I think we have to take Shane's word for it that the patch has been applied to Supermium 132. As I said earlier, it's an ESR version, which surely should be capable of having the patch applied to it, as it should be fully supported until the next ESR version is released. I'm not sure how we can test whether the patch has been applied successfully or not.

@reboot12 Make some tests with disable and enable the Microsoft UAA drivers in System Devices. I remember, that I had the same problem and the admin @Dave-H here also with Baytrail Flex 10 and XP and sound Dietmar

Sotwe.com is working fine here in the UK on Supermium 132.0.6834.224 on XP.

Then it's a good idea to use the patched ungoogled for Server 2008 R2. No one knows and no one can guarantee how good and when the old 132 Supermium will (ever?) be patched for that serious vulnerability. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_138.0.7204.96 Edit/ They say it's been patched in R5. But in the article they say the patch is for 138+! Contradictory. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v132-r5

off topic: after using for 5 years and wrote ~90TB, my SN750 1TB lost from system first time. following experience from last time, I grabbed my unconnected idle 970evo+ and did a quick clone and let SN750 idle without electricity instead. time to find another m.2 stick with DRAM.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

@Dietmar A CSMWrap version has been released, which allows you to use the BIOS video from the disk from EFI\Boot\vgabios.bin https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap/issues/37#issuecomment-3030297746 Compiled bins: https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap/actions/runs/16040013218 Thanks to this, WinXP boot OK on iGPU using ntldr as on a normal Legacy machine - I tested CoffeeLake, Haswell, SandyBridge: CSM Disabled, iGPU VBIOS extracted from motherboard bios. Now - I don't have to use SeaVGABIOS and Longhorn bootmgr 5472 loader.

Thanks for linking! Unfortunately, such comparisons are not particularly useful. It also depends considerably on other components such as the RAM memory, north and south bridge, the bus clock, the graphics adapter, processor features, hyper-threading and so on.

Not quite true. I use both my old Windows XP computer and my Android tablet for what you call "real work". And in some special cases, a notebook with Windows 7 and Windows 10. But that was not the point here. Anyway! This thread is actually about Mypal 68, and I am happy to confirm that this browser works well on my old hardware. And much better when optimised.

Probably @Cixert assumed, and rightfully so, the double engine of 360 Explorer or something similar would be implemented in Supermium, too.

You mean ChatGPT suffers a notorious paranoia?

This is not a bug, but an improvement to indicate disabled window. There is/will be a setting to disable shading for confused ones [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack\DarkMagic] FadeDisabled = (DWORD)0 There are acrylic effects alright, but it's not supposed to be pure black, maybe extra tweaks on your system.

I finally managed to get Serpent/Mypal 68 to work on Windows XP SP1 (and also SP2). Notes kernelxp.dll stays in the "mypal" and "basilisk" directories after patching, or else it will NOT work. mypal68-xpsp1-code.txt serpent-xpsp1-code.txt

Yes, I can. Then leave only one, what stops you? Never heard of XP using two modern cards all at once in one setup troub;e free.

Are you sure???????? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_(JavaScript_engine) Excerpt from Wikipedia. "V8 is a JavaScript and WebAssembly engine developed by Google for its Chrome browser. V8 is free and open-source software that is part of the Chromium project and also used separately in non-browser contexts, notably the Node.js runtime system. Other server-side JavaScript runtimes use alternative engines, such as Bun and Hermes. Wikipedia Developer(s) Google Initial release September 2, 2008 Written in C++"

That I can't do, I need to maintain the gaming performance. BTW, I had managed to start 137. But not 140. And with the old redirection method, WITHOUT SM files at all. I don't have any EX kernels extensions installed.

The site is still blocked on the DNS level in some countries like Canada. Obtained the latest 132 copy from Github. Now I get this.

Then I deleted the Supermium wrapper NdDll, and without it I now see NO missing dependencies, but no start nevertheless.

I used kernel33 from extended kernel and advapi32, ole32, shell32, user32 wrappers from Supermium 132. As you can see, for example, ublock works. I didn't need a platform upgrade or an extended kernel installation for this

Define "good". You mean those that can intentionally damage eyesight to help with ignoring illiteracy? BTW, you can switch on spelling check in Chrome.

New version now released, Supermium 132.0.6834.224 R4. This release of Supermium includes various changes and improvements, including: (#1412) - Option to disable autoplay introduced in chrome://flags, #disable-autoplay (#1403) - --force-dark-mode option introduced to deal with possible issues with white flashes in dark mode. However, some flashes may still appear due to caching of previous page views (#1445) - chrome://version uses Supermium branding (#1441, #1433, #1398, #1400) - Small changes to default metrics, particularly affecting v109 and CR23 tab styles (#1438) - New tab button fixed in place (and the tab close button should no longer overlap favicons) (#1411) - Download link now appears by default in chrome://downloads, as opposed to referrer link (issue unassigned) - #disable-gpu-driver-bug-workaroundsnow available in chrome://flags Some small mitigations have also been introduced for crashes in portable configurations on Windows 7.

The separate installer for Windows 10 and 11 was introduced to apparently mitigate some hard to pin down issues which only appeared on those operating systems. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/win10_11-test-v1 What the differences actually are, I don't know, but the separate installer has remained on all subsequent releases. I've never used it on Windows 10, because I've had no problems with the standard version.

That is, the breaking of the engine or V8 by author continues. The question is for what reason? The author doesn't have to do anything with it to maintain legacy OS compatibility.

Does anyone else use Supermium with Instagram? The reason I ask is because recent versions for me seem to have trouble with the overlays which should come up if you click on the link in a post to view the comments. What often happens for me is that the screen darkens down, but the overlay does not appear. The only way I can view the whole list of comments is to open the link in a new tab, which I shouldn't have to do. The equivalent overlay on Facebook works fine. I'm pretty sure this isn't being cause by any of my extensions. I did suspect uBlock, but I've switched it off on IG and the problem is still happening.

I think MSFN could benefit from a Compile Chromium thread/tutorial. I myself have "successfully" compiled Chromium but I've had to take bits and pieces from four (or more, don't recall now) different "tutorials" found online. I ended up with something that would "launch" and "browse", but in the end I didn't really "trust" my own work and sent it all to the Recycle Bin.

https://msfn.org/board/topic/186741-firefox-and-chromium-running-on-windows-7-by-e3kskskoy7wqk/?do=findComment&comment=1278904 They quit making CCFL around 2007, around 18 years ago, so yeah it's LED. you said it's "less than 10 y.o." Shades of white and proper shadows are only visible on a good, properly calibrated, expensive LED, which is LESS than 5, not "less than 10 years old" like yours, but then again, I don't blame you, it's just strange why at least 5 people here see that, and you don't.

This topic is designed to compare the overall performance of different computers with each other under Windows XP.

I am not always right. But a pure comparison of CPUs is not sufficient. Read here, for example, about the difference between SD-RAM and DDR2-RAM: https://www.transcend-info.com/support/faq-296#:~:text=DDR2 SDRAM(Double Data Rate,(double of DDR SDRAM). Maybe now you'll realise what I'm talking about. And apart from that, an Intel Pentium 4 is not the same as an Intel Pentium 4. There were different series like Willamette, Northwood, and Prescott. And within these series different FSB clock rates. So, forget about these comparison sites! The only way to compare our computers is doing the same test regarding all hardware components. P.S.: Due to my motherboard layout, there are several bottlenecks. Firstly, the extremely slow SD-RAM memory, then the very low bus clock rate and finally the AGP 4x interface, although my graphics card actually is an AGP 8x one.

Maybe, an old SSL Proxy could help. Or a very old version of ProxHTTPSProxy where SSL3 is not disabled. Just ideas. As far as I know, OpenSSL supports SSLv3, at least in older versions.

... Age-related YouTube blocks can be successfully circumvented, while being logged out of course, by using below userscript: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file#userscript I did my little experiment while being logged out of course but without any YouTube Age Restriction Bypass script. I never had such age-related blocks on YouTube here.

Glad that explains it, I do have the Segoe UI fonts installed on XP. I can't remember why.

I didn't realise that so many people here are interested in the physics of thermodynamics.

FYI, my toggle buttons can easily be modified to switch other Boolean preferences. I explained it in the corresponding posts. TBH, there is nothing to be changed in the button's code. I think you rather mean changing the selected preferences which you want to control. This is to be done in the main user interface window of Pref Toggler via the button "Edit List". That's good to hear. Thanks for your feedback!

Did you also try different user agents on this website?

It's much worse for me, and I don't even have the Aero theme like you. I ran it on my Windows 8.0 with Light and Dark themes, it consumed all 32GB of memory with 1 empty page, and after one second I got "out of memory" even at the settings page!

You're most likely missing the AHCI drivers that needed to be integrated. It's many tutorials around the web. I'm not sure whether to tell it here because it would involve the modifying of original MS ISO. Just search for integrating SATA drivers (AHCI) to XP.
