yeah, but it is too late to replace the release. for a workaround, replace xul.dll from previous release should be fine.

I get a warning from the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension on that site, but it works fine if I override it. Supermium 132.0.6834.224 on XP.

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.

... This only means further/wider proliferation of such MITM anti-crawler "services", with the web becoming even more "unpleasant" as time moves on (with a greater impact, of course, on older browser engines, on old/weak H/W); what's the point of having 500 (or more) Mbps fiber internet speeds when every tab you open in your browser will need additional time to pass complex JS tests? FTR, I keep, for historical purposes, a "portable copy" of NM27 (not the last one published, though), which isn't able to pass the Anubis test (e.g., on RPO Gitea repos); and even Serpent 52 struggles passing that test, especially if I don't disable "security/privacy"-oriented solutions (extensions and/or userscripts); privacy also falls victim here, because you're given no other choice on such web-policing "services": either "open" your "privacy fences" or be denied access to the site you're after ... This is all depression-inducing ...

It's Cloudflare, Jim, but not as we know it. Anubis is another clunky piece of software developed by people who believe that only selected browsers are allowed to use the internet. It seems to be predicated on the idea that any non-conformant browser must be evil. Ironically, https://forums.mozillazine.org/ are using the exact same thing. Ben.

Many people use a different system than they have in their profile, or have several computers with different systems.... So reboot12 was right to ask the question.

True. Also sad, as that version really isn't that old. Today I found myself unable to log into my discover.com account using Thorium. Seriously? Perhaps a UAO would've gotten me in, but the discover.com site was not at all helpful with regard to minimum supported browser versions. I only tried a Chromium 125 user agent, which didn't work. Version 125 works with Chase, which is only reason I tried even that one UAO. As a Windows 7 user, it was easier for me to just try R3dfox, which worked, so I didn't pursue UAOs any further.

Yesssssaaa After soso much crazy tests and hacks I succeed with the Nvidia GT 730 graphik card for to boot XP SP3 with full 32 bit 3D graphik on the Arrow Lake Gigabyte board B860 DS3H under pure Uefi, means no csm at all. Dietmar

I'm glad you like my article. Creating it and making the HTTPSProxies more future-proof was a pleasure for me as a die-hard fan of Windows XP.

You can find the download link for the CAupdater in my main article ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates.

I have a lot more run-ins with Cloudflare than I do Anubis. Both of them can get stuck in an infinite validation loop. Cloudflare can get insanely aggressive, it will quite happily lock your browser into an irretrievable Loop of Death (who would write code like that?). At least Anubis can easily be stopped. I think the thing I object to the most is that they focus on the way a browser looks rather than what it is actually doing. In civil society this is characterised as profiling rather than being intelligence led. All that will happen is that the bots will better disguise themselves and their behaviour will go unchecked. Ben.

RPO (repo.palemoon.org) is a server owned and paid-for by Moonchild himself; Gitea is just the version control software deployed on that private server to manage source development for UXP, Pale Moon and related projects; it's what is called a "private (self-hosted) Gitea instance" ; on the Anubis test page itself, one can read: ... so I believe MC is mainly concerned with excessive bandwidth consumption; please also note that he had already implemented geolocation-based ACLs (access-control-lists) to counter automated DDoS attacks and, as a consequence, in Hong Kong (where our own roytam1 lives ) RPO is blocked ...

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be. Been here before Dave, we covered this back in 2017. Simple fix with a Server 2003 version of USBPORT.SYS. daniel_k's solution appears to be the best of the various different packages that address the PAE limit.

The alternative forum is now available. It is located here: https://tripredacus.net/forum/index.php This forum is actively managed by myself and has public status sections for the three websites that I am providing temporary forums for. The fallback boards are not visible to the public and are not segregated, meaning if you can see a board, you can post in it if you want. The sections will always be open, even if the hosted site has an Up status such as MSFN currently does. This forum is not intended to, nor can it replace MSFN. It is also not meant to be a replacement for other unmanaged or unofficial meatup destinations such as any Discord channels, Steam or Facebook groups. It simple is a place to go in case there is a problem or you want to get info about whatever might be happening. This is not an indication that there is any longevity issue with MSFN. The forum rules are not MSFN's rules, with the exception that discussion about circumventing MSFN rules 1 are not allowed. UK/EU members make sure you read the end of the Registration Agreement. Whether you decide to register on it or not is up to you. This post is just to make you aware that it exists. You choose your own level of involvement. If you decide to register, you should edit your profile to put your MSFN name as it explains in the appropriate profile field. Doing so will cause a MSFN icon appear on your info card if you post in a thread.

Serpent/Newmoon latest Versions 20250617: Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows seem to be not functional and the History and the Bookmarks created on XP+ can't be used on ME/98 anymore - now empty. So Library could be almost completely broken on Win ME now. Probably the passwords aren't saved anymore and auto fill is broken, too. Maybe even more broke. The next days will show that.

After months of inactivity, I've finally tried running new versions of Microsoft 365 on Windows 8.1. I managed to install v2507 (the latest beta) on Windows 8.1. This is the 30th post-EOL version that can run on Windows 8.1 without an Extended Kernel (EOL: 2301, no ESU program). Windows 8.1 definitely benefits from newer APIs compared to Windows 7. Proof: imgur.com/a/microsoft-365-latest-on-windows-8-1-QKaEJhG

since @rn10950 is doing his job, I don't think I need to pick this up again.

This is not a problem (only) with legacy browsers. It is also related to the use of tweaks that reduce the ID'ing of one's browsing behavior, even in the newest versions of FF and derivatives. I haven't used legacy browsers (other than icecat, if you can call that legacy) for over six months. And yet, I get annoying cloudfare BS all the time. I blame those who use cloudfare, or similar s*** to "secure" their sites. Do your homework. Make safe your castle on your own. Do not rent knights for hire to do so.

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to install Windows Vista on Acer Travelmate P215-52G laptop (from 2020 era). It has Comet Lake chipset, i5-10210U CPU, Intel UHD Graphics iGPU, Nvidia MX230 GPU and 2x8 GB DDR4 RAM. I tried modded ACPI.SYS files for Windows XP and 7 but none of them worked. WinXP ones gave 0x000000A5 ACPI BSOD. Win7 ones gave 0xc00000098 boot error. Also tried HEX editing 84 C0 75 1F to 84 C0 90 90 and 85 C0 78 2E to 85 C0 90 90 but gave 0x000000A5 ACPI BSOD. Can anyone help me or have correct modded acpi.sys for vista x64? Thanks from now!

What @D.Drakersays is ironclad. Faulty drivers can easily kill hardware, I had an Nvidia card killed due to overheating (over-voltage?) by their faulty driver 364. Just use search, it's well described.

Why you just won't copy-paste the whole post here? Have you no respect for MSFN?

The topic is about Win 8.1, but since there is no separate one for 8.0 I am posting the information here, it also works after very similar modifications (even GetSystemTimes is not missing, although this 8.0 is RTM without any updates, and 8.1 I use updated to the end of 2017)

Thanks for reporting! It is good that such changes are reported here. However, I already noticed the update issue. I'll first provide the changes via automatic update soon. Assets updated. The automatic update of uBlock Origin Legacy's assets can be triggered by the "Purge all caches" function.

Yes, of course. These themes you linked to have never been compatible with Mypal 68.x but with the old Mypal 29.x. You have to look for themes compatible with Firefox 68.x (Firefox Quantum), for example, here: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/themes/ But do not expect to find complete themes as it was the case in the legacy browsers! They are almost gone. Only light ones are still available. Regarding your issue, you seem to mix up legacy browsers like Pale Moon, New Moon and Mypal 29 with Quantum based browsers like Firefox 68 or Mypal 68. You can read more about that, for example, here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/ There, I have listed different ways to customise Mypal 68. And of course, you will also find information in many other threads here on MSFN and everywhere else in the WWW. Search for Firefox Quantum themes!

Correct! You can even block external fonts via the dashboard settings page of uBO or via the content settings page of the browser but in these cases, for all websites. Here is your website called up in New Moon 28 when blocking the external font via uBlock Origin Legacy:

The only example you gave is a website where the user has to register. You said: "...more and more sites...". So please list here examples of websites which appear unsecure in 360Chrome and do not need any registering! Thanks

What's good about this is that I always find time to smoke a cigarette and drink a cup of strong coffee or East Frisian tea.

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.

Hi, bookie32, actually there should be "Safely Remove Hardware" icon on the taskbar with a dedicated USB icon. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/safely-remove-hardware-in-windows-1ee6677d-4e6c-4359-efca-fd44b9cec369

I'm sorry, I can't say whether he was German or not, it might be seen as PM leaks. But he seemed like a nice fella. And yes, I agree with you, less rumours is always better, people need their privacy. Again, I'm very glad you're with us and share your knowledge!

Where did you get this information? It usually comes in two versions, the free version Malware Hunter and the commercial version Malware Hunter Pro. As already described in my article, the features real-time protection and automatic updates are only available in Malware Hunter Pro. Actually, Glarysoft Malware Hunter Pro has a 30-day free trial period. After that, you must purchase a license for the software to use all its professional features. That means you can use it as an on demand scanner when the trial period has expired.

Please, translate such kind of messages! This is an English speaking forum, and not all are proficient in the Greek language.

Yep! However, I deactivated the file PromoUtil.exe in my installation when I used this security programme. Less pop-ups and less RAM consumption. The problem with all recent 360 Total Security versions is the quality of their scanners since they don't use Avira and Bitdefender scan engines any longer but unfortunately their own ones, 360 Cloud Scan Engine, 360 QVMII AI Engine, QEX and KunPeng. Read this review here: https://www.safetydetectives.com/best-antivirus/360-total-security/ And once again, please provide more information when you do a request! One image and a few words are simply too few.

Well, that really is news. BTW, did I mention that I have over 38 years of DOS and over 32 years of Windows experience? The registry is so to speak my home. And where do you live?

You are using a different version of Thorium than mine. Yours is an SSE4 release, mine is the SSE2 variant. And why do you have two icons with uBlock Origin in your browser? Strictly according to the motto twice is better?

Thanks for the hint! New list found! I will release an update of uBlock Origin Legacy as soon as possible.

32-bit Vista could be a temp replacement, since it doesn't.
