You shouldn't have done this... The history...

I'm able to use it on Windows Me + KernelEx and KernelEx extensions but I had to downgrade sunmscapi.dll to an older version that doesn't have an ncrypt.dll dependency. I also didn't install it but unpacked the zip and then did run jar files with it (java (or javaw) -jar whatever.jar). I've tested it running Pixelitor and Burp Suite as an HTTPS proxy for Opera for an entire session without a problem. I imagine that if I can run it on Me there must be ways to run it on XP too even if it doesn't out of the box.

I cannot confirm, IE9 update worked on my x86 installation. Since no one posted the June and July update list yet, here we go:

because almost all changes were included in my last build.

Hi... thank you accepted me here im from kuala lumpur malaysia

Greetings from Ireland. Two weeks ago I binned my Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installation disks that were at the back of a drawer in the garage. That'll give you an idea of how old I am, and of how reluctant I am to part with my IT relics. Looking forward to learning a few new tricks.

hello again. i finally figured out what the problem was with all these browsers running on my xp64 machine. i talked to the person who did the updated acpi.sys and apparently i needed an updated hal.dll to go along with it, there is a timing issue in windows xp on the recent intel chipsets, he sent me the new hal.dll and all the browsers work perfectly now. thought id mention it again here in case anyone else has the problem in the future.

Azul OpenJDK I guess but U262 builds aren't online yet. Hopefully I can run it as good as U252 and can use Opera 12 with TLS 1.3 on Win ME via Burp.

I'm having listserv flashbacks!

I much prefer running Firefox ESR versions on Win7 and I want to update manually whenever I want and not on Firefox's schedule I disable auto-updates for Firefox using a policies.json file that contains "DisableAppUpdate": true

Since Windows 98 browsers now have problems connecting to YouTube without jumping through extra hoops, primitive YouTube search functionality was added directly to the 9xweb script. This will allow the user to query YouTube for 'Trending' results or a custom search (eg. 'DOS games'). The video titles are dumped to screen in 9xweb's command.com window, select the video you want to add to clipboard, then use 9xweb as normal. Not interested in wasting a lot of time on this so [c]ache is limited to the last search performed, replaced by a new search. First page search results dumped to screen typically number 20-30 titles depending on the query, and a 'YouTube Trending' search usually fetches 85 results. The 'less' command, similar to DOS's 'more', is used when the list exceeds command.com window rows, so results can be scrolled (up/down arrow, page up/down, [q]uit to exit 'less'). Will resist the urge to add additional cache, search history, next page type functionalities. It's all possible but takes effort and time. Since hardly anyone is using this script anyway, it's just a hobby project and future YouTube changes could cause it to fail anytime. If internet bandwidth is an issue consider any/all when using 9xweb: - Set video quality to 640 x 360 - Set a 5 - 10 second Wget preview to determine if the video is worth the bandwidth - End search query with ' ,short' (space comma short) for < 4 minute duration videos Hopefully YouTube, forum members and forum admin will be okay with this. If an objection is received, at least this component of the 9xweb project will be abandoned (took snapshot before adding search). Will upload work in progress screenshots shortly and release script after some test and polish.

Maybe someone should start a new thread "Community builds for XP" or something like that. That would make it much easier to find the new builds.

Hi siria. Thanks again for more information. Thus far the 9xweb script is working quite well without any of the workarounds. No User Agent string has been specified for the Wget executable, thus far churning nicely, even without adding '&disable_polymer=1' to any YouTube destination URLs. The next 9xweb release will, however, have the updated Googlebot User Agent string plus the polymer addendum noted in the comments section, in case it's required for a future release. Just did some quick testing, checked the first 10 hits in YouTube Trending (https://www.youtube.com/feed/trending). Eight out of ten videos were successfully retrieved, although one required the assistance of keepvid[dot]works. So 9xweb is batting 70%, keepvid[dot]works helped out a bit and the two that failed outright i believe were VEVO music videos. So just like mentioned before, it really depends on what you want out of YouTube. If you're looking for informative videos, retro computing and gaming, etc the success percentage should exceed 70%. If you just want to watch the latest pop/rock type videos, not so good. Note adding '&disable_polymer=1' to the failed YouTube URLs did not make a difference for either 9xweb or keepvid[dot]works. Think the next release will incorporate keepvid[dot]works as a USER CONFIG variable, that will ask the user if they want to open a new keepvid[dot]works tab in the configured web browser for videos that fail with the dreaded 'ERROR: 403 Forbidden'. With any luck keepvid[dot]works will be able to update their site to keep up with YouTube's changes. To me using 9xweb first, then keepvid[dot]works as a fallback is preferable, as 9xweb: - Auto-names the MP4 file - Provides playback preview - Allows viewing the video description 1.

I've been following the Otter project for a long time, after being a total fanatic for Presto Opera 12, still the best browser ever IMO. I still have it installed, and still use it on Windows 98! Along with many others I was absolutely gutted when it was suddenly abandoned in favour of yet another Chromium clone. Otter works well, and supports XP, but as you say its development is extremely slow, I suspect because it's now virtually a one man project.

'Navigator' as 'Neptune Navigator' just sounds perfect IMO. Reminds me of Netscape, Neps, and it rolls off the tongue very nicely.
