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

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!

At the time of this writing, it also still functions in the last XP version, which is 49. (April 2016)

Im happy to report that opera 96 is now up and running on my windows vista machine!

I agree, this is actually a great software list, and it will never be forgotten. Thank you very much for your work on this list, it's appreciated.

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

Check the missing dependences and missing files with Dependency Walker. Post their name on the forum.

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".

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.

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...

Good news! Probably Opera 97 can work 100% properly, but I must backport DWrite.dll from Windows 10. It will be not easy I think.

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.

Good luck with that, sir!

It seems there's no need to update the link, since clicking the old link now redirects to the new address.

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

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 ?

To prevent user confusion, I strongly recommend disregarding the tutorials and contacting me directly instead about the extended kernel. The original post was removed as it was continuing to confuse users. There will be further discussion about the evolution of the extended kernel in the coming pages.

The populace of russia, china, cuba, morth korea, nicaragua and all similar needs to be 100% LGBTQ+++++++ ! Very liberal, progressive and problem solving ! And no one will able to accuse me of racism, etc., otherwise he/she/it/they will be cancelled. P.S. Like the Ancient Saxons once said, hit enemies with their weapon. That being said, I'm absolutely fine if we have non-traditionalists, it's their choice ! I just think they don't have to freaking scream about it on every corner !

Pictures with native Frisians will also follow ?

Yes, there is!

Cool Mina!

...But in general, of course, you are entitled to your individual beliefs at any time in your life, as we all are, so I respect them, be sure.

Bravo, congratulations, thanks for the builds!

I found the cat, and it took me just 2 seconds,

Morissa Schwartz (Dr. Rissy) @MorissaSchwartz Feb 17 It took my friend 30 minutes to find the cat. If she knew I found it in 2 minutes, I don't think she would talk to me anymore! - I've found it in 10 seconds already!

Morissa Schwartz (Dr. Rissy) @MorissaSchwartz Feb 18 What a beautiful hair color

TOMKATT 2 @WillBlevjr That's a real man. See that beautiful smile she has. Infectious.

COOL!

she feels much better now and mine is pretty mild (not the severe kind) and we've had covid before so we have antibodies against it now (so I'm not really worried about it)

... 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 ) ...

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.

My parents are homophobic. A bit disturbing coming from your own family, but that's what humans tend to be good at. Hate, hate and more hate. Why aren't we extinct yet?

Everybody living in the region, will face the same sad consequences: breathe the same filthy air and drink that same dirty water for a long time… Yummy… ...and another video, on YouTube: Toxic Chemicals Are Boiling Out Ohio's Waters Thanks, Manuel! - From Manuel's topic here: https://strangesounds.substack.com/p/it-is-quite-honestly-a-miracle

But explain to me your critic from above, please, so that I can improve in the future...

WHAT you don't like in this post, please? Maybe we shouldn't make fun of this accident because people are really hurt by it ?... Sorry that I posted some thoughts which you don't like...

Maybe if I ever get too bored.

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.

Github link is: chrome-pak-customizer

I can test this and see uf it work on mine thanks!

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!

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.

Yeah, sure is ! Funny thing only a couple of comments. And a very weak reaction overall.
