@AstroSkipper Why I asked about AdGuerd, so what about other things there? Evrething is the same or not, does it pass to the network.

No it does not.

This downloads 3.7.8.

Ok and so it's not possible to have the original tooltips with the original font (like the screens above) ? The NoDarkTooltips registry key modifies the tooltips, and they are like this (and default Windows font) : Without NoDarkTooltips registry key (and darker Windows font) : Strange that without the registry key the font is darker (dark mode, etc... off) Thanks for your help

Currently, MCP are running a Gitea-v1.21.11 instance on their repo server to develop their platform+browser: ... but that version of Gitea is already somewhat broken when used in MCP platform/browsers ; e.g., just navigate to the Home page of the PM source repo, https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon and then try to download a tarball (or ZIP) of the source: It is impossible to perform any of the "More Operations" actions spawned when the ellipsis (...) button is clicked under UXP (latest NM28 tried), because they're not clickable/actionable-upon: ... the irony ; OTOH, I can use KMB (Chromium 87, released in mid-Nov 2020) to fetch that tarball (file "Pale-Moon-master.tar.gz") fine! ... Don't even get me started on HOW MUCH BROKEN Microsoft's "GitHub Web Client" is currently on UXP, all the more so for signed-in members ; GH on UXP is the reason that, since mid-Dec 2023, I practically abandoned my favourite (for many years) Serpent 52 for Kafan MiniBrowser (Cr87) and, at this time, also contemplating switching to either Supermium/Thorium ...

26100.268 is out, SAB 3.7.9 still works! Looks like Explorer Patcher is worse off... @Tihiy how is SAB able to still use the Win 10 taskbar if EP is saying it no longer works? Is this because you replaced the systray with your own code or is there more to the SAB taskbar that makes it more resilient to Microsoft?

See, that makes me feel a little better :-) Just seeing your "reversal" script from June last year (that you linked to a few posts up) made me think it was just as easy as "reversing" them back the other way...

Does not work! It is labeled as a "work in progress" but it doesn't seem to be doing ANYTHING that an UNGOOGLED browser should do. Easy test, with no open tabs, clear your cache and then go to clear it a second time. An UNGOOGLED browser will NEVER show this after you just cleared your cache and you've not yet visited ANY web site PLUS this is with a profile that HAS NO EXTENSIONS. A Chrome-based browser that is NOT "ungoogled" has a CONSTANT line of communication "open" with the Web Store.

Nope, I can recall something like this happend to me, first time trying this on some windows 10 or 11 build.

Thank you very much for that, great to get a "secret look" in the kitchen :-) Well, at least you know I'm doing my best, and each time I fail I respect YOUR work that much more. So you weren't surprised my system went belly-up with my crude attempts?

In Firefox 78+, some extensions worked incorrectly

Applying Windows 11 build 26100 with WinNTSetup works fine (of course), the NoDefender tweak works, thank you very much for that. Nice to see that after a successful setup, Defender is off, so my postinstall (with all my programs and settings) is as fast as before (absolutely no need for an antivurs to keep checking these files). I also have my own little Apply tool, made in AHK (basically scripts with a GUI). Just to learn and experiment. This has also worked very well until now. Even with 26100, the only thing that has changed for me is that Defender was not deactivated. So now I'm trying to replicate what JFX has done to deactivate Defender in my own scripts. Looks like you do a series of "Image File Execution Option" settings, correct? When I set these for MpCmdRun.exe, MsMpEng.exe and smartscreen.exe, Defender does seem to be deactivated, but the system becomes incredibly unresponsive and slow. So once again, I feel like I'm so close, yet so far away from the solution :-) Do you have any tips to nudge me in the right direction? I must have these entries below wrong somehow, this is the only thing I added to an otherwise working .reg file. Without these, apply and setup runs fine, but when I add them back, the system is incredibly slow after Setup finishes. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\MpCmdRun.exe] "Debugger"="NUL" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\MsMpEng.exe] "Debugger"="NUL" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\smartscreen.exe] "Debugger"="NUL"

At least, on my old computer with a 32-bit single-core CPU. I did a little research about the preference extensions.webextensions.remote. This is a preference to disable separate webextensions process(es). When set to true, Mypal 68 will use separate content process(es) for webextensions that are installed in the web browser. The number of these processes can be set by the preference dom.ipc.processCount.extension with the default value of 1. When extensions.webextensions.remote is set to false, then Mypal 68 won't use separate content process(es) for these webextensions. The extensions.webextensions.remote preference will only be read once. If you are changing this preference, the browser needs to be restarted for it to apply. I now assume that this preference has no effect when using Mypal 68 in single-process mode because there is only one process.

Hi, I'm working on an experiment about converting Windows XP Professional to Windows XP Embedded. And I just discovered that there's a registry data EmbeddedNT in the ProductSuite value. The problem is the Embedded SKU is only available in some WIM-based installation media disks. And I decided to port it to I386-based installation. But the problem is the GUI-mode setup restarts itself immediately if the EmbeddedNT data was added during text-mode setup. I tried to edit both setupreg.hiv file and hivesys.inf files. But both ways ended up with the same result. Then I decided to install that value duing GUI-mode setup. And I think it is possible, because the registry data Terminal Server is added after GUI-mode setup on Windows Server 2003 installations. But I'm not pretty sure on how to do that. Any ideas? Thank you.

Multi-process won't work as designed then. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/07/11/firefox-nightly-out-of-process-web-extensions/ And potential compatibility issues with extensions, eg. https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/issues/148

sorry, but the only "association" I have with chocolate is this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKH3qchAAec

Those are XAML tooltips, not Win32 tooltips.

Thanks for the reply!, I’ll be home shortly and I’ll have a go and see if it works. Thanks again!

The reason OpenOffice is still compatible with XP is because it hasn't received a major version update since 2014. https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice-vs-openoffice/
