Yes it is. That's what "Alex F." (Thorium) wrote at his official github page. Not long after "Alex F." edited his profile and changed location from Russia to US. "I just tweak a few things, and do the necessary steps to remove Supermium branding..." He didn't, the maker himself did. Familiarize yourself with his statement. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/363#issuecomment-1998666719

How MSFN prohibition is relevant? Read the topic title again, please. 1 - MSFN board is not available in Russia without VPN! 2 - VPN is illegal in Russia. 3 - Checkmate. So - we shouldn't see any Russians here at all. But they are here, so - they break their own law and going towards criminal prosecution (with FSB at their doors, according to their own law cited by Saxon).

Please, don't try to start a fight! The sanctions which our governments applied are the result of what your country does. Those are facts, there's no "hatred" in that. MSFN is located in France, thus has to obey. The time will come, and one day you all will be ashamed of your behaviour! Though, I don't believe in that.

Anyway. Fixed! After all that, it turned out that the problem was with Malwarebytes Premium, which I use as my Internet security. It has a function which allows it to protect certain programs. I've already had to turn it off for other programs like Acrobat Reader and Word, where it caused freezes. I should have realised that it was a prime suspect here. I switched off its protection of Chrome, and everything came good. Quite why it wasn't causing the same problem with Supermium 121 I have no idea, but 122 is now running fine, in fact much more quickly than 121 ever did. It is of course very likely that Malwarebytes was slowing down 121 as well, but just not making it crash. Thanks everyone for the help. Cheers, Dave.

That's unfortunately not enough. What about all default uBlock filters? For blocking YouTube ads, you can enable uBlock filters – Quick fixes and GoodbyeAds-YouTube-AdBlock-Filter. In my thread, you will find my latest release containing all these filter lists and more. And in my article, you will find corresponding images of the tab Filter lists. In any case, I don't get ads in YouTube videos when using my mod uBlock Origin Legacy.

New Moon 28 is the browser I mainly use from @roytam1's releases. Many websites can be loaded without serious problems. But of course, there are bloated and cumbersome sites which are loading terribly. However, some of them can be edited with the help of uBlock Origin so that they run reasonably well again. For example, you can neuter the GMX homepage and completely remove all the news, adverts, videos and so on. Or use the right filter lists to access news pages like The New York Times again. On PCWelt, around 1000 elements are blocked with my activated filter lists and runs super smoothly again. However, without uBO, it would make no sense to access such websites on older machines.

We'd like to see some hard proof of that. Like @NotHereToPlayGames always puts it - "gut feeling doesn't count".

Stop threatening MSFN members. If you are so disgusted by the collective decision of the Reddit's highly respected community to officially label it as "child pornography distribution", if you don't agree with the results of the investigation, just ignore those posts. And this matter is directly related to the compromised security of that browser and safety of MSFN members, consequently - it's not off-topic.

Ethical reasons, also.

Now I've finally got it working properly, Superium 122 seems to be pretty good on 32 bit XP. It still eats memory voraciously, so I still get the 'out of memory' tab freezes, but I've not seen any problems with fonts or any other display issues, once I got the scaling right. I still think it's a very impressive piece of work, and a boon for XP users.

Using VPN is illegal in Russia, let me ask you, what are you doing here in the first place? According to the Russian laws, you're here illegally and you will be prosecuted. "Putin bans VPNs in web browsing crackdown" https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40774315 "Signed by President Vladimir Putin in July, the law imposes restrictions on proxy avoidance tools." https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-41829726 My advice for you is to calm down and let MSFN members be in peace. No one here "shoves" hatred into you.

You only need to post 1 answer and wait for another player to respond. Otherwise it's cheating,,,

Oh, just found this. "I do not believe you can. In October 2021 Nvidia dropped support for Win 7, 8, and 8.1 and the 3050 was released recently so that is why the older drivers will not recognize it." https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-RTX-3050-on-Windows-7-m3532944.aspx

Yeah, Im certainly not moving onto the next version. Even if that means having to disable windows automatic updates. Not until I know I can retain my classic UI features.

You don't have to, facts tell for themselves! Besides, it'd be boring because you all tell the same. Regarding VPN, the administration of MSFN had their right reserved to block whatever they want, it's written in the rules. When (and if) they allow Russia to be whitelisted again, they will notify you, stay tuned. I hope politics wasn't the reason you joined MSFN, seeing it's your first post.

Hello @Felipefpl! Do once again a clean install! That means you have to manually delete the file ublock0.sqlite inside your profile subfolder extension-data. But don't forget to backup your settings and rules first! BTW, I tested updating from version 1.16.4.33 to version 1.16.4.34 and didn't notice any problems when doing this with the alternative method.

I wouldn't risk my computer with the officially proven to be compromised browser. In the comments they wrote many other nasty things it does, in addition to what already been found, but of course, everyone decides for himself. The Reddit community advises to delete it. Are the just stupid? I don't think so.

Let's employ some Aristotelian logic in the form syllogism: Premise: 1) Supermium has memory leaks on XP 2) Supermium crashes on XP 3) Thorium is completely stable on XP Conclusion: Thorium is different from Supermium. I don't know what he's doing differently, but whatever it is that he's doing, the result is a product that I can actually use... MyPal and Supermium are nice, but for now, the only stable browsers in my opinion with any degree of functionality in XP are Thorium , 360Chrome, and Serpent (and perhaps possibly other @roytam1 browsers I've not looked into). Yes, MyPal works in theory, but has nowhere near the degree of stability of FF52-based Serpent when hardware acceleration is enabled. 360Chrome was my daily driver for a while, but it is no longer being updated and it was rough around the edges. I've had the same instance of Thorium running on XP with no stability issues at all. It's not perfect, it won't work with certain sites, but it's an excellent daily driver for an XP machine, the best out there right now.

Utilizing Spt & NM approximately 50% for (pre-)listening & collecting music, i do share your disappointment - but not the frustration: i stopped using YT completely (access only directly via youtube-dl), no more soundcloud, never a need for spotify at all, discogs only with noscript activated (works passibly): All albums & tracks i purchase at bandcamp (with nice pre-listening options), directly by the artists or (smaller) labels. By my guess, 99 % of the serious contemporary artists offer their work here (at least in my lucky case ).

Done, upvoted your post, as asked.

If you go back a page or two Tihiy stated that he's reached an agreement with Microsoft to disable the classic taskbar by default on new 24H2 installs. I read that as when a new user on 24H2 installs StartAllBack they will have to manually enable the enhanced classic taskbar. Based on the feature flag to disable it and the fact that Microsoft is flagging apps that use it it seems that they want to discourage use because they may not be able to remove it entirely for compatibility reasons with legacy software. That's my theory, if they could remove it it would have been gone already when they removed the old systray. They've resorted to crippling it instead. Hopefully the media attention and backlash will result in them turning a blind eye, use at your own risk. That's what we have to hope for. Edit: I also want to advise building a plan B, evaluate your workflow and see where you can build a new workflow with other tools around the new taskbar worst case scenario. I know I've already figured out how I will manage with the new taskbar if forced to use it.

Dead right, thank you! Banned.

From what I remember it had a problem with saving from DuckGo. It save without the file extensions. I can be mistaken.

If I have understood you correctly now, then the logger of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.3x does not show these noop things because in the these versions (before 1.16.6b1) the function "redirect-rule=" is not implemented and therefore can't be logged but only "redirect=". Right?

Update notification! - uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35. As already described, you can install this version over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher). The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! I changed the link of an important filter list to get the most recent version. More details can be found in the changelog. in my main article, and of course the download link. Cheers, AstroSkipper

About Bypass Paywalls Clean: official news and updated versions, here: https://twitter.com/Magnolia1234B Not sure if the filterlist is included in the provided archive (seems to be complete) and how it can be included/updated in our browsers.

Image saving problems were already reported in Mypal 68's issues: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/273 Personally, I never tried to save images using Mypal 68.13.9b but I will try to do so when I'm back at my desktop computer.

There was no misleading information in @AstroSkipper's post, and MyPal 68 works perfectly fine with that German DNS provider with no-logging policy. P.S. "N." word is a bad word, at least in the US.

Wait a minute, so you knew it doesn't work in MyPal right from the start, and you didn't warn the people of MSFN! This is disrespect and disinformation, at the very least. Yes, multiple accounts here use MyPal, what's wrong with that? Care to explain? What are you angry with?

OMG, that multiple acc. crap again. Report! What's stopping you, huh? You don't report because you know it's not true. We can't. You give dangerous, erroneous advice all the time, like this once again. People may have troubles with the police because of what you suggest, some countries have very harsh laws! The articles you attach, you clearly didn't read yourself, otherwise you'd see it doesn't work with MyPal.

This is for MS Edge or very recent Firefox only, therefore - it won't work with MyPal, this post only brings confusion to the users of MyPal. Besides, they acquire false sense of security with your unprofessional advice, thus they can get caught in a very unpleasant situation. Most importantly, it's even written in the supplied article, but you failed to mention it, why?

You're wrong. Let's see why. Information from the official source: "Mypal68 - A browser for Windows XP based on Firefox 68." Again, 68. Minimum requirements for Enter Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) is Firefox 85, again 85, And keep in mind, 85 is in beta mode, for testing purposes only! Ideally - much higher, recent version is needed. "Firefox 85 replaces ESNI with ECH draft-08, and another update to draft-09 (which is targeted for wider interoperability testing and deployment) is forthcoming" Developer source article. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/01/07/encrypted-client-hello-the-future-of-esni-in-firefox/

But you're very wrong. Google is nobody's friend.

You are not paying attention, you confused me with another member. I'm from Belgium, my country flag is shown, why would I break any laws?

When I talk about data protection and internet security, it's always about privacy. I belong to neither the one nor the other school you mentioned. And people who spread all sorts of ill-considered stuff on the Internet or are willing to give away unlimited data can't be helped anyway.

I have a similar Xeon Board from 2009. It was sold with the first edition of Server 2008. Server 2008 was issued to OEM sales on January 2008. Server 2003 and XP64 had some odd behaviour with the C-states of Xeon CPUs. I had to force C1 state only, and the issues were gone.

When these empty files noop.txt and noop.js are returned, will they be stored locally on the computer? Where are they generated at all? And what exactly means local in this context? Local file on the server, local file on the client/computer? In any case, I couldn't find such files. TBH, this all is a bit confusing.

I have just copied my previously downloaded list from my installation with the version number 3.6.3.2. Therefore, this last version can't disappear.

Update notification! - uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.34 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.33 to version 1.16.4.34. Starting with this version, installing over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher) is completely working again. The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" or "Update now". From now on, the user will get the internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) automatically. And I added new filter lists to different groups. More details can be found in the changelog in my main article, and of course the download link. The update to version 1.16.4.34 should be done as already described, but this time for the very last time. The easiest way is the alternative method: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy over the existing one. Reset your installation using the "Reset to default settings" button on the page "Settings". Restore all settings from your backup file. Cheers, AstroSkipper

No, it was "explicit", there was an official investigation on github, with the help of their users community. "Anti-Circumcision (sexuallymutilatedchild) pages with documentary images were found in Thorium author page source code repository. They have been removed from the main branch with commit 15f9d5bd9a50f85f0019ec9bcc2d4183f868a6b5. This is exactly what the community has decided to mark as the child pornography distribution." "In the same source repo from above, a small collection of "hidden" furry pornography (soft and explicit) was also found" https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18ihls8/dont_use_thorium_browser_if_you_have_it_installed/
