StartAllBack 3.4.4

I am now working on stabilizing some 32 bit functions and the installer. Kernelol will be finally discontinued.

The well-known file archiver 7-Zip has been updated. The latest version 22.00 from 15-06-2022 still supports Windows XP. Download link of 32 Bit version: https://7-zip.org/a/7z2200.exe Download link of 64 Bit version: https://7-zip.org/a/7z2200-x64.exe Cheers, AstroSkipper

No, just use the unattend option. Win7-11-Select.xml will let you skip all question during setup, including online account creation.

Yes, I can confirm this for the latest New Moon 28 build (20220625). I wanted to download the latest WinSCP version and was wondering that nothing happened after clicking "Save File" -> "OK" within the download dialogue. Then I tried my own page (soggi.org) to download a file - again nothing happened. So I switched back to NM28 (20220618) and everything works fine with downloading files. @roytam1 please have a look at this! kind regards soggi

Yeah, I totally agree with you. 360Chrome seems to be history soon, and tragically, that is a very sad thing. Anyway, I put all my hopes in Mypal 68. Quotation of Feodor2 from the issue #95 at GitHub: Cheers, AstroSkipper

logging into anything at this point isn't such a good idea because they all demand your phone number . I certainly could give them one of many sim cards I bought at the nearest train station from the albanian gastarbeiters , but I just don't want to bother myself with entering codes , not willing to give up my location with the gps , etc.

Yeah, me thinks we've seen the last of 360 development. Too bad, a pity, just when I (sort of) got the hang of it. I'm going to hang on to Arctic Foxie V11 as long as its still working, but, honestly, I'm unsure that logging into anything at this point is such a good idea with it ... though, could also be said the same about using XP in 2022. For us still on XP, looks like we're back to mozilla based browsers unless somebody decides to back port something. Besides, the author hasn't really been participating in the 360 threads as much lately. Such hard work that went into it and everyone was soo excited, now, its not longer the 'talk of the town'. Lol =P Great browser and still hope they don't give up on it. EDIT: Which reminds me.. What's the best thing about being paranoid ... you always think you're the talk of the town. Ha!!

Thanks, I tried a few timezone spoofing extensions, and they all say my timezone and date and time are correct. None of them made any difference to the history discrepancy. I had mentioned it to @NotHereToPlayGames/ArcticFoxie a while ago, and he thought it was just a bug, which I guess isn't ever going to be fixed.

As said, already reported. It looks as if the flag images are simply missing, everything else is working. Perhaps they come from an external server which is down at the moment.

@VistaLover

@Dave-H First, a big hello and hope you're doing well... How I wish I, too, were in the UK, to enjoy the Glastonbury coverage in the telly/iPlayer... Anyhow, I'm sorry I have to summon your "administrator" powers , but do you have the slightest on the fate of members' FLAGS? Since yesterday, they no longer display (to the immediate left of member's username), however their "placeholder" seems to still be there, along with the tooltip when that placeholder is hovered on:

Is this what was causing performance issues with certain sites? I've been using Serpent 52 all day yesterday and today and it's worked wonderfully with no UI slow downs or sticking. Granted it's not as fast as the newer versions but given it is older technology it still works well enough with the recent updates, at least in my experience. The hardware specs can sometimes make all the difference.

I'm trying the latest New Moon 28 (win32) and the dowloads are broken. No menu at all if you want to save a single image, for example. Can someone confirm this too? Serpent 52 (win32), same problem...

With regards to @roytam1 and @feodor2, I appreciate their builds very much. I'm sure just about everyone else here does too...they've played a big role in maintaining modern & reliable browsers for our daily use. The fact that they still support XP is an incredible bonus, and I definitely don't take that for granted as a longtime XP user. Funnily enough, there was a time when I was sticking with Feodor's builds because Roy's were updated 'too frequently', and after that there was a time when I switched over to Roy's builds because Feodor's weren't updated 'frequently enough'. Now I use browsers by both of them, and enjoy them considerably. The important thing to remember is that Roy's builds tend to be weekly or bi-weekly snapshots of where a particular code base is currently at from a maturity standpoint, while Feodor's builds (at least when he was still working with MCP code) follow the release schedule of the official browsers. It doesn't make one inherently superior or inferior to the other...it just means their approaches are different. I've never had any issues with either of them--in fact, if I'm not mistaken, there have been times when Feodor and Roy both mutually benefited from each other's work and helped one another. For all we know, Roy might end up helping Feodor with MyPal 68 & future MyPal versions, and Feodor might end up helping Roy too. Actually, I find it quite interesting to go back in the archives and try older versions of some of Roy's browsers...if you go check the gpc/files1.rt section at his website, he has an incredible treasure trove of 'alternative' browsers and other cool stuff. Early experimental builds of Serpent and New Moon, classic browsers updated with TLS 1.2 & even NSS patches to add TLS 1.2 support to older browsers open up a world of possibilities. Currently, I'm using MyPal 29.3, both the NHTPG and Humming Owl ungoogled builds of 360EEv11, and a recent Serpent 55 build. I also use other browsers (Roy's Firefox 3.6, RetroZilla and Phoenix with added TLS 1.2, Netscape 9 with updated NSS, Opera 12.18, QtWeb, etc.) for more lightweight browsing. Using a Classilla (Nokia N90) user agent keeps them quite viable even in 2022, even if their rendering capabilities are dated by today's standards...with other user agents, there are a lot of possibilities for experimentation. And of course, the vintage Geocities/Angelfire-era sites render with no problems...TheOldNet, 68k.news & FrogFind are truly amazing. I don't expect even Roy's newest build of Serpent 52/55 or New Moon 28 to be able to view every site...some, like DeepL, are starting to run into problems, but I wouldn't abandon them as lost causes just because not every site works 100% correctly. I care more about a code base being fundamentally solid, stable and reliable than anything else, and that is very true of Roy's browsers. Feodor was able to prove that he didn't need MCP code to make a good browser, and I think his 'resurrected' MyPal is quite fantastic. Roy's also done one hell of a job in maintaining mature code bases for his own browser builds. I believe we can appreciate Feodor without putting Roy down, and appreciate Roy without putting Feodor down...they've both gone above and beyond the call of duty to maintain reliable browser code bases, and by fortunate extension sustain the long-term usability of XP long after many mainstream companies started leaving XP users in the dust. Too many old computers end up in landfills...because of their work, a lot of computers that would have otherwise ended up at a dump are still in daily use (including the Pentium D-based machine that I use on a daily basis--the 'average' person would have thrown such a PC out by now, often because they'd see the 'Designed for MS Win XP' sticker on it & automatically assume it's old, slow, & useless). (I'll stop here before I end up in rant territory, if I haven't gotten there already.) My sincere gratitude to Roy, Feodor, and everyone else here at MSFN! Long live XP and all other great OSes!
