Yep, sure will. This truly is an AWESOME find!

@AstroSkipper ReBaseImage updates the timestamp inside PE header, which also effects calculated checksum, also written in the header, so only these two fields will differ if everything else is identical. So, TimeDateStamp field of IMAGE_FILE_HEADER and CheckSum field of IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER (https://0xrick.github.io/win-internals/pe4/). Hm, LiBase's default config assumes DLL that is not bigger than 1 MB (relevant for putting multiple DLLs through the process). Edit: Actually, the function takes that timestamp as the parameter. LiBase just uses the result of standard time() function with NULL as the parameter, so current time. But if you pass 0 to ReBaseImage, it will increment the currently stored timestamp in the executable by one second.

Nice one, lol.

With helpful people like @UCyborg, it's surely a 100% chance for that to happen! Happy holidays to you and have a nice traveling BTW.

Thanks, I'm an old cat (MEOW!) who knows some tricks...took me a while to remember though. Hello @mixit! You are absolutely right! I also tried to rebase the chrome.dll of 360Chrome 13.5.1030 rebuild 6 and failed. Only after removing the file signature with your recommended tool delcert, I was able to rebase this chrome.dll, too. Thanks for your tip! Yes, most work is done by ReBaseImage function, which checks for digital signature and bails out if it exists. It's logical when you think about it, when you digitally sign the executable, you seal it for release and don't change it anymore afterwards. It's possible to write own function for rebasing if you like to crunch through the executable manually. I think it was the chrome.dll from the version 360Chrome v13.5 build 2022 rebuild 3. @NotHereToPlayGames's rebuild 3, regular build, here's the ungoogled one. I'm sure @NotHereToPlayGames will include the rebased version in next rebuild. I would assume it should be. Hold on, have to get back home from work, lunch and so on, I'll check it later.

This rebasing is VERY exciting news! Can't thank the "team" enough! I can't test until back home, but I'm starting to think that the rebase is why my multi-monitor setup at home crashes first launch and first launch only if I remove the Vulkan .dll's. Would also prove interesting to compare rebased 1030 with rebased 2022.

This browser is starting to go from a need to use to want to use. I think, folks, we in this next release - with the help of @UCyborg, and, @mixit - we'll see a FANTASTIC build/release and one that we should promote. If @NHTPG can fix that minor blip in the address bad when the text vanishes away and you need to re type at first launch, people will be fighting to get their hands on this new awesome piece of software! A privacy focused friendly light weight browser. Even better than ungoogled chrome; period! :

Have a safe drive and wishing you a happy holidays to you and yours.

Awesome! I'm on the road traveling for Holiday. I'll do some experimenting with all this new info. Many thanks for this thread finally returning to a high degree of USEFULLNESS.

Edge is a Chromium-based browser, so, of course they exist.

That's a bit sad.

^ I would be grateful as well.

Sure. If it reduces memory consumption and does not affect the browser general use I will update all browsers with it.

I already did that. Version 1030 runs more smoothly on my old system than version 2022. Both versions are consuming very little RAM.

I think it was the chrome.dll from the version 360Chrome v13.5 build 2022 rebuild 3. I also downloaded @UCyborg's rebased chrome.dll to compare it to mine. The sizes (of original and rebased chrome.dll) match in any case, and it works.

I'm better and my eye exam was just fine.

For me, Dencorso was the soul of this place from when I first started visting here til he slowly waned from the forum. He was the first one to reply to my first post/thread here, and to my great surprise pinned it moments later! I remember back during the 2017 crisis situation of the forum possibly disappearing, he'd PM people in charge of projects and pinned threads to make backups of everything important and be ready to regroup elsewhere to keep this community alive. I wish I'd talked to him more, but that's entirely on me... I'm not going to repeat all the good things that have already been said above about this exceptional person, but I would like to paraphrase Den's next-to-last status update (which I think in itself can be considered the manifesto of current MSFN). Indeed EoL != EoS (in this case End of Spirit) and the spirit of Dencorso can be kept alive here for as long as we all care to. May he rest in peace.

I wish we knew how many people out there are using DC Browser ... could just be us.

@msfntor, @mina7601, and I would be grateful to you as we quite enjoy your browsers.

@UCyborg Could that method result in a person not being able to execute the browser by any chance? If it is safe, I will also include it with my stuff as well. Thanks for sharing! Cheers.

Just rain up here thus far. Stay safe.

There are already multiple versions compiled with QT5 and fully working on Win7. First one you can grab here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/405407-NON-OFFICIAL-Windows-builds-of-MKVtoolnix/page3#post2672418 Second one here: https://github.com/jpsdr/MKVToolnix-QT5-Windows-7 The first version seems to be updated regularly and available few hours or days after official release. It is opensource, so everybody can do this.

Hello @UCyborg! I compared your chrome.dll to my rebased one. The sizes are the same but the hashes are different. I thought libase uses the hash from the original dll file for rebasing. So why are the hashes different? Is it also dependent on the system? Or did you perform the rebasing manually with specific addresses?

For my own compare/contrast learning curve, what was the original .dll that you rebased?

And again, you are absolutely right! In some special cases, it's better to use old programs on old systems what you may call "period correct". They were developed for these anchient OSs, and one can avoid problems that much more modern programs can cause. I have often experienced this on my old computer.

1. We'll its their prerogative to do so if they so chose as its a feature on the forum, ha, its only when you're signed in though, when lurking the blocked person (as their postings) are still in full view. 3. No I wasn't joking, and I actually don't think its bad because its their choice and the feature is there on the software. 3. YES! I don't mind being blocked because not everyone know just how bad they need mister blobfish in their lives.

My trust in you was not in vain !

Well, again, this is very unfortunate, indeed. I still think he is a good person, and I wonder what if I force myself to agree with his definition, will he be back then ? Will he forgive me ? And then again, it's so hard to imagine a mobo from 2000 to be the "right XP era hardware" . I mean , XP released to sales only at the end of 2001. So no XP existed ! What do you think I should do ? thanks. P.S. Hope you will get out of your depression as soon as possible !

Hi UCyborg, Thanks for chrome.dll, it lowered the memory by 3 Mb, and it also solved the problem of the two orange addresses below with their disappearance. with the new chrome.dll.

I will, of course.

Hello @mixit! You are absolutely right! I also tried to rebase the chrome.dll of 360Chrome 13.5.1030 rebuild 6 and failed. Only after removing the file signature with your recommended tool delcert, I was able to rebase this chrome.dll, too. Thanks for your tip! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

No, he doesn't.

Lidl customer can't believe the amount for a "small purchase" - "Almost cried when I was out" 12/22/2022 By: Armin T. Linder After her purchase, a Lidl customer is downright shocked at the amount she was supposed to pay at the discount store. She almost cried. Ludwigshafen – The rising prices in supermarkets are causing problems for many people. Some simply accept them without complaint and shop as usual. Others are quietly limiting themselves and are more likely to use their own brands or remove one or the other product from the shopping list. On the other hand, those who have to turn over every cent twice have an even harder time dealing with inflation – and thus sometimes dare to go public: A poor woman recently complained about the price of three simple products at Rewe. The tweet from a woman who claims to be a single mother of two children from the Palatinate goes in a similar direction. She has already tweeted several times under the hashtag #ichbinarmutsaffected and has now also spoken out after visiting the supermarket. According to the Lidl customer, she pays 82 euros for a “small purchase” The user posted a photo of her almost complete purchase. For this she was, as the own brands show, at the discounter Lidl....

Yeah that was already a very possible scenario years ago, since Windows 8 and 8.1 usage isn‘t as high as Windows 7. That‘s also the reason why they don‘t offer ESU for 8.1 devices. However, 8.1 is closer to 10 than 7, which makes some things easier to backport to 8.1 than to 7, just like it was the case with XP and Vista. Vista is obviously way more identical to 7 than XP, which made some things much easier

In relation to the post made by @dmiranda on page 11 on AF's 360EE version shared (I am lazy to link the exact comment), I've made a little BAT file to execute the browser (it has to be on the same folder as the "360chrome.exe" file to work). Due to all the files this browser makes I thought it would be a good idea to write this kind of script to remove files after browser execution (it also removes 2 registry entries that the browser creates when executed, they can be seen at the end of the code). I tested it a little so I don't know if any files I set to be deleted are actually important. Some of you might already know which files are preferrable to be deleted so if you want to share which can be, then, that would be great (as well as registry entries created by the browser). I set it up so in case you run the browser with a custom profile folder you just change the "profile" variable to whatever that profile is. To avoid the CMD window poping on screen everytime you run it you can follow these steps (post #5) (the CMD window will still exist but minimized by default) Cheers. @echo off :: ======================================= :: run "360chrome.exe" file with arguments :: ======================================= 360chrome.exe --disable-component-update :: ======================================================= :: files and folders to be deleted after browser execution :: ======================================================= cd ".\User Data" :: folders rmdir "ShaderCache" /S /Q rmdir "Webstore Downloads" /S /Q rmdir "temp" /S /Q rmdir "PnaclTranslationCache" /S /Q :: files del *.log del mconfig :: Set "profile" folder set profile=Default :: Inside "profile" folder profile del "%profile%\*.tmp" del "%profile%\*.ldb" del "%profile%\*.log" del "%profile%\360Bookmarks" del "%profile%\Google Profile.ico" del "%profile%\heavy_ad_intervention_opt_out.db" del "%profile%\*-journal" del "%profile%\LOCK" del "%profile%\LOG*" del "%profile%\MANIFEST*" del "%profile%\README" del "%profile%\Secure Preferences" del "%profile%\Shortcuts" del "%profile%\Sync360_V8.sqlite3" del "%profile%\TransportSecurity" del "%profile%\Visited Links" del "%profile%\Web Data" del "%profile%\CURRENT" del "%profile%\Network Action Predictor" del "%profile%\Network Persistent State" del "%profile%\QuotaManager" del "%profile%\Top Sites" del "%profile%\previews_opt_out.db" del "%profile%\History Provider Cache" rmdir "%profile%\AutofillStrikeDatabase" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\blob_storage" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\DailyBackup" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\data_reduction_proxy_leveldb" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\databases" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Extension Rules" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Extension State" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Feature Engagement Tracker" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\File System" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\GPUCache" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\IndexedDB" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Platform Notifications" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Service Worker" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\shared_proto_db" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Site Characteristics Database" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\VideoDecodeStats" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Extensions\Temp" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Session Storage" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Download Service" /S /Q rmdir "%profile%\Thumbnails" /S /Q :: ====================================================== :: Registry entries to be deleted after browser execution :: ====================================================== reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\360" /f reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\360Chrome" /f
