Opera.exe is less than 1MB of which nearly 90% are icons whereas opera.dll is nearly 15MB, all the browser code is in the dll.

It fixed on v3.0a. check update.inf :3

Regarding the title of this thread, something just occurred to me: once you've installed all the updates you intend to, now would be a good time to make a full system backup. That way, if you ever need to restore, you'll be able to restore a fully-patched system and not have to worry about whether Windows Update still works for XP.

If, instead, MS nuked Windows 10 with extreme prejudice and released 7 SP2, 8 SP1 and 8.1 SP1, the world would become a wonderful place.

Only regsvr32 MSI.DLL should be enough to fix a small KB4494528 problem.

... Using more than one content-blockers at the same time is inadvisable : https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#note-for-all-browsers More is... less in this case; uBlock Origin and Adguard are both competent in what they do, so choose the one or the other (I use the - Russian made - Adguard solution in my Yandex Browser (17.6.0) copy and I find it can satisfactorily replace uB0 ). Just my two (euro)cents, of course...

regsvr32 MSI.DLL regsvr32 MSIHND.DLL regsvr32 MSISIP.DLL

This is a very interesting idea and it would be really nice to see this working. This is also a huge undertaking, so I wonder if it would possible to make this a collective effort. Surely this would benefit countless enthusiasts, would it not?

Found a problem (don't know if I'd call it a bug, but it's a problem for me): the installer uses wget, and wget doesn't use system proxy settings. As a result, downloads fail on my work PC and I just get an empty folder. (Of course I can download the "old-fashioned" way just fine, since my browsers do use system proxy settings.) Luckily there's a simple workaround, by setting some environment variables. The following batch file does the trick for me: set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8079 set https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8079 "Roytam Browser Installer.exe" Of course, others will need to change the http/s_proxy settings according to their own needs. (Actually I think the installer just uses http, so the set https_proxy line probably isn't needed; but just in case....) HTH

EoS is nothing more than End of Support... XP Forever!

There is some occasional audio choppiness that I'm getting with the built-in decoder. I chalked it up to the typically horrible Road Runner connection but if it's the codec it's still far better than plugin-container, which I have always found to be far worse and unreliable. There's a huge playback difference between the two decoders with some other sites besides youtube. This one for example: https://globalnews.ca/ The prime time plugin is unbelievably choppy and unusable while the built-in decoder renders smoothly. It probably comes down to each person's system configuration and the processing power of their computer.

Strangely, on one of my PC's, those prefs were already present and defaulted to 2. Also the one I mentioned, media.gmp-eme-adobe.visible, was already present and defaulted to true. So all I had to do on that PC was update Serpent/Moebius and Primetime automagically appeared. Edit: Scratch that. I had downloaded the wrong update! Turns out Serpent/UXP has all three prefs set by default; thus you wouldn't ordinarily have them as user prefs. That explains why, when you migrate your user prefs to Serpent/Moebius, they aren't set and need to be set after migration. (BTW, this is one of the advantages of an installer. Makes it easier to download the correct version into the correct directory.) A while ago there were some reports of problems with the built-in decoder. IIRC the biggest problem was distorted audio. Sometimes a simple user-agent spoof would fix it by causing the site to use a different codec, so Primetime wasn't always needed. @roytam1 has been good about keeping the built-in media libraries up-to-date on Moebius, so maybe that audio issue has passed.

ICYMI: IOW, with his latest updates to Serpent/Moebius, you can now install the Adobe Primetime CDM and use it for HTML5 video, instead of Serpent's built-in support. You may want to try this if you run into issues with the built-in support, such as distorted audio. If you "cheated" like I did and copied your Serpent/UXP profile over to Serpent/Moebius, and had Primetime installed on UXP, you're probably 90% of the way home. All you need to do is recreate the media.gmp-eme-adobe.visible boolean pref and set it to true. Primetime should appear in about:addons since the other prefs from your UXP install should still be there. Of course, if it doesn't work, check all the prefs mentioned in the Primetime thread. As with UXP, you'll need to set media.ffvpx.enabled to false to force Moebius to use Primetime for HTML5; otherwise Moebius will use its built-in support by default.
