Hey, just a notice - I created a topic requesting dedicated board for roytam1 browsers https://msfn.org/board/topic/178117-roytam1s-browsers-dedicated-board-in-members-projects-sub-forum/ Take a look and vote in a poll if you agree

FWIW there has been a rather unexpected update to Silverlight! It's now 5.1.50918.0. It's just an update for the Japanese calendar change. I was offered it on Windows 10, and downloaded the installer and manually installed it on XP, so I don't know whether MS Update is offering it on POSReady hacked XP or not.

Hey, what do you think about making dedicated board for roytam1's Firefox-based browser builds having a dedicated board somewhere in https://msfn.org/board/forum/102-member-contributed-projects/ ? Currently everything is discussed in one topic: Which has already grown into megathread with different bug reports, questions, discussions related to roytam1's browsers... and they're quite many of them. Trying to find relevant info is getting quite hard with the volume :/ Dedicated board will help a) users to easily find his area of interest in the topic dedicated to his build/issue/question/suggestion b) help author to keep track of a separate issues. As the browsers seem to be popular among MSFN users, this is getting needed. Users, please vote in the poll to show if you agree Admins, mods, is this possible to happen? I contacted roytam1 beforehand and he agrees Plus, if the board gets created some redirection link in XP board will be helpful, as the browsers builds aim at XP compatibility, obviously PS turned voters visibility on.

I'd been using that myself, but decided to stop in favor of the "Canvas Defender" add-on. The purpose of the canvas.poisondata pref is to randomize canvas data to avoid fingerprinting. However, there's a problem with this approach: most browsers don't have that feature. Even NM/Basilisk don't enable it by default. So all Facebook, Google, etc. have to do is to run the fingerprint twice, observe that the browser returns different results each time, and they'll know that the user belongs to the small subset who have browsers or add-ons that poison canvas data. Then other, less precise fingerprinting techniques can still uniquely identify users within that small subset. Canvas Defender, in contrast, changes canvas data periodically rather than every time a fingerprint is attempted. The rate of the periodic changes can be set anywhere from once per minute to once per week (or turned off completely so you can change it manually as desired). The idea is to look like one of the "unwashed masses" who don't poison their canvas data (thus allowing tracking for a while), while in reality poisoning canvas data often enough to render said tracking useless.

I just got it from here - https://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ I assume it's the same file!

@Dave-H Download-Center Silverlight Version 5.1.50918.0 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57768

Believe it or not, 5.1.50907 may not be the final release. On Win 7, WU just today updated Silverlight to 5.1.50918! Edit: It looks like one of those updates to handle the new Japanese era (like the Office 2010 updates M$ keeps fouling up), so it may or may not be compatible with XP. I checked MU on my XP VM. The update wasn't there, but since POSReady '09 is still supported, it still might appear in a day or two. Edit 2: Downloaded the new Silverlight to my XP VM and installed it. Does anyone know of a good Silverlight test page?

The supported list will now be: [SETUPAPI.DLL] CM_Connect_MachineA CM_Get_Child CM_Get_Child_Ex CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_PropertyW CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_Property_ExA CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_Property_ExW CM_Get_DevNode_Status CM_Get_DevNode_Status_Ex CM_Get_Device_IDA CM_Get_Device_IDW CM_Get_Device_ID_ExA CM_Get_Device_ID_ExW CM_Get_Device_ID_ListW CM_Get_Device_ID_List_SizeW CM_Get_Parent CM_Get_Parent_Ex CM_Get_Sibling CM_Get_Sibling_Ex CM_Locate_DevNodeA CM_Locate_DevNodeW CM_Open_Class_KeyA CM_Set_DevNode_Problem_Ex CM_Setup_DevNode_Ex

Just a guess; but I would assume one should use "odd with odd" and "even with even" since the releases apparently have slightly different functionality. Try Update 191 with a 151 install, and Update 192 with a 152 install. If these work you could then try Update 192 with a 151 install, and if it fails then it would confirm my suspicion.

I was recently on a tour to Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant and saw some PCs running XP
