Updated links in first post. Ungoogled and Regular. Regular restores Chrome Web Store and Translate to English. Both versions remove context menu "share" entries, resolve English translation when deleting favorites subfolder from bookmark bar, remove "mobile" bookmark context menu entries, think that's all of the changes.

Here are some screenshots of it in action

@WinWord2000 I can't help but think that Windows XP had diverged considerably away from Windows 2000 once SP3 was issued. This thread is specifically not concerning Windows 2000, as its title states. Stay on topic here please, and if necessary start your own thread about this in the Windows 2000 section. You can put links here to it, and hopefully you will get relevant input to it from the contributors here.

Forget YouTube, try Piped - https://piped.kavin.rocks/ - one of the alternative front-ends. If you'll wait for official YouTube site to work smoothly on UXP, you'll probably wait a looooong time in best case scenario and TBH, you can feel the YT interface being a bit of a slug even on Chromium on newer computers.

I actually said that an image in one of your other posting showed as blank, not that your entire post was blank. And I already saw the image by my little element inspecting. I bet it's one of uBlock Origin's default filters, at least it was in my case.

Right, this personal bickering has gone on long enough, again! If you want the 'reputation' system changed, I suggest that you PM @xper who is the owner of this forum. It will not be changed without his decision. This thread is now locked.

Since mentions of alternative front-ends for sites like YouTube, Twitter, Reddit etc. are appearing randomly on the forum and finding them again is a PITA, I'm leaving a link here with a list of such sites. https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

The simple answer is to not replace anything in the \Program Files\360Chrome\Chrome\User Data folder. Ignore the User Data folder which comes with the new build, that's just an 'empty' profile for first time users. That has never failed me!

This year just keeps being awful. Had no idea of the weight of the baggage he was carrying. May he rest in peace.

I'm most happy right here in silence with my peace Lilly. The weekend was peaceful (and rainy). To be fair, some customers are OK, but they seem to be a minority. @msfntor That site where the images originate shows "access denied" page here.

That's a pain. I wonder how do they feel after hugging a cactus.

trees are very nice to hug especially palmtrees nice and warm and inviting (newer hug a cactus thou ouch!)-legacyfan

OK., "Why" was a typo. Mina says it correctly: "what kind of tree?" Good, Mina!

1 tree... you're exaggerating Mina, you're kidding! ...Wouldn't it be better to walk in a forest... of fir trees, pine trees... and breathe in their magnificent scent?..and admire the squirrels for example? Red squirrels preferably. And see the lions from a distance?. Don't get too close, don't touch. Tell me what animals you have in your forest Times are getting very hard. In the past, the biggest punishment for children was to keep them at home - and now to cut off the internet, take them outside, to let them breathe the fresh air! Mina you have to turn off the internet for your own good. Go outside, admire your tree, then look for squirrels in the forest. This will make you feel good, very happy, I swear.

Oh I'm aware, I stuck with desktop site to be able to tinker with it with other scripts. BTW, the preference for mobile/desktop site can be stored in a cookie with a bunch of other data, user agent just establishes the default selection. I put together a script some time ago to switch between desktop/mobile, this one still works. https://gist.github.com/UCyborg/754fe319866a7f126ec1d074ed922b37/raw/YouTube_layout_config.user.js I can sort of work with regular YouTube desktop site as long as I don't use it on my low-end laptop and don't do multiple YouTube tabs.

For many months now, for youtube I've used this SSUAO in St52: general.useragent.override.youtube.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 5.0.2; SAMSUNG SM-A500FU Build/LRX22G) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Gecko/20111216 Firefox/9.0 Fennec/9.0 It loads the mobile version of youtube pages and it's much more lenient on resources ; takes a bit of getting used to, but it's overall OK... Main caveat being you can't move the player marker to the right (to skip parts of the video), at least I haven't found a way to myself... Basically affects long videos, only ...

I'm most happy right here in silence with my peace Lilly. Why kind of tree? I feel connection to oak.

Wait, for real? I never talked with him personally as far as I remember, but for the short year or two I've been on this site, I've seen him *everywhere*. I didn't even know anything was wrong. Definitely did a lot and I pray him and his family peace.

Wow! I'm stunned. I thought it had been awhile since we had heard from him. I have to agree with @Sampei.Nihiram in that we're hearing a lot of sad and stunning news lately. These announcements increasinly take the wind out of you. Above all, I appreciate dencorso's help over the years with tech questions. My condolences to those here who knew him best.

When you're ready, that is why I advice slowly, and you know its coming from the heart as I'm struggling as well. Keep wishing and desire to go out even if you can't, but I thought you said you had agoraphobia and that means irrational fear (Yes, I admit it, but I also can deal right now and need repair myself (self) before I include people).

Yes, had the exact happening here, I was able to fix it by going to "th.bing.com" from the logger, then to "Static filter" tab, then setting the "network requests of type "image"" of "th.bing.com" from "Block" to "Allow", then clicking on "Create", and reloaded the page. The image then loaded fine for me now.

Well, deleted these images and downloaded similar one.. it's better for you?

I have a friend of a friend who repesents me as a friend of my friend.

Nah, I am not.

Thanks.

Lol !!!

Yep correct but all the updates either dont even download or install properly because almost all updates from microsoft their servers are deleted so basically the next step is to host a cabpool for installing all the updates you know @WULover is also making great progress on v4 he even has an lead for the results.asp page

You could try to replace www.youtube.com with music.youtube.com , but some videos won't start with this.

Thank you - working well as expected :)

Fair enough, but my comments still stand. This is in the Windows XP section of the forum. Windows 2000 has its own section, please use it.

thanks for the ungoogled and the regular version. everything working as expected. ( using regular ) rebuild my profile for this one. are there plans on removing the avatar in future builds or does it have a function ? quote from the extreme-explorer-360-chromium-78-86-general-discussion topic : "2 MB login resources have been removed (which also removed Avatar context menu [may bring it back in a later rebuild to use as dropdown for chrome URLs])" don't think anyone uses this and it would remove all chinese from your version. also "less resources" sounds like a good idea.

I'm just going to throw this out there with no warranties. For YouTube I've been using a script that replaces the video with its embed version. I originally did this to combat the constantly changing way adverts seem to get delivered but I think it also provides a less resource intensive experience when viewing the video. It's a little clunky. YouTube is extraordinarily aggressive with the way it starts a new video which led me to using the setInterval which waits for the video container to arrive properly before injecting the iframe with the embed. // ==UserScript== // @name Replace Youtube Video // @namespace BenMarkason // @version 1.0 // @description Replaces youtube video with embed video // @author Ben Markson // @include https://www.youtube.com/* // @grant none // @run-at document-start // ==/UserScript== if (location.href.includes('/embed/') == false) { document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { console.log('Blocking Redirect'); window.ytInitialData.onResponseReceivedEndpoints = null; }); t = setInterval(function() { eli = document.getElementById("player-container-outer"); if (eli == null) { console.log('Waiting...'); elj = document.getElementById("movie_player"); if (elj != null) {elj.remove();} return false; } console.log('Element is ready'); clearInterval(t); if (eli.hasChildNodes()) {eli.removeChild(eli.children[0]);} YTiD = location.href.split(/(vi\/|v%3D|v=|\/v\/|youtu\.be\/|\/embed\/)/)[2].split(/[^0-9a-z_\-]/i)[0]; height = getComputedStyle(document.querySelector('.ytd-watch-flexy')).getPropertyValue('--ytd-watch-flexy-min-player-height'); iframe = document.createElement("iframe"); iframe.type = "text/html"; iframe.width = '100%'; iframe.height = height; iframe.src = 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + YTiD; iframe.setAttribute("frameborder", "0"); iframe.setAttribute("allowfullscreen", "true"); eli.appendChild(iframe); }, 100); } It has a small annoyance. If you select a new video from the right-hand bar, the page will change but the embedded video will not. To update the embedded video you will need to refresh the page. Someone more skilled at JavaScript may be able to do a better job. Ben.

After a good night's sleep, I see what the issue is. That link is not direct, but goes through another site, should read like: https://img.picturequotes.com/2/52/51597/how-i-feel-when-my-computer-is-broken-quote-1.jpg

You mean what kind of tree?

God rest his soul

I absolutely hate to hear this. He pinned my topic for me in the Vista subforum a few years ago, and he was always very kind and pleasant to interact with. He will be greatly missed.

Brief Update. So the search for updates in WUv4 works thanks @WinFX again only unfortunately results.asp is missing because it was not archived properly. It redirects to splash.asp?page=3. That means we can't view or install the updates. I think that we will find a solution for this problem. The Update Catalog is the next project. Here some screenshots:

I think (but do not quote me on this) that it may work, though I don't see the actual scope of this replacing of the processor, the notebook has probably a Core i3 or i5, there shouldn't be much difference in speed/performance replacing the original processor with a Pentium 6100, they seem very similar, at least on this comparison: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Core-i3-380M-vs-Pentium-P6100 Maybe if it has a Celeron, there would be some improvement, but I doubt it will be much, if any: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Celeron-P4600-vs-Pentium-P6100 Also the Fujitsu BIOS might be locked to the default processor installed in factory, clock speed of the P6100 seem to be same as the Celeron, but different from i3 and i5. IMHO all in all such an upgrade (which seems more like a same-level-grade) could be risky/problematic (if possible at all) without bearing any noticeable advantage. jaclaz

I'm a bit late to the announcement but this is extremely sad news for me. I credit Den a lot for me becoming a moderator here on MSFN. I still remember he offered the position to me to which I humbly and graciously accepted it. We had some good discussions back and forth and because he was originally into Windows 98 like I was, we easily found common ground that way. Den was a very kind, cordial, and courteous person. When I first heard he was diagnosed with cancer, I was deeply saddened. I lost both my grandparents to cancer and my mother is a cancer survivor, so I don't like cancer very much to say the least. As optimistic as he seemed to be about keeping the cancer at bay, I was really hoping he'd return one day like nothing ever happened. But he'd go months without any sort of an update and that was very worrying to me. Now the worst has happened, but he is at peace now and pain-free, which is the best thing out of a horrible situation like this. Rest in Peace buddy, until we meet again!

WinNTSetup 5.3 Beta 3 - WinCopy: fixed boot files creation in some cases - WinCopy: Volume selection shows needed size - WinCopy: temporary shrink option - WinCopy: added "-shrink" And -"MergeIDE" command line switches - WinCopy: fixed CLI version wrongly reports error - Unattend: Win7-11-Select.xml disables 42 days password expire - MinWin: some fixes for Windows 11 explorer - MinWin: fixed MUI files other than *.mui were removed - MinWin: fixed bootmenu fonts

I am so sad. He was a great person. I knew him since my first days on MSFN, many, many years ago, and besides the public interactions on the board we had a lot of correspondence via PM's, both on computing and on a whole range of different topics, from cinema and TV to art and linguistics (he could read and understand very well Italian and I can understand a very little Portuguese, we had a common interest in Latin - as root of both languages - and we often exchanged opinions on these and many other things), I considered him a friend. I will greatly miss him and our exchanges. Besides his great work in helping and advising other people on technical matters, he was always polite and just (as a moderator), while often managing to keep a veil of humour in his posts. He told me about his illness, describing it as a "a quite mean cancer", from the tone of his latest messages he was fighting fiercely against it, and was hoping to defeat it only one month before, at the end of september. May he R.I.P. jaclaz

I am creating this topic since many, including me, want Windows Update v4 working. It is the only version that remains to be revived, since WUv5 shares the backend of WUv6 and WUv3 uses static inventory. But WUv4 has a complex backend system like WUv5/WUv6 but these are based on ASP.NET (aspx), while WUv4 is based on ASP Classic (asp). And why not upgrade to the WUv5 and WUv6 backend? WUv 4 works with Windows 98/ME, while WUv 5 and WUv6 require at least Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3. Also, WUv4 is mostly expected by Windows 98 users. The only solution but not for long The predecessor of WSUS called SUS, it works but only from Windows 2000 onwards (but in this case SP2) and it only checks for updates until October 2005. And it is somewhat difficult to get it to check for updates. Some problems to solve: - Catalog didn't call getmanifest.asp - Windows 9X didn't work with SUS backend - Results.asp not found This for the moment, with the passage of time there will be peculiarities in the different OS as in each version of IE. For example, updates only appear until such time, custom pages don't work, etc.

@UCyborg is this post in the correct thread? If not, we can move it.

Coded a quick tool to read it, run it from DOS prompt. win9xinstdate.zip AIDA64 Extreme isn't free, but there's a trial version that reads it. Currently latest version 6.33.5700 still runs on Windows 98, but you need to download ZIP package.
