Without reading through the whole thread, has Thorium ever entered the conversation? It appears that security patches are just being applied to v109, but I could be wrong.

Delay may be reduced by modifying/adding string pref general.useragent.override.youtube.com on about:config page and setting it like so: Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:6.0) Goanna/20230219 Firefox/42.0 PaleMoon/32.0.1 I think the main thing is that it contains an ancient Firefox version along with a string it doesn't recognize so it's not 100% sure you're on old Firefox and won't show unsupported browser page, but the rest of their spaghetti code will go through faster that way (or you're being served a faster version, IDK).

Note: I'm not sure where to put this topic, so I put it here. Hello Everyone, I just write this message to announce that Microsoft pushed very old stuff in Visual Studio Subscription for free.

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.

My initial load time with default agent above is cca. 30 seconds. The one I suggested drops it to cca. 13 seconds. It's been known for a long time YouTube's UI (aka. Polymer) is slow, especially in browsers not implementing Web Components and such.

a: UXP based applications have 2 parts: front-end and UXP engine. front-end code doesn't change frequently (or say, "at all" for BOC related) b & c: IceDove and IceApe is hyperbola's port/rebrand of Thunderbird and Seamonkey to UXP.

But what you also have to remember (at least to the best of my knowledge but I also don't have an interest to hunt it down) is that browsers such as NM27, NM28, St52, St55, et cetera, are never checked for security vulnerabilities and reported to the public like Chrome/Chromium/Edge/Firefox vulnerabilities are.

I wrote about email clients in this thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184410-xpvista-compatible-clients-for-modern-email-services/?do=findComment&comment=1238445 . I tested IceDove and MailNews. The main diffrence I noticed is MailNews supports Oauth2, IceDove unfortunately not. Oauth2 is an important protocol for authentication. A lot of email service providers use it nowadays as for example Gmail. MailNews is simply great and works with all my email service providers. It can easily enhanced by installing legacy extensions. At least, that's what I did.

Basic network troubleshooting. Verify your current IP, gateway, DNS and subnet. Can you ping gateway? Can you resolve DNS? Know that Windows does not let you use multiple gateways. So if you have WLAN connected and it has a gateway, LAN won't have one and vice-versa. Make sure if you have DHCP on both interfaces that they are not trying to use the same IP range/scope. If you are trying to bridge the networks, you may want to use static IP on the LAN and have WLAN on dynamic.

Good News! @feodor2 has just released a nightly build of Mypal 68.13.0. It's not beta or final, presumably less stable, but is supposed to have a much more up-to-date JS engine. Here is a link to the issue on GitHub: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/160 and the direct download link of the release: https://mega.nz/file/FfhCVaZJ#7Yt5Ai8lAz-KeGXBiNnfFcS61-5YVdztKxlPYdq7ZZg I am so glad to see progress in development of Mypal 68 despite the difficult circumstances. And then, an official release will come soon, presumably. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Living in India, I'm Raniyah. I am a self-inspired blogger and I love writing on topics related to smartphones and other technical stuff. I use Windows 10 as my desktop OS and but I don't have sound knowledge about Windows OS. So, I need assistance when I'm in trouble. I hope this place would be the ideal place for it

You only get 1 intro thread.

New Moon has it like this as default: Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Page load is still ridiculously slow compared to modern browsers...

I bank on an 18yr old XP machine with 360Chrome v13.5 build 1030. I don't have to stretch to do it. Security holes aren't really holes for the most part, just a bunch of hype and propaganda. Being "net savvy" and knowing what you are doing is the key to being "secure", not relying on your browser to "safeguard" you from clicking bad links. Thinking 360Chrome isn't safe enough to do banking on is like thinking XP isn't safe enough to run without anti-virus slowing your system to a crawl. We will always have "two camps". One camp will run anti-virus and feel secure. The other camp will be "net savvy" and feel secure. And BOTH, when done properly, will NEVER GET HIT WITH MALWARE. Here at MSFN, we have members running Win98 and using "vulnerable" web browsers on that Win98 - but they never get hit with malware. We have people on XP, on ME, on 2000, on 7, on Vista, on 8, on 8.1, on 10, on 11, on Ubuntu, on Fedora, on Peppermint, on ReactOS - they're all doing fine without running Chrome 112 or Firefox 110 or Edge 110 or whatever the "cutting edge" is at the moment. This is something we each have to decide for ourselves. What works for me may not work for you. What works for you definitely will not work for me.

That doesn't mean that I don't want my browser to be as secure as possible. Ideally, I'd like to bank on my notebook. That's not a stretch. If you look at ghacks, or anywhere Chrome releases are profiled, and you look at the number of security exploits and zero-day patches that are issued with each release, it's worse than Windows by a GREAT DEAL. That's not beating a dead horse at all. That's precisely why I was interested in that new v110 backport. However, I'll have to wait.

Here's something I would be interested in, if anyone has any factual data on the matter. I prescribe to the paradigm that OLDER operating systems are more "secure" DESPITE their security holes. I prescribe to the paradigm that "malware authors" don't waste their time targeting 1% of the population but rather instead spend their time targeting 99% of the population (ie, Win10 and Win11). So here's my interest - does malware hit Vista, 7, or XP most frequently? My theory is that XP is hit the least. I'm talking specific malware distributed by simply visiting a web site (ie, you caught it via your WEB BROWSER being "old" vs "new"), not those installed when a user installs a program they downloaded from an untrustworthy source.

It has here at MSFN but I don't recall if it was on any Win7-specific thread or not.

You shouldn't be missing out on anything. "Upstream" version history notes are literally "foreign". You would basically need to stumble upon one web site out of a few hundred thousand web sites to ever accidentally discover a difference. And most of the later versions only "improved" their telemetry-taking and we axe the telemetry anyway.

This is just freakishly funny ! What's the purpose of the *supposed to be secure* software that updates itself via non-secure http !??!?

Running guys but only touchpad and USB driver only. We don't know intel extensible 3.0 driver got faced error "does not meet minimum requirements" They're only both has bugs but only use as keyboard.

Kstubs825 does not behave properly as it confuses User32 with Uxtheme as see in the Kstub07.zip. Evidence in upload zip and Ktree11 picture. As can be see in picture that there is no reference to Uxtheme for UnregisterTouchWindow and Kstub824 in the log zip redirects all 3 Touch Window functions from their rightful caller :- User32. KSTUB07.zip

Try to boot your Vista in safe mode (F8), then disable the services ".net runtime optimization". If it doesn't help, uninstall the net 4.8 and install 4.5 or 4.5.1 (if you need the Net at all).

My bigger concern is the security holes in the Chromium code that are reported by the week. That is a legitimate concern. So far I haven't noticed any site compatibility issues. I'm using this build on a Dell Inspiron 1420 Notebook running Vista Home Basic.

@kubadmck Here is first try. For win7 bit64 I have never done this hack before, so may be, that you get endless loop Dietmar https://ufile.io/mtx2ub7j

I forgot that Steam was 32-bit based. At least I also have 7 and 8.1 on my laptop to play it until it works with Vista and XP x64 (through one-core api)

PHP 8.1.2 working! Didn't tested newer PHP versions, but when I run XAMPP Apache now don't crash, and puting a php file with the phpinfo function at least work fine. I think there are still missing some 32 bits functions, maybe fixing them could we get Skype Client and similar PWA's with 32 bit only support. Here is brave x86 as an example of this. brave.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point GetThreadGroupAffinity could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. And, another thing, Python 3.7+ x86 apps, would work or could be done something for these apps? As I remember, in a previous release (released before 2022's summer) NVDA 2022.1 partially worked, just remote_helper crashed so it couldn't read properly html documents and web pages. It also required Win7SuperVerFix spoofing and also build number. I'll also test Zulu JDK 13 or 17 x86 and check if it work, it would be required for Java Access Bridge in modern JDK. Regarding hardware support, I just expect a modified Acpi.sys so the BSOD "This PC is not ACPI compliant" would be solved, and an NVMe driver working in Vista (the one posted on some topics is not working). I'm testing some Firefox stuff, at least Librewolf 105 don't throws the error but it don't start. Maybe I'll need to reinstall SHA2 stuff?

It has passed its objectives after months of development and testing, so it is now released, with the objective of the enhanced compatibility and driver support.

This is a part of DirectX 11.2 runtime which is available in Windows 8.1 and newer.

i have vista home premium x64 on my Toshiba netbook(64-bit atom era) and it runs fine even with Aero. that laptop is maxed out.(afaik all netbooks max out at 2GB of ram) even the extended kernel works fine.
