engine" https://msfn.org/board/topic/181424-firefox-24-52-for-me-and-98/?do=findComment&comment=1210661 is no longer necessary and I don't recommend it either. Better replace RaiseException with GetLastError in MOZJS.DLL, what is described here https://msfn.org/board/topic/181424-firefox-24-52-for-me-and-98/?do=findComment&comment=1251487. Run the Editor -> open mozjs.dll -> Menu -> Search -> Search and Replace -> Text -> paste RaiseException ...

no, got BSOD after 1st stage. XP Pro SP3 VL. just replaced resources with English. check your inbox. :-) I have a bare metal but it is in decomposed state, having not enough memory.

Correct. I know v115 originally had / still has a "one year" time bomb. I removed this on my own copy and others (not me!) soon went public with their own time bomb defusing. There were reports that v115 had some Chinese telemetry still embedded but I myself never witnessed this (I rarely ever use it, I just have it lying around). I guess now I'm curious as to if the v92 and v108 may have some telemetry embedded as well (again, rarely use, just lying around). All of these are VM use only. Mainly because my real-life (some call it bare metal) HIGHLY prefers my own 360Chrome. It's an XP Thing - hate hate HATE not having a real TITLE BAR in any browser running on real XP. Just personal preference, of course.

I just discovered Supermium 122. I've been testing it for 3 days on original Windows XP Professional SP3 and I have been pleasantly surprised. The first day I noticed that everything was going very fast, however on the second day I noticed that the tabs wait a few seconds before opening a URL. The tab remains blank for a few seconds and then the page opens. I don't know if it is because Supermium is configured by default so that the page is not displayed until the download is complete or that I have touched something inappropriate in the settings. I would like to know who is behind the creation of Supermium, if it is a company or free development team. The downloads on Github are from the "win3ss" profile and according to what he says, he has created the company "Legace Software Corporation" Are these responsible for the creation and development of Supermium?

... Ah yes ; all these are works of the Chinese developer "weolar" ... Actually called "XPChrome" (perhaps why the confusion with another Chinese project, CatsXP ) : https://msfn.org/board/topic/185914-chrome-115-working-on-windows-xp-32-bit/ https://msfn.org/board/topic/185939-chromium-115-for-windows-xp-without-one-core-api/ https://github.com/weolar/xpchrome/releases

I need help running New Moon 28.10 by RoyTam1 on Windows 98 SE. Tried using the guide (Firefox 24 / 52 on Windows 98) but got stuck on one part: First of all, where is the platform version located on both files? (hexadecimal string) Second of all, I need a HEX editor that works on Windows XP (and thus means maybe can run on kernelex with updates) or 98. Either way, I'd love to see it (and browsers like Roytam1's Arctic Fox, or a Chromium based browser) run on a fully patched Windows 98 SE copy.

Nope, did not resolve.

No clue, to be perfectly honest. That is the very FIRST thing I check whenever a browser identifies itself as "ungoogled" and if the Web Store is hosting app data, the browser is NOT for me. "To each their own", of course. Only Official Ungoogled Chromium gets this CORRECT -

My bad, my v115 is not "CatsXP", unsure why I thought it was. And yes, I have Chrome versions v92, v108, and v115 that all run on XP! v92 and v108 are corporate versions, and NO, I cannot and WILL NOT distribute them !!! v115 has been discussed on MSFN. I forget where, exactly, but this site has a "search feature" for those so inclined to hunt it down.

Yes both are working at the same time. The mute switch however works on the laptop so I can mute the speakers and the sound will still play from the headphones. i installed the Yamaha soft synth , and tested some games and it sounds excellent. the volume control works in the waveout program.

See what it looks like if you use the scaling switches I'm using. /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 That fixed a lot of font issues for me.

OT. Last Vista one was probably based on Chrome 85, if I'm not mistaken. XP, most likely from 2016.

Strange, it doesn't mention whether these fixes were applied. https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2024/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_24.html

OT , but which specific version of CatsXP was XP-compatible?

Hmm... are any of these work on XP? CatsXP doesn't even start on Vista without Kernel.

It's a pity, I kinda hoped for a faster Ungoogling process. What exactly was Ungoogled, then?

Yes.

My XP continues to cut off the left edge of GUI fonts (web rendered fonts are fine). This is true in Supermium, Thorium, CatsXP, Chromium ESR 92, and Chromium ESR 108. In XP only. What can I do to assist in FIXING this - I will not become a GitHub member, so what else can I do to assist in tracking this nuance down?

This is only Windows 7 related. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/531#issuecomment-2091118136
