Testing out New Moon 28 - the combination of Nullish Coalescing and Optional Chaining makes the web for sure more operating again as compared to without that 2 so-called "standards" - That's at least a good thing For now at least - as we all know, that Google never is sleeping

Thx for the suggestion for these versions - I'll have a look at it! Have a look at my mirror (link above or in my signature) there are notes about noSSE/SSE(2) for many of @roytam1's browsers. kind regards soggi

Sadly, no idea - as I've posted previously, I don't own a "Smart" device, so Android/iOS aren't able to "outsmart" me ... But I'm sure an online search will get you all the info... It will: Google Extends Chrome Support for Windows 7 Users They have already: Firefox DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)

I'm quite shocked on just how well Serpent is working now with those changes/updates.

Thank you; Roy, Serpent opens all my pdf files as expected (saved pdf files and opens pdfs in webpages).

Sweet! My water bill pay site works again in NM28! As does a Wordle word calculator (this has worked in NM28 but only since 2022-01-07, if my notes are correct [ie, it was not NC and OC that broke this web site]).

libstagefright fix by @roytam1, committed more than two days ago, as a response to a bug report by yours truly : libstagefright: relax ctts flags checking. libstagefright fix by Moonchild ("official" UXP), committed 21 hours ago: No issue - relax ctts flag checking in media/libstagefright MCP's code is almost identical... Conclusion/Question: Is Moonchild now following "roytam1/UXP" ?

this should be fixed: https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/0855ba43d71472178153d6188e64c6a44fa711da

I wouldn't really call it a "speed-up" option. If I understand it, it PRELOADS content based on links in your CURRENT page. So your downloaded bytes go through the roof and you maybe never went away from page one so why enable the browser to load content for page two? Page two loads faster because it loads portions of it before you clicked away from page one.

Well OK, I won't bother messing around with the theme/skin or anything else. If it's bloatware, I don't really care as long as it's not doing anything malicious, I'll just make sure I don't ever activate it again by enabling that speed-up option!

Duran Duran - Astronaut (vinyl) . Yes , I love British music.

No such software that could reduce the amount of blue light coming from LEDs. All it does just plays with RGB values to make it look like somewhat less blue. The problem is any LED emits blue light by itself.

52.0 and 55.0 are working excellent for me as well. Sites like twitter and hotmail would tend to bog the browser down but those issues appear to have been fixed. Well done Moonchild and Roy.

Francis Lai - Aujourd'hui C'est Toi (Heute Du) (FR 1966) Francis Lai - Un Homme Et Une Femme | Soundtrack Suite (FR 1966) Ron Goodwin and His Orchestra - Miss Marple's Theme (UK 1960/1966) Stereo Version

It's not only my water bill. The time is "already here" for me to move on from v11 V11 and v13 score virtually identical as far as javascript speed - blows ALL Mozilla-based browser completely out of the water, out of the sky, out of the asteroid belt.

Agreed. Like he's trying to get by with 256 MB of RAM and wonders why things keep locking up on him.

Disregard. NM28 is vastly INFERIOR and I cannot in good faith "reverse course" and revert to my used-to-be-beloved Mozilla Variants.

Great! Maybe you can add this to the repository!? You mean clone it and put it on GitHub? It's one of those things I mess with once and forget about it, so didn't think it was worth the bother. Pretty much all of my GitHub profile is abandonware anyway. You can put it on your site if you want, it has permissive license.

it's been a while since you, win32, mentioned a new release.. any info about that?

Welcome to MSFN! @Nerdulater

I still use an older version of Zone Alarm ... when it was still just a 'firewall' and nothing else. It is a small download and the free version was very good and easy to set up. It does all the work and then after using it a few times it will know from your input what to do. I have the Pro version on my XP computers now (last 10 yrs or so) but for years the 'free' version was all I needed. The Pro version is really not needed, I just decided to bump up. This was all before Zone Alarm started adding items to their firewall and messed everything up. I have tried several other XP versions of various firewalls over the last eight years or so but ZoneAlarm 4.5.594.0 is still the easiest to use and understand. This web site seems to still have this old version from around 2003 / 2004 ... and a search should find some others also. http://www.oldversion.com/windows/zonealarm-4-5-594-0 Other early versions: http://www.oldversion.com/windows/zonealarm/ ...

because someone else reported in their forum: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=28405 and for obvious reason, he rewrote the commit in his own words (maybe based on my comment but I don't actually know) if the reporter is viewing this thread, I would like to say: please tell MCP to support HEVC, Opus, and FLAC in MPEG4Extractor in libstagefright as well! if applicable, then yes.

If Moon Child was following ray tam then why isn't the commit identical? Also, looks like M.A.T is keep pace: https://code.binaryoutcast.com/projects/aura-central/commits/TRUNK Will updates from him be added to BNavigator and others?

Hello all. Today, with a lot of effort, I managed to get WUv5 to check for updates. Unfortunately, it looks like some files need to be renamed and assigned. This is currently only a test. This time I did not download the files with the wayback machine downloader, but I bought the files from a website. Have a look for yourselves:

To surf anonymously , to get an IP from another country or to gain access to sites which are restricted in my country I use paid VPN services with no log policy. I try to trust them. And so far I am very happy with that. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I've got new Reddit's View Entire Discussion button working. The expressions I wrote to set the resulting variables made from matching regex function call was totally wrong, should be: const s=t.match(i), o=!s||null==s[1]?void 0:s[1], r=!s||null==s[2]?void 0:s[2]; Instead of... const s=t.match(i), o=null===s[1]?void 0:s[1], r=null=== [2]?void 0:s[2]; Now, does Git work on Vista...it does!

Honestly, I just listen to the radio once in a while and it's not commerical radio either. It's the ABC (Australia) NSW Radio. Happy Together is good too

better not to become a tor "exit". I did that in the past and police reached me (thay said that they found my IP uploaded child porn) and checked all my networked machines in an early morning. Several hours later they found nothing and told me not to become an exit or they will come again.

Reminds me of when I was right around 14 years old, I found the hiding place where Santa Clause stored some of our gifts under mom and dad's bed. I found a brand new VCR still in the box. Toted it to my room, opened up the box, grabbed my set of screwdrivers, and I had that thing disassembled into 20-30 pieces within the hour or so it took mom to catch me. She was at a total loss and made me go outside until dad got home from work. Dad gets home and hollers up to the treehouse where I was adding a new level, "Mom says you have something to show me." I climb down and walk him to my room, "I wanted to see how it works." His only reply, "As long as it still works when you put it back together." It did! And not only that, but mom and dad still have it!

They're not needed with @roytam1's Mozilla-based browsers, which have their own up-to-date TLS support built in. So the topic doesn't come up often in this thread. But both IE 8 and Chromium-based browsers use the TLS support built into Windows. The only use case for IE 8 these days is Windows/Microsoft Update and the Update Catalog, but the modern Internet often needs a Chromium-based browser on WinXP (to support the increasingly "Googlized" JavaScript language), yet also cryptographic functions that WinXP doesn't support. Although ProxHTTPSProxy and its brethren were originally designed to use Proxomitron with secure sites, they have the useful side effect of supporting cryptography beyond what WinXP has built in, so you can browse sites that require newer cryptographic functions with Chromium-based browsers. 360EE may be a special case; since it was designed to bring newer Chromium versions to the WinXP platform, it may have more up-to-date TLS support built in. I don't know. That's because you don't know its true purpose. It's been sold as a way to prevent eavesdroppers (including your ISP) from learning what sites you visit, and it does do that; but I believe its true purpose is a bit more sinister. I'm sure lots of folks here have used their "hosts" file to deliberately block telemetry, malware, or advertising servers. It's a simple but often quite effective tactic. There's even a network-wide version of this trick, called a "Pi-Hole," that's a deliberately defective DNS server to block those servers across your entire home network. These tricks have become a concern for the Googles of the world, whose business models rely on collecting our data and serving ads; so much so that some of them are building their own DNS clients into their adware to bypass any such misdirection. The built-in server always goes to the IP address of a well-known DNS server, thus bypassing any hosts file entries, Pi-Holes, or what have you. But that trick can be blocked too - at the router! The router can just be programmed to route requests to, say, 8.8.8.8, over to your local Pi-Hole instead. So the ad servers still get redirected and blocked. That's where Secure DNS comes in. If you redirect Secure DNS requests, the client will know about it, because the certificate will be incorrect. At that point, the client just says, "if I can't connect to my real DNS server, I'm not going to run at all! You either accept my telemetry and ads, or you get nothing! Good day, sir!"

@mockingbird Try replacing "www.reddit.com" in the url with "old.reddit.com"

Not really! There are a lot of programs using IE8 engine to connect to internet. For example some email clients, the update function of some programs and so on. Access to WU or MU is only one area of application. If the system itself has to access an url which needs TLS 1.2 protocol, you have to use one of these proxies system-widely. I thought you read my article "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use". I already described it there in detail. Therefore your statement is not correct. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: BTW I wouldn't have started a thread about these proxies and logically I wouldn't have maintained them if there hadn't been any need to preserve and prepare them for future use. And to access MU or WU two other methods exist too where there is no "need" of these proxies. These methods are described in this post:

A definitive "CloudFlare Browser Check" is trying to log-in to GitLab: https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in BTW, this happens when site admins - who are CF clients - have enabled a feature called "Browser Integrity Check" (BIC) ... CF have recently abolished the CAPTCHA challenges as part of BIC, replacing them with automated checking (JS) scripts, requiring the browser to pass mathematical "challenges"... It was those scripts that were being "racist" towards non-mainstream browsers and thus those browsers (including the UXP ones) were outright denied access to sites CF intend to "protect" from "unwelcome" traffic... That CF issue (please search this thread for more details) finally made it to prominent web sites/forums, not to mention the "loud voices" of some Pale Moon users (to which we owe big thanks ) on CF's Community Forums, so it had to be acknowledged and acted upon by real CF devs... It was "them" who fixed it for us (but some more "obscure" web browsers, like the Qt-based Otter Browser, are reported to still suffer from this "racism" ) ... OT: @Dave-H : Do you, hopefully, know what happened to https://thedndsanctuary.eu/ that used to post invaluable info about the Otter Browser ?

I just updated from New Moon 28.10.5a1 to 28.10.6a1 (64-bit on XP x64) and noticed it can now pass the Cloudflare browser check! This is reaaaally helpful for my partly web-based primary workflow, so if anything you did made this work, roytam1, you have my sincere thanks!

Using a custom autounattend.xml file is another fairly simple way to to install Windows 11 on "unsupported" hardware. Placing the answer file, below, in the Root of your Windows 11 install medium will bypass the checks for Trusted Platform Module or TPM, Secure Boot and memory and storage requirements. The answer file will also create a "Main" user whose name and password you are encouraged to change. You must also search for the KMS key for your windows version and substitute it for every instance of "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-3V66T" in this file. Other modification you may or may not wish to use are annotated in the file script comments, e.g. <!-- COMMENT-->. NOTE: You still must do disk partitioning and formatting prior to installing Windows. But if you create PID.txt and ei.cfg files and place them in the Windows "sources" folder on your install medium, Windows 11 setup should otherwise not require user input. <!--************************************************* REV: 04/24/2022 LOCATION: MILKY WAY USER: XXXXXX NOTES: Admin Windows 11 Answer File RETAIL KMS: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-3V66T OVER VERSION'S KMS: https://winaero.com/windows-11-generic-keys-for-all-editions Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/unattend https://www.elevenforum.com/t/sharing-some-helpful-answer-files-to-bypass-win-11-setup-requirements-and-more.3300 http://www.windowsafg.com **************************************************--> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <!--Language--> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <!--Skip Trusted Platform Module / Secure Boot Check--> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassSecureBootCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassRAMCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>5</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassCPUCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>4</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassStorageCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> <UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>MainUser</FullName> <Organization>Default</Organization> <!-- OEM Installer Product ID Key.

and a fix is pushed. https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/d9f1118729a59ba99e48e2296bd71c73934a7b62

Cleaned (i.e., adware/spyware removed) versions of the "Chinese thing" are available at https://gitlab.com/cleanflash/installer/-/releases/ Note: Gh-wc-polyfill v1.2.19 is now required for gitlab.com to work, so install that first. Should install without modification on St 52; due to version numbering differences between PM and NM, NM 28 will require modifying install.rdf in the .xpi file (which is actually just a .zip file with a different extension). Edit: I now recommend Palefill v1.20 (link is to @AstroSkipper's version) over Gh-wc-polyfill. Works with more sites and is compatible with all of @roytam1's UXP browsers without modification. (Modifying install.rdf is still required for Serpent 55, which is not UXP-based.)

Not a bad idea! It's up to you which versions you want to make available, but my recommendations would be 32.0.0.371 (last version without "time bomb") 29.0.0.171 (last version that doesn't require SSE2) 10.3.183.90/11.1.102.55 (last ESR and last regular version for vanilla Win2K) 9.0.289.0 (last version for vanilla Win98) 8.0.42.0 (last version for NT 4.0) 7.0.73.0 (last version for Win95 [and NT 3.51 with some effort]) Alternatively, for Flash 7, you could also (with his permission) mirror Nathan Lineback's custom hex-edited Flash 7 "YouTube Spoofer" that disguises itself as 8.0.42.0 (and will be recognized by browsers as Flash 8) and include it alongside the 7.0.73.0 installer (the idea being that a user would install Flash 7 as normal, then overwrite the NPSWF32.dll file with Nathan's version). Though it no longer serves the purpose it was designed for on YouTube, it can be helpful for some rare sites that reject Flash 7 and expect at least Flash 8 (a surprisingly high number of which are still available to this day and can be found by simply searching for "this site requires Flash 8"). My apologies if I've gone off-topic here...I'll try to keep my posts relevant as much as possible!

I was the first who posted about how to hex edit the DLL one way to extend the date, at least on MSFN. Didn't know about that project though...just hex-edited my DLL and forgot about it. FlashPatch! doesn't run on XP, but most of it can be made to run with small modifications. FlashPatch_NetFx4.zip FlashPatch_NetFx4_src.zip I threw out some unreferenced namepaces from .csproj file, commented out update checking function and fixed another error related to retrieving HRESULT code from Exception object occurring when accessing it directly on older .NET version, then it compiles on XP using .NET Framework 4's bundled tools: cd <path\to\FlashPatch\folder> C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe FlashPatch.csproj /p:Configuration=Release

Yes, supposedly there is - https://www.thewindowsclub.com/usb-port-remains-active-even-after-using-safely-remove-hardware The official article regarding this appears to have been removed. It's because these LED backlights burn you retina. Try to find a CCFL monitor. Or purchase blue light blocking eyeglasses , at least. Regarding blue light, there's also f.lux and similar software.

This thread is about Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP. You can update your Root Certificates automatically by using the Certificate Updater 1.6 or manually by using the Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater of 02/24/2022 created by me in section Downloads It works perfectly and is intended to keep your system as recent as possible regarding your Root Certificates. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

some 6th gen cpus matches performance of 8th gen intel cpu and that requiment is artificial by for needing that TPM chip for no good reason. I know Windows 11 been running fine on 2007 dual xeon board since @Dave-H mentioned from it on another topic. Whole system requiment thing is to milk off more from users
