K-Meleon 74 with Goanna 2.2 archive refreshed with sha384 support: http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/KM74-g22-20180718.win2000.7z pm26 archive also refreshed: http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/palemoon-26.5.0-20180718.win2000.7z

Thank-you roytam1 and rn10950 for your good work. After extensive testing there is no doubt RetroZilla is the most capable browser for vanilla Windows 98 at this time. Hopefully there will be a new build in the not so distant future. Please consider the additional cipher information link if a new build is planned. Developers are welcome to incorporate all or parts of the RetroZilla Search Engine Collection into new builds. Both the RetroZilla Extensions Collection and NoScript extension links contain extensions tested to work well in RetroZilla v2.2, should rn10950 populate the proposed repository at https://rn10950.github.io/RetroZillaWeb/extensions.html.

just refreshed my KM74g archive with sha384 support.

I'm just able to avoid Rust getting into binary, and too many Win7+ changes come atop of the codebase, the progress has been stuck since last screenshot on win7 posted.

@msfntor: Session Tickets exist for performance, not for security. If enabled, they avoid renegotiating TLS for every HTML download from a given server. But it was recently discovered that they can be abused for tracking you. Thus Pale Moon (and thence New Moon) have them disabled by default. If you want to enable them, you'll have to toggle pref security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers to false in about:config. But you'll make it a little easier for the Goog to track you online.

I wouldn't hold my breath for FF 57 for XP (it's Quantum), but FF 56 might be possible. He has to figure out how to deal with the Rust framework on XP, which ain't easy, but he has made some progress....

archive updated with sha256 and sha384 support.

a pull request about enabling aes128-gcm-sha256 in pref has been created. https://github.com/rn10950/RetroZilla/pull/40 and also NSS code changes for support SHA384 have their own pull request: https://github.com/rn10950/RetroZilla/pull/38

Thank you, - I've set now New Name, boolean, in Moebius 55. Some relevant Firefox documentation, for the curious... which links to the corresponding Bugzilla bug number: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=967977

My overall idea is that name should indicate newcomers what what we are talking about (modern browser, that originates from branched Firefox long time ago) and what are most visible feature that makesit stand out (compatibility with older OSes and hardware). My proposals were rejected. There were some others that indicated that. I particularly liked SSEfox

safebrowsing: Read previous explanations... VistaLover said: > It is currently only relevant to FirefoxESR 45.9.x & Serpent 55/Moebius forks > and it's still present in (forked) Moebius => In NM/PM not contained at all => do nothing, just forget about it. (Perhaps a mod may split this?)

@3dreal: There's often some offtopic stuff in roytam's topic here, but this prob of yours is getting so very long now, LOTS of posts about a completely different subject, please consider making an own topic for it! And no need to google about safebrowsing, it's all just directly in this very topic already: on this page and the 2 previous ones, you definitely have just read it, so your confusing starts getting slightly weird... What safebrowsing is about, by VistaLover: https://msfn.org/board/topic/180462-my-browser-builds-part-2/?do=findComment&comment=1175789 And Kitaro's screenshot with the prefs, you even quoted this image yourself just 5 hours ago! https://msfn.org/board/topic/180462-my-browser-builds-part-2/?do=findComment&comment=1175859 By default safebrowsing is OFF anyway, but just in case, open about:config and in the filter line type "safebrowsing". Check that everything is set to "false".

It was fake news :3 I analyzed it, he uses Windows 7. http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1992632.html

I doubt the OS version has much to do with it as long as it'll run ffmpeg, handbrake, or whatever. What you really need (especially if you're transcoding and not just remuxing) is a fast CPU with lots of RAM. Which work machines are more likely to have than home ones....

Bruninho said: > This helps users to choose the right browser version. Mcinwwl said: > Only for the nerdiest, windows codenames are not common knowledge. Arctic Foxie said: > These forked browsers in-and-of-themselves are "not common knowledge" and "only for the nerdiest". But IMO they should not. Quite the opposite. They are a blessing for humanity, and should benefit as many freedom loving people as possible. The various voices in this forum who strive to keep the userbase of such improved browsers as LOW as any possible, wanting to reserve their use to be just fun TOYS for experts who run them in a virtual retro machine on their (of course) modern main systems, make me wonder sometimes. About the purpose of such goals. Strongly disagree of course. And find it rather unfair to tell all people who don't have great expert skills themselves, who are floating somewhere along the vast spectrum between "geek" and "lemming", to just go and jump off the cliff with the other lemmings, regardless how strongly they fight to escape into the opposite direction (and make me wonder about the goal of keeping the userbase intentionally as tiny as possible.) What a pity :-( Arctic Foxie said: https://msfn.org/board/topic/180462-my-browser-builds-part-2/?do=findComment&comment=1175805 > "msfntor" - I would kindly suggest that your browsing needs are not the targeted audience for these forked browsers. > What you "need" is Win10 and everything Win10 has to offer. > WinXP "today" really should be considered as "Linux" - a niche audience that is NOT for "everybody". (and various other posts occasionally in this forum, by various people) (Disclaimer: my favorite browser KM needs so many little tweaks for normal use, that in this state it really rather requires users who like fiddling, and a lot of it. So have told one or two times myself to newbies who aren't aware of that yet, that they'd be happier with a mainstream browser. But things are much different with browsers like NewMoon, which are a lot more mainstream suitable, and much easier to use and extend.)

(Content Removed , Nothing of RT Browser value either)

Oh my God, am I turning into a Matt A. Tobin clone?

Happy new year everyone .

The patched version of EE 360 browser has preference for displaying sites in Russian. How do I force it to English? Relevant items in Settings page seem to be missing. Edit: found solution. 360Chrome\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences With text editor, look for "accept_languages" Flip language order like: "accept_languages": "en-US,en,ru-RU,ru" Clear cookies or start with new Portable if sites are still RU.

My update repository is only applicable to Windows 8.0, but I use Windows 8.1 on my daily desktop machine, so I can brief you in how to stay up to date and avoid any undesirable effects . Since you stopped updating in 2017, it should be easy to bring your system up to date again. You'll need: Servicing Stack: KB4524445 (http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/secu/2019/11/windows8.1-kb4524445-x64_a8a5b5fd641b016e8ee0636c1dde808e98656d3a.msu) Monthly Rollup: KB4530702 (http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/secu/2019/12/windows8.1-kb4530702-x64_8a3d5f3eb996149590805699de1e65c37c57a5f1.msu) Flash Player: KB4516115 (http://download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/secu/2019/09/windows8.1-kb4516115-x64_0d9f83c866638da6434b4f93779faf007d00c774.msu) .NET Framework Updates (I don't know which version of .NET you have installed on your system. By default, Windows 8.1 only has .NET 4.5.2. It's possible to enable .NET 3.5 and install .NET 4.8. I'll leave a link to the latest Security and Quality Rollup) Well, all updates apart from the Servicing Stack are uninstallable, unless you run /resetbase with Dism. The Servicing Stack update is not uninstallable because it updates core servicing components of Windows 8.1. It's perfectly safe to update, with no issues reported. The biggest offender in terms of unwanted side effects are the Monthly Rollups. By default they install telemetry components and enable CPU mitigations that slow down performance. Of course, there are workarounds to these issues. In terms of CPU mitigations, they can be disabled by importing this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "FeatureSettingsOverride"=dword:00000003 "FeatureSettingsOverrideMask"=dword:00000003 And the telemetry can be disabled by following this guide on Askwoody: https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/2000012-neutralize-telemetry-sustain-win-7-8-1-monthly-rollup-model/ This is what I use on my system, and I'm very happy with the results. Mind you, I use a Ryzen CPU, so I also need to have this installed to bypass the Windows Update block MS implemented. Hope this helps

Throughout time, the number of processes to support my empty desktop, with my favorite tweaks and "to work" software: XP: High teens. 100 MB. Vista: 30 or so. 800 MB. Win 7: 34. 1 GB. Win 8.1: 42. 1.2 GB. Win 10: 120. 4 GB. 3x the processes prior versions had to rock, just to get anything done. Says it all right there. No wonder it really doesn't seem to run any better on modern hardware than prior versions did on the best hardware of 7 years ago. And you can't really trim it down any more, for several reasons. Back when we thought Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.1 were bloated, we simply didn't know what True Bloat was. -Noel

You may want to get @roytam1's Serpent 52 from the XP forum, and also use @heinoganda's Cert_Updater_v1.6 to give XP the latest security certificates.

It looks like the oldest version of iTunes for Windows that is fully supported by the iTunes Store is now 12.6.5 (see can't authorize my computer error -50 and error 0x80090302), which of course does not support any OS older than Windows 7. So yes, I also think this is the end for Vista and XP: iTunes for Windows is now just bloated playback software. I'm keeping my installation anyway, but recommend VLC 3.0.8.
