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.

... 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.

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.

something like this

Anubis (from Egyptian mythology) was also the name of a villainous character on the Stargate SG-1 television series. AI crawling sounds bad but I'm not sure why, what it is, how it differs from ordinary Web crawling, or why robots.txt cannot be relied on.

You know it has to resemble the colour of their souls.

Try deleting %localappdata%\StartAllBack\Cache

I didn't make something special. I tested on two machines and also with fresh profiles. I can only guess. I could test on a more reduced system, maybe I could try with the Kext files I provide on the first page here.

I would go to a good eye doctor if a misspelled word brothers you that much !

Click to do still shows up on startallback start menu all programs list even when uninstalling it. It does not show up on the normal windows 11 start menu all programs list after uninstalling it this way.

Wrapper of bcryptprimitives (e.g., p_cryptp from Supermium) and kernel32 (e.g., pwrp_k32 also from Supermium). And you can mod this yourself.

I saw I had to use Supermium for websites that are "too new" for Serpent/newmoon (avif support, etc.).

Because it is literally nonsense to have two (maybe even three in a few months) ESR branches running at the same time. What was the reason for not supporting Windows 7 and 8.1 till Firefox 128 and then migrate them to the ESR chanel, when 115 ESR and 128 ESR will probably have the same EOL date? Users of older operating systems could have profited from the features introduced between 115-128 as well. Let's say Firefox 115 ESR will be extended for another 6 months -> you are patching an older version instead of a newer one with better Web Standards. Makes no sense for me. I give you another example: Microsoft not releasing IE10/11 for Windows Server 2008 SP2 was such a dumb idea, since IE9 does not feature the same HTML5/CSS standards as IE11. While these two browser version were released 2 years apart from each other, Microsoft could have ported it back for 2008 SP2 as well but they didn't. Up to this day, they continue to support IE9 on 2008 SP2 (with Premium Assurance) but it makes no sense, since you cannot browse the web with that version anymore. Most sites do not render correctly etc. IE11 would have been a huge advantage for the remaining users in literally any way possible To conclude, it is always better to have a more up-to-date version because of newer in-build web technologies. If I would have to choose, I would always pick the newer branch for my older OS

I am the guy behind i486 handle and the following repository https://github.com/i486/VxKex Here are the facts and timeline about VxKex: July 22, 2024 The account of vxiiduu (the original author of VxKex) and all of their repositories, including VxKex, were wiped for unknown reasons. This led to various rumors in different communities. Some suggested it was due to a ban by Microsoft, while others suspected malware or other issues. Around the same time, someone created fake repositories and began impersonating vxiiduu. They added a fake changelog, fake supported applications, their own Bitcoin donation address, and even claimed they were planning to release "VxKex 2.0." Fake repositories: https://github.com/VxKex/VxKex https://github.com/vxiiduu1/VxKex BTC Donation Fake changelog July 22 2024 Later that day, vxiiduu revealed that he had intentionally wiped their online presence (including Github) due to being doxxed. He clarified that the doxxing was unrelated to VxKex or any computer-related matters. I (i486) independently confirmed this information. July 23, 2024 vxiiduu confirmed that they had no connection to the fake repositories. I and many others reported these fake repositories to GitHub. At this point, I made the decision to upload the original VxKex installers and source code to my own repository, aiming to preserve the project and provide a space for users to discuss VxKex and download the authentic installers. To ensure I had the most accurate data, I used Software Heritage to obtain a complete bare clone of the original VxKex repository. A few days later, the fake repositories were archived and eventually deleted. It’s unclear if this was due to our reports or if the impersonator deleted them themselves. October 10 2024 vxiiduu silently released VxKex 1.1.2.1428 on a Discord channel they’ve always used for discussions about VxKex and Windows. November 2024 The impersonator exploited GitHub’s policy of reusing handles 90 days after deletion. They registered vxiiduu’s old handle and created another fake VxKex repository under the original URL. They included a fabricated story about taking care of a sick mother and added another Bitcoin donation address. November 9 2024 Vxiiduu confirms there is no connection between his previous GitHub handle and the recently created fake repository. Around December 2024 I discovered that vxiiduu had silently released a new version of VxKex on Discord back in October, and the impersonator had returned as well. Since vxiiduu has not returned to GitHub, and only a few Chinese sites and one fork were aware of the new VxKex 1.1.2.1428 release, I felt it was important to update my repository. I also thought it was a good opportunity to ensure people knew about the fake repository to avoid potential harm and future infections, especially given that my repository has the most followers and a place for a discussion. The original repository's URL now belongs to an impersonator, and the new version still contains links pointing to the now fake repository. To solve this issue, I initially replaced the fake repository references in the source code and compiled a new version. However, I decided against this approach to avoid any skepticism about the binary changes. Instead, I chose to hex-edit the references in binaries and repack the installer. This way, when you compare my binaries with the original setup files from vxiiduu’s Discord, the only difference you’ll find is the GitHub link – everything else remains the same. It’s worth mentioning that the fake repository isn’t only referenced in the copyright field; there's also a "Report Bug" button in the VxKex options that links to the fake repository. I felt it was critical to address this issue. December 22, 2024 I updated my repository with the source files from the new version and released VxKex 1.1.2.1428 with a warning about the impersonator and their fake repository. The impersonator responded to being called-out by pushing various changes to their repository. At one point, it was like this: Now it says that my repository is the fake one and contains malware. You can read more details in this issue thread: https://github.com/i486/VxKex/issues/43 Hope these clears things up. If something is not clear, please ask i'll try to answer. And of course, I'd greatly appreciate if anyone here could report the impersonator/fake repo to Github. ...

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.

You said all started to glitch out with Thorium. Did you install Thorium by the install.cmd file or did you just unpack the archive? And what about the "NotoEmoji Regular Segoe UI emoji" font? Did you also install it?

You should better use GPU-Z to see all features of your graphics card.

Today, I have installed Legacy Update 1.9 on my Windows XP Professional SP3 installation where POSReady updates have never been applied. It's just a pure Windows XP 32-bit. Due to the lack of POSReady updates, I decided to test Legacy Update in this XP installation. It was installed in seconds and calling up this service worked without any problems. It even offered to install root certificates and POSReady updates, which I didn't want and had to untick during the install process, though. The Windows Update search was performed in the Internet Explorer without any settings or actions by the user, and only few minutes later, it was done. Great service! I can definitely recommend it, especially to those who haven't use the POSReady hack. BTW, the result was the same I got in 2014 as all WU/MU updates have been installed at that time. I just wanted to be sure that no updates are missing.

I know that these settings are not just there for fun. I lost nearly all my installed extensions at the beginning of my tests with Thorium due to these registry settings. I'm not going to play around with it again. I have installed 14 extensions. Not all are enabled, of course. Some of them are permanently enabled and some only on demand.

Thorium SSE2 122.0.6261.168 WINXP x32, which is actually the version 122.0.6261.169, stores extension settings in the registry. That you cannot replicate it is unfortunately not my problem. And I don't believe that this version does it only for me. Or do you think I created all these entries by myself just to confuse you? Here is a screenshot:

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?

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

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.

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.

What I can say in any case is that Mypal 68.13.7b is also affected by this issue. And after a short test, Mypal 68.13.3b is affected by these sporadic crashes, too. All in single-process mode. In multiprocess mode, on the other hand, Mypal 68.13.7b doesn't seem to crash on Codeberg.org, i.e. just as in Mypal 68.13.9b. Greetings, AstroSkipper

I can't observe this problem in the most recent version of New Moon 28.10.7a1 (32-bit) (2024-02-23) with Palefill 1.28 enabled. This site seems to work. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper Same applies to the most recent version of Serpent 52 with Palefill 1.28 enabled. No problems here as you can see in this screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Agreed!

I'm sorry, I'd want to see a technical explanation.

Do you have an option "Allow memory remap", it usually helps, otherwise I agree, it's a bug in Windows 7, not the case with Vista, weirdly enough.

Could you please describe in details? What did you mean "kill Vista"?

Of course the Windows Update Agent with file version 6.3.21.0 has to be installed. This is the version I have. Install it with command option: WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x86 /WUforce. Then install Restore_WU_XP_2003 again. No reboot at this time. Then do following steps of Restore_WU_XP_2003's install.cmd manually: adding registry entries by importing via reg file if necessary but injecting wuaueng.dll in any case. Then reboot your computer. Try MU again. P.S. No more further editing. I swear!

What certificate do you mean? cacert.pem in program folder of HTTPSProxy (using HTTPSProxy instead of ProxHTTPSProxy) or site certificates like fe2.update.microsoft.com.crt in cert folder of HTTPSProxy or what? Very confusing these comments in this topic.

Thanks for very quick reply! I'm not getting "HTTP error 403 Forbidden" for both urls. I think you have to be in Germany to watch these streams due to terms of license . Maybe you can test it with a German VPN. I triied a German VPN and it works too. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors in Germany or using German VPN but using any new xpmod-sse builds no chance. In the command line log window I can see "skip...." endless lines. Then I got error message of windows. Maybe you want a log of these errors? It seems the new ones can't find audio streams and so on.

Hello, I use the FFmpeg for Windows XP builds to watch Live TV streams. Really nice work and thanks for that. But there is a problem. All new xpmod-sse builds work great and better than the old legacy ones except with Live streams of two German local channels ZDF and ZDFneo. The stream urls are https://zdf-hls-15.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016498/de/med/master.m3u8 and https://zdf-hls-16.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016499/de/med/master.m3u8. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors. Something must have changed by modifying I think. Any ideas? Thanks and regards
