BREAKING NEWS: GOOGLE CHROME IS SPYWARE!!! https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/chrome A serious forum like MSFN should discourage any discussion of this capitalist PUP - or not?

Slimjet is made by FlashPeak, a company based in Austin, Texas. I did not “promote” it: Merely pointed out that it is currently based on Chromium 109, so obviously supports Windows 7 at least until hypothetical version 39 is released. I haven’t used Slimjet since 2016, at which time they backported Chromium 50, 51 and 53 for the benefit of Windows Vista. BTW neither Russia nor China is a communist society in the 21st century - which is not to say they are not authoritarian regimes that pose a threat to the West. Speaking of Russia, does anyone know what version of Chromium the current Yandex 23 browser is based on? I can’t seem to find that information and have no wish to install the browser, but MSFN is an international forum so others may feel differently.

Sweet Dreams ...

Be positive, never negative. Every day, always.

In addition to above post, It's fascinating that all this info about Firefox being spyware still comes from testing version 52.5.0, despite the last article edit being in August 17, 2021.

We are experiencing a new wave of spammers that is not unique to MSFN and is happening on other forums as well. These spammers will post about cryptocurrency. However, in addition to new users doing this, some of these spammers have been able to hijack or compromise existing user accounts and make a spam post. When we find an existing user that posts this type of spam, we will apply a 0 point warning on your account so that we can restrict posting. The warning reason will indicate that this has happened. Then you can PM the mod who sent you the warning and they will confirm that it is you and advise that you change your password. After this, the moderator can restore your posting ability.

It's based on Chromium 108.

That page is weird. common ie is spyware.. ? https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/explorer

thanks @XPerceniol 😘

I understand as my circumstances aren't ideal either. Avoid known triggers is all we can do to start.

Nothing worse than inaction and waiting around for others to pick us up, only WE can get better no pill and no doctor only YOU. Yes Start now why wait.

did you see I put your quote in my signature @XPerceniol?

And good night to you @XPerceniol and all of you, here it is just after midnight.

So. we must increase the ratio and tip the scale from 10% feelings of being hopeful and slowly increase decrease the 90% and chalk up to a dark day as just that and tomorrow is another day. Hopefully if you do things and as @msfntor wrote - take action - and the dark days should become less-and-less until they are not more. I'm working on this too and thank you for sticking around (both the forum and in real life) You can't be happy all the time and you can't be sad all the time. Through darkness you see the light. I feel better today.

Yes, I do. I don't live alone. Yes.

Tell me, do you live with your family? Does your mother give you food 3 times a day? Or not? Sorry for this personal question.

What to Do If You Wish you Where Never Born (What to do) by ptimistminds.com In this brief blog, we will be talking about I wish I was never born, why I wish I was never born, what to do when I wish I was never born, and more information about I wish I was never born. more here https://optimistminds.com/i-wish-i-was-never-born/

I like both of you and I don't like my friends thinking of that they should not even exist in the world when there's is so much good still out there you just have to find it and then you will see the light

like I said several posts ago there's always a chance to have a good day you just have to look around you and see what makes you happy and then chase it follow what makes you happy and you will never feel lonely or sad that's what I learned from my younger years on here and it might help both of you as well

I don't understand what do you want me to do.

Ah, that explains it. "Good" ones run at mere 6 FPS while "bad" ones run at 30 FPS (check stats for nerds, frame rate is listed after resolution).

The vital key is this line -- "After following the mitigation guide, this software is Not Spyware." Which is technically the case for ALL WEB BROWSERS. Us here at MSFN "know better", but for the most part a web browser user simply uses "default settings" (for the most part).

Greetings. Thank you for Your attention and my best wishes to You. "These aren't the droids you're looking for." (c) Problem is to force ProxiMII certificate as trusted for program, that didn't allow this from settings and didn't use Windows certificate store. I can't figure out how an abstract program works with https - i need to investigate this specimen :-). curl mostly uses ".curlrc" (in variaty of names for customs builds) and "cacert.pem" (idem) OpenSSL is a Unix things - it's wide use config files and environment variables. But which settings was forced during compiling time? Is it was linked statically or dynamically? Does it use one of openssl.cnf, cacert.pem, SSL_DIR_PATH, SSL_FILE_PATH? Best regards.

you may just install chatzilla extension instead.

OK.

For me, 158 frames were dropped of 5350 on 360Chrome v13.5.1030 on my VirtualBox XP SP3 x86 at 1080p on @we3fan's cited video.

Well I've been called a lot of things but smart isn't usually on this list. Honestly, I watched the news today after weeks of not doing so and I feel very bad and, to tell you the truth, I wish I wasn't born at all. I feel sick and hopeless and I just want *out*.

Wait, why? What makes you think that? No, you aren't more dumb (nor dumb at all).

Hello @roytam1! Even though there are members here who don't appreciate weekly updates of your browsers, I would like to thank you for your regular browser releases, the time you spend on them and your enthusiasm. You maintain so many projects with an incredible continuity that is quite impressive. New Moon 28 and Serpent are my main browsers in Windows XP. And they even work with YouTube on older computers, where 360Chrome is a total failure. Many thanks for that!

and im honored to be here with such great friends

Yes, he is right, your presence and advice is great!

Thank you and I'm very grateful and mindful of your presence and advice. Again, appreciate if very much.

I fully agree with this. You're welcome.

the ice storms are finally over and the warm texas weather were known for here has returned and thank you to everyone that was worried about me it good to there are people that care on here

Run it 10 times in 360Chrome. Then run it 10 times in Firefox. They average identical speeds for me.

- What is she saying, please? Can you transcribe, please? Mental illness

Yes, agree, provided by you page is weird, it doesn't even have the screencaps of spying connections, whereas mine does.

here is a question someone asked on the slimjet website that might clear up the compatibility confusion Q.What are the system requirements of Slimjet? The latest version of Slimjet is compatible with Windows 7 or later, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later, Ubuntu 14.04+, Debian 8+, openSUSE 13.1+, or Fedora Linux 21+.

Slimjet Version History shows that current version 38.0.0.0 is based on Chromium 109, so of course it works on Windows 7, and there will probably be a number of 38.x revisions, which is probably all the support Windows 7 will get from Slimjet (but time will tell).

Respectfully, I beg to differ ... Google do come up with new JS drafts and are very swift to implement them into their own browser monopoly ... Adherence to well-established web standards is a lesser concern to them - they practically control themselves the W3C board, so everything "new" and "fancy" they devise will find its way into a "revised"/updated Web Standard ... TL:DR: Google aren't better at "complying" to web standards; they "own" "www" with their monopoly and can do "as they please" with web standards... As the majority of current mainstream browsers are Chromium-based, what Google do dictates what the rest are forced to do... Mozilla are funded by Google, their "current" Gecko engine aspires to be a Chromium fork; so, Firefox also adopts what Google have already implemented a while back into their browser (a policy known as "Chrome-parity") ... That leaves ALL the rest browser choices (non-Chromium/non-Firefox) lagging behind in Web Compatibility...

Everyone, thank you for the help, yes, sorry I know I had to read first. Everything was in the tutorilal.

Sites like romhacking.net have continued to survive for years on end because they don't host the original binary images (ROMs in their case), which are of course copyrighted to their respective authors; thus, they are not allowed to be reproduced using unauthorised methods or redistributed via unauthorised channels. As far as I can tell, patch files, unless you're patching a 0KB dummy file with the entire content (which wouldn't be the case here - compare it to something like pushing changes to a repo on Git, where it compares the differences in the file and alters it accordingly), aren't illegal under any jurisdiction. Reverse engineering also isn't illegal at all... however, using knowledge from leaked source code (or code that is under a non-disclosure agreement, such as from internal documents meant for company partners) alongside reverse-engineered code is also legally extremely questionable due to the dubious means of acquiring the code. This infamously was the subject of a lawsuit between Atari/TENGEN and Nintendo when the former cracked the 10NES chip using a combination of reverse engineering and documents that were only meant for developers/publishers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Games_Corp._v._Nintendo_of_America_Inc.# Basically as long as the original binary isn't contained somewhere (an MD5+SHA1/2 hash and/or reasonable description such as a file version is perfectly acceptable), it should be fine from a legal point of view. (For disclaimer purposes, I'm not a lawyer, so correct if necessary should someone be more qualified than me to talk about this topic.)

Ideally, ungoogled-chromium would be the best option. Also I'm still not sure why someone didn't take a backup of the svn/git repo of the last known working compile for win7 along with the build tools, that would at least make it easier to analyse the source at a fixed point in time and perhaps backport things.

I think you could use any other antivirus except a couple of German products (Avira and Emsisoft) that have already ended support for 7 and 8. Edit: McAfee still supports 8.1, but not 8.0 or 7. https://www.mcafee.com/support/?articleId=TS103148&page=shell&shell=article-view

On any platform just seeing all these abandonded / inactive accounts is weird, knowing that these were all people but then suddenly disappeared. Who knows what happened to them. Recently a big disappearance was Bigmuscle, who was last seen in July 2020. Hope he comes back soon in good health. What do you guys think of when you see inactive / abandonded accounts?

Oh c'mon, it's just an innocent word. I don't see how it doesn't accurately describe preferences of the folks here in the context in which it was used. Communicating in this world seems to be getting increasingly difficult since it happens so often that someone is offended so easily. It's undeniable that the most forum sections are more or less deserted and that the place is a famous hangout for those that prefer running older OS, despite the forum structure hinting at the more balanced discussion ground. A'ight, I'm off before I'm convicted of murdering someone with words.

Nice choice, indeed . Those are my favourites too. But I can't listen to anything starting from 1995-96, I mean any kind of music.
