I will not continue with this project, I have outgrown it. Thank you for all your kind comments, advice, etc. My modified versions are removed - they are unsafe due to sandbox bypass, embeded videos do not work.

Windows 7 Pro 64bit forever!!! I just joined this forum & am watching this thread with great interest, especially @msquidpl's posts. A browser is my one concern because browsers are major entry points for malware. However, I surf the internet while in Shadow Defender's "Shadow More" -- it's like a virtual computer -- so a permanent infection is extremely unlikely. Even so, an updated browser for Win7 would be delightful. My Plan B is Zorin Linux Pro -- it's very similar to Win7 & I am getting fairly proficient with it. Aloha to all from Hawaii... bellgamin

360EE versions 13 and 13.5 are based on Chrome 86, and MiniBrowser on Chrome 87. Those should work at least until Spectrum gets around to implementing Googlisms even newer than those Chrome versions. After that, all bets are off - Serpent / New Moon may once again become the preferred choice, at least as long as they're being maintained. 360EE is more "advanced" at the moment, but it doesn't seem likely we'll ever see newer Chrome versions backported to XP.

I quite agree that no one is going to read a 76-page thread (which will soon reach 77 pages at this rate). On the other hand, replying to a thread (particularly this one) without looking at the original post only causes further unnecessary lengthening, so thanks for nothing!

BINGO! Seemed pretty obvious to me. Moving on...

This is pot-stirring! Did you not see my self-realization post merely SECONDS later ??? Moving on...

Dear GAWD, that was awfully rude ! @WinClient5270surely doesn't deserve such "treatment".

Another new kid on the block -- me, bellgamin. Aloha from Hawaii. I have a collection of ~15 ukuleles at last count. "Uku" = flea or louse, & "lele" = jumping. Thus, I play a jumping flea -- my favorite is a Kanile'a Super Tenor. My father's ancestry was Spanish & Italian & my mother's was English & Irish. In Hawaii, my ancestry is known as "chop suey" (all mixed up). HERE's a nice Hawaiian song by a state senator & his family. .............And -- finally (finally!) here's a toast to all you folks:

Hi guys, I am TechActivate 781. I've seen this forum a few times, but it was when I saw the home page I decided to sign up. I am at BetaWiki, Betaarchive, and YouTube. I'm mainly interested in Windows Betas' but am also interested in a few other things like CPUs and play a few games (WOWS and Minecraft). EDIT: My PC specs are: PNY CS900 480GB SSD (came with some 500GB HDD) 8GB DDR3 RAM (came with 4) Intel Core i7-4510U Intel HD Graphics 4400 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows 8.1 Home Single Language x64 Use "some HDD" for pre-Windows 8.1 VMs

If you do remember, several pages back, the "discourse forum platform" breakage under UXP, it is caused by "them" (or by a web framework "they" use) implementing "??=", the nullish coalescing assignment operator (they didn't have to , their forum platform used to work fine without it ); by pure chance it seems, that "google-ism" was first implemented in Chromium 85, only one major version before 86, the basis for 360EEv13.x ... Chrome stable is now on version 110, having abandoned Win7/8.1 support; do any of you reading this consider it "unthinkable" their web devs simply devise/create a "new" JS "shiny" that will be offered with some Chrome version >11x? Judging by what has happened already, they'll then forcibly bundle it with whatever Node/React/etc. web framework the "trendy/secure" sites "du jour" employ, breaking the web for those on Ch109 who resist an OS "upgrade" to Win10/11... I can't, at this time, answer precisely what the next "Googlism" is... I'm certain, though, it's already on Google's drawing boards - after all, if Google's dev teams don't break the web (and old clients) ever so often, they'll become redundant, won't they?

Me too. Plus a window that looks like an Internet Explorer "e".

Yes, now I have the impression that I get these photos by pure chance in Firefox forks - Lady, or Unshaven Man... so the answer to their question: "How ProofHub Works" - is randomly, "by pure chance"? LOL

... Well, I couldn't reproduce with my Serpent 52.9.0 copy: ... i.e. I got the short-haired, young lady with spectacles ... And to avoid any chance of a possible misunderstanding, I'm not posting this to dismiss your claim, rather that for me, it was not the case ... Either it's a random thing or the algorithm they employ worked differently in my case vs yours ... Anyhow, I agree with you: "Variety" is the best thing, not sex-based stereotypes (oops , bait for OT posts here, apologies ) ...

Hi LoneCrusader, Thank you for your donation of 100.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks MSFN

Do Help / About Serpent. The version released on 2/11 is dated 2/9. The one released 2/4 is dated 2/2. Apparently a day or two elapses between build and release.

In defense of @NotHereToPlayGames, I think he meant if there is anything useful in this thread that isn't in the list in the first post, it is likely to be missed, eg. Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3, which I brought up years ago. Though this program is EOL since, so it cannot be run on any OS unless you have it activated since activation server was online or you're in possession of a bypass for its licensing system (or are willing to figure it out on your own), which cannot be discussed here.

Try License Crawler, it will find ALL keys in the system. Your key should be embedded in the BIOS. http://www.klinzmann.name/licensecrawler_download.htm

Only x64 builds at the moment, I take it? Good to know this is out there Hopefully I can use it eventually on Vista Home Basic UPDATE: This requires Vista Extended Kernel, so it's of no use to and x86 Vista installation

But true freedom is the legal right to shout from your rooftop while your neighbor shouts the exact opposite beliefs from his/her rooftop.

I have a hunch that you are trying with MSE 4.5. Yes 4.5 could be installed on XP, but it was also the first version with a time bomb! You may have found a download that was hacked so that the UI wouldn’t nag about EOL (which was possible with 4.5), but the time bomb was still there. The service probably wasn’t even running. If you want to waste more time, waste it with MSE 4.4.304.0 please.

Just a thought, maybe you will look into it sometime. I prefer windows and menus without round corners. I managed to make them sharp but startallback is interfering with menus, for example classic desktop context menu is still rounded.

You're kiddin', right ? Super popular websites don't work, to name a few : Mega , GitHub , IMDB , Twitter is slow , Instagram webviewers don't work properly. Dark contents rendering is broken .

What a beautiful night in the ice free state of Florida - Feb 2... * to see bigger photos on twitter, click "open image in new tab", then delete "&name=small" in the address... ... the beautiful sunrises we Floridians wake up with every single day...

Fascinating prerogative. So do you have a contribution to make? Or are you here just to backseat? There's places for shenanigans like this, *coughs* r/Windows

I am still working on editing the list and keeping it up to date. While Windows Vista Extended Kernel has made the list somewhat obsolete, not everyone wants to or can use the extended kernel (namely x86 users). I just haven’t been able to keep up with it lately due to things happening in my personal life, but I’m going to try to resume working on it soon. Unless you have contributions of your own, you can keep your disrespectful comments to yourself I’ve poured a lot of blood, sweat & tears into this list since 2016, and I think it’s one of the best resources for Windows Vista users today. To anyone who wants to know if an application is already listed, press Ctrl+F in your browser and search for the application name.

Thanks cap., we know ! I'm glad you were able to follow my methods though ! Yes. I still consider Opera 97.047040 is not fully finished and didn't place it here. But maybe that variant works well on his system too, who knows ?

Defender is completely useless on Vista and 7. P.S. winvispixp you probably can flash your Maximus with Rampage BIOS

Sure: The problem is not even the presence of letters themselves but the additional height they take to be displayed, i.e. on a comparison above removing them adds room for 5 more items per screen!

@roytam1! In your first post of this thread, you referenced to your support thread on the eclipse forum. The provided link https://forum.eclipse.cx/viewforum.php?f=33 doesn't work, as this internet address doesn't exist anymore. After a bit research, I found your support thread under the new address https://board.eclipse.cx/viewforum.php?f=33. If I am right, this link needs an update.

Adding to @VistaLover's thoughts on off-topic, sometimes there are posts that are related in a way to the browsers, eg. extensions' specifics, which would probably be better off in separate topic for organization's sake. But I get it's convenient to just post here. By the way, YouTube still functions in vanilla Chromium 55, this version is from December 2016, at least as far as playback goes. The reason for me pointing out this particular version is that I simply had that version installed on the laptop with the old Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation, which I haven't used in a long time.

I can't see any difference on my hardware, all ot these open up so fast so I can't say which is which. I'm sorry, I don't have LGA775 to test them on. If you ask me, CatsXP 111 seems to be an alternative to 360EE for the usage in the dying Windows 7/8.1. And I'd start with 110/111 (or even wait for 112 to see if they made it work on 7), because by the time you finish, it would still be fine. But if you start with 96 ... well. It would be 3 years old or so.

The good news is that Mozilla Firefox is merely “high” spyware according to this source: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox Mozilla Firefox is not based on chrome, thus not relevant to this discussion. But I agree with all of you, it's also a spyware.

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

slimjet is yet another chinorussia spyware/malware along with kaspersky, quit promoting unsafe commie software. You need to understand, we can't advise it on a serious forum like MSFN, we are not Edripse. Spyware Level: EXTREMELY HIGH https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/slimjet

I don't use any AV, but I sometimes run some free online scanner. If you are careful with what and from where you download and use some free web-based email with built-in antivirus you should be quite safe. Also make sure your OS is fully updated at all times. Spyware/adware/malware and similar are a lot more common than viruses these days. Symantec AV is much too demanding and bloated, I will probably try NOD32 some time.
