It comes by default like that, don't worry.

Hi @jasonjulius1122, hello from Belgium and welcome to MSFN! I wish you to enjoy the forums! Have a nice day. hpwamr

What do you want to know?

You're probably remembering JustOff's "Modify HTTP Response," which is how I initially solved the issue; but I think your user script is a better solution for me since, e.g., ViolentMonkey will run in multiprocess mode, while JustOff's extension won't. BTW has anyone yet noticed similar CSS breakage on GitHub? M$ seems determined to break any browser that won't run on Win 10+. Edit: Well, it works in a clean profile.... I wonder which extension or config setting only breaks GitHub? Edit 2: Well, it's uBO. (Grr.) Strangely, though, when enabled, GitHub breaks - yet uBO doesn't report blocking anything! How am I supposed to tell what to unblock?

Good. Yep, multi-process mode is the reason for this, it splits FF into multiple processes so that FF performs faster by making it use more memory. It's has been enabled by default since FF 54.

Best regards, your tired AstroSkipper @VistaLover Thanks once more for pointing to your solution! Works great here! The Violentmonkey 2.14.0 toolbar button is now fully functional.

@Cixert! You are really helpful here. Thank you for your contributions! IObit Malware Fighter, another candidate which is already on my list. Unfortunately, I have had the same unpleasant experience as you. IObit tries to push their Advanced Systemcare product on every user. This is totally annoying. I have also noticed the increased consumption of resources. And when you uninstall software from IObit, there is always something left over. Then it's a matter of searching and manual cleaning.. On the plus side, IObit Malware Fighter is still compatible with Windows XP, for whatever that's worth. Unfortunately, in Windows XP we can't be very picky and have to consider every option, even those we would normally discard. At the moment, we still have other options, fortunately.

As you can see, SUPERAntiSpyware Professional X seems to be abandoned just recently, in March of 2023. That's very regrettable, of course! But the updating of definitions still works, of course!

You're welcome, now switch the fake agent on and go here: https://browserleaks.com/javascript What do you see in the AppVersion string?

Dark Magic technology preview has debuted in 3.6.6 This technology will bring StartAllBack improvements to other apps in the system. Or not if this cases trouble. Experiment #1 - acrylic menus and mica menu bars. More to come Use 'startisbackcfg /magic' command to enable or disable. Known caveats: - Elevated applications are handled only if you're admin and install for all users - No settings, you have to restart I'm interested in compatibility issues. [Not applied and not broken is fine for custom menus apps]

Hello, Chaps! I am new here and I just want know about this forum can anyone please help me out?

They have the numbers, they know for a fact that you're not worth their time. 2 XP visitors to every 120,000 Win10 visitors (I made up those numbers, but you get the gist). And as somebody mentioned in this thread or another, don't recall, WE have OURSELVES to blame - we fake a "modern" user agent on a "modern" OS and so we ourselves are even telling them that nobody on XP is using their web site.

SUPERAntiSpyware Professional X Edition 10.0.1250 is the version I am using now. It was the last version which comes via automatic update. When I am at my desktop computer, I will check the System Tools - System Investigator option and report here.

The advantage of using this extensions store is that it allows direct download, including the Old Version

They won't anyway. They don't care about your user agent. Let me give you the perspective from the actual developer (source: I work at the company that does specialized hardware and software, the software controls the hardware, the user interfaces with the software via the web interface). It goes like this, the developer visits https://caniuse.com/ to consult about the feature he'd like to use to achieve some result quicker and easier and preferably his code easier to read/maintain/whatever. The website says most current browsers support this feature. The feature is used to implement whatever he was going to implement. Use some old browser on an antiquated OS? Too bad, too sad, you're a minority not worth their time.

360 Extreme Explorer v.13.5.2036 with User Agent Swittcher Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; Win32; x32) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Basilisk 52.9.0 without user agent says Firefox 102 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.8 Firefox/102.0 Basilisk/52.9.0 (I don't know if I change it in some way or come by default) The problem of changing the user agent with Loader.ini is that all pages will take the new user agent. I like to tell the pages that Windows XP use. How are they going to continue doing programs considering Windows XP if we tell them that we use Windows 10 and current browsers?

Hello @jasonjulius1122, welcome to MSFN! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

All more recent browsers show these behaviour. If you have a lot of RAM, it should be not a problem at all although I don't like such consumption. My Windows XP Professional computer is very low on resources. Only 1.5 GB RAM. One of the reasons I appreciate @roytam1's browser so much. On my machine, they are running in single-process mode, consuming RAM as they actually should do. Additionally, I installed Mypal 68 from the very first and also configured it working in single-process mode. It works great, and its RAM usage is low.

Can you provide a screenshot of this breakage? When did this start happening? As we all know, uBlock Origin can be used in two different modes, a standard and an advanced user mode. Which one do you use? In the case, uBlock Origin does not report blocking anything on GitHub, you could check uBO's general settings in the option page. Maybe, one of these settings is problematic when loading a GitHub website. But this is just a theory. When I am back at my desktop computer, I will have a look in my configuration of uBlock Origin and check what happens when accessing GitHub.

i definitely agree with this

Thank you. Means a lot to me. BTW, @UCyborg, I made an edit in my post that you replied to, but it's minor, so it won't matter too much, I only added "please forgive me, I didn't mean to do that." to my post when you were replying.

The next time I am at my desktop computer I will try your second solution: Best regards, your tired AstroSkipper

All Acrylic menus still do not work on Internet Download Manager, Autohotkey GUI mica menu bars work, right click acrylic menus do not work.

That is what I like and agree, I prefer when I'm not overcrowded, and always choose my partners in everything, be it one-night-stands or friendship. Unfortunately, it was not always the case in my military days, until I got an officer rank, at least. So I kinda learned how to find something in common to talk about, until the mission is over, maybe try it? The most important part, don't waste your energy on them.

Let's hope that's not the case, Roy. Always grateful for your releases... and that's an understatement. I wanted to tell you all that I have been experimenting with Windows 7. It seems to be a reliable, stable, lightweight operating system. It runs smoothly. In fact, it boots faster than our dear old XP. I've slapped it around a bit and it holds up very well to the abuse. Firefox is still compatible, although the latest version does not support some extensions that I use and miss very much. Another problem is that it consumes a lot of memory... a lot. Having 4 or 5 tabs open means more than 2gb of ram gone. I've taken the opportunity to test the latest version of MyPal -thanks Feodor- and it seems to work very well. At memory level it seems similar and I still could not test if the extensions I use are compatible, but the good news is that Whatsapp Web works. Still... I could not get used to Windows 7. It offers some compatibility but several key programs are no longer compatible. So for now I'm sticking with XP.

Or even GTS250, which is a rebrand of 9800GTX anyways, but with less heat.

Yes, seems like a very logical thing to do, go old. They just don't make *honest* wattage anymore. Here's the legenadary *TRUE* 600W PSU they used in Fujitsu Siemens of that era, I think up to 2010 or so. Fujitsu Siemens Power Output Max. Load +5Vsb 3.0A -12V 0.8A +12V1 18A +12V2 18A +12V3 18A +12V4 18A +5V 30A +3.3V 36A 12v x 4 lines , all lines are independent. (not virtaul crap, like in most modern ones) For reference. He needs to look for smth like this. https://www.atxpowersupplies.com/600-watt-power-supply-FSP600-80GHN.php

Could you for once take into account I just missed you, and no strings attached. (some foreigners will probably need to look for a translation). And I missed your errors also , it's *themselves* (plural) ,because you wrote everybody/their. And I have to admit, your small Win10 ISO is quite impressive in size! EDIT: Why does it say only 3GB of RAM? I don't remember they made 1GB DDR3 modules. (assuming you have 1GB+2GB modules?).

and very loud! Better off with something like a used 9800GTX.

It's working there bro...just reduce the app window size and r-click any dwonloaded file...u will see. I've question, is it possible to use some of the settings with EP too or can SAB port the Win10 Start from starting version of windows like 22000.52. Bcoz for the reason of Start menu, I'm using both of the apps. I know it is not recommended but..

Very nice! Thanks for the great work as always!!

Tihiy this is great! Just a question, are there any plans for properties dialog's to display in dark theme when launched from other applications? For example I use Directory Opus as my primary file manager rather than explorer and it would be awesome if the property sheets would be dark themed when launched from DOpus. Thanks!!

here be dragons

How is this "rude" and "unfounded", if you just confirmed the problem with the high CPU usage exists on your end? In this case, will it also be "rude" to tell, I'm not going to downgrade to early 100 bulids, just to visit one website? Besides, your site doesn't even support the dark theme. I don't have any of such troubles with MSFN, despite what you say.

It doesn't mean the spoofing worked to the best extent, google has other ways to determine who you are, AppVersion or ClientHints, for example. https://browserleaks.com/javascript Here's the result of successful spoofing of Chrome 109 (last supported version for Win7). The Browser I'm on - Opera on Chrome 111, running on Vista. I even spoofed the language, just in case, I'm not using the US language, I'm using the UK, of course.

Good idea, but I have tried it with User Agent Switcher indicating Chrome 110 and it has not worked. I think this is the best extension for User Agent https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-and-m/bhchdcejhohfmigjafbampogmaanbfkg?hl=en

I fervently hope that this will never happen. PS: Consider not liking your last posts as a sign that your fears will never come true. Liking of such posts would be pure madness.

You're absolutely right! And the language on the website looks like it was written by a third-grader, at best. So what good to expect from the "OS" then, besides typos in their scripts? The quesion is, whether it needs to be here or not. This doesn't go hand in hand with the good reputation MSFN has. I just wonder why (all of a sudden) @NotHereToPlayGames, with his "energetic spirit", is so quet! He is usually very vocal about "thin/thick/fat/greazy" or whatever he calls his "lines of legality" of the innocent extended kernels.

Now we talking! So get your arse off the sofa and start resisting! Before it's too late! Form a movement, get support from businesses who are fed up with the agenda crap and just want to make money in a free and safe state. Make up a short and sweet name, like WLM (white legacy matters) or smth. The indoctrination of kids is imported from the well known commie countries. Don't you get it ? Read history, it's how any totalitirian state begins to emerge. Be prepared : up to 75 percent in your movement will be working for the FBI (whio aren't on you side now), but that doesn't mean you will never get sympathies from them. Just be on your guard and act with caution. Later on, when you get enough money - start recruiting pros. (ex-CIA, for example). Some foreigners would do good, take only those who aren't infiltrated by chinorussia, I can help you with the screening. If you ever need my help, just call D.Draker, my boys and me, we are always ready. Your FBI/NSA has no jurisdiction over us. I shan't post any more details here, publicly. P.S. I do consult, also. Strategies, PR, joint force tactical operations command, cyber ops/security - all well within my area of expertise. Later years - psy ops (as a hobby), though I still consider myself a novice in that regard. And, maybe, some day we meet, I'll teach you the proper English spelling personally, while we both protect America from the aliens of all sorts.

I’m glad that Hollywood finally stopped making those old things. Means both of you not only (how should I put it politely about your English?) rather off the charts with your English, but also know nothing (zero) about human psychology. Films (movies, how you call it), be it westerns, Rambo, Bond, are meant to let off steam, here, enjoy my wisdom, lol. Add bloody brutal games to that list.

1 - Thanks, will keep in mind. 2 - From what I had been taught at school/academy/university - was Dutch, even Japanese for some time and then British ! Not sure about now. [1] - Hey, but they were. Looks like not anymore, and many thanks for bringing it to my attention ! I own such IDE-SATA adapters and also many Addon-cards from Germany (they all have the famous green Siemens board). NO "Made in Taiwan" shown on them. Since you can post links to the shops , I think I also can , here's the place where I bought them and many other parts. https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/p/90745130 I honestly don't know who the owner of the shop is ! Perhaps you will help us to find out ? All I know - the store is German. All parcels arrive from Western Germany. (not DDR, or ex-DDR or whatever they called it in English).

Not a problem also, since there's plenty of well-working IDE-SATA adapters for like 5 bucks per unit.

All that said does not mean I refresh my HDDs on a regular base. Sorry, I'm afraid I am too lazy to do that with all my HDDs. But from a physical or technical point of view, refreshing of disks makes perfect sense and can make its contribution as a data preservation strategy. Additionally, checking an HDD in form of data refreshing triggers the controller of such a disk to renew its S.M.A.R.T. values and to decide for example whether pending sectors have to be rated as defective or not. I already did that successfully by using Spinrite in the past. After performing such checks or refreshes, there is a positive side-effect. You will definitely know much more about the health of your disks and the condition of the data on it, including up-to-date S.M.A.R.T. values. AstroSkipper

Good to hear! But we have the theoretical knowledge to understand the instability of magnetic data. In such a case, one can certainly do without such data, even if it would be very welcome. And all this is not a question of belief. It is rather a question of reason. BTW, no one has claimed that data refreshing is a panacea for preserving magnetic information on an HDD. But it is one reasonable strategy, and that is what this thread is about. AstroSkipper

@UCyborg posted further sources in his initial post. And the language in which articles were written doesn't matter nowadays. We all can use Google Translator or much better DeepL And, you will find more scientific or technical information by using Google & Co, of course. Very funny! But to be honest, I actually prefer rather scientific answers. And I say that as an outspoken film lover. AstroSkipper

Lubricants drying out is related to the data prevention loss. One would have to turn on the HDD once in a while, from time to time. By doing this you prevent it from being stuck.

it's not been removed from Serpent 52/55 that I know of. I think the actual difference is that Serpent is based on Goanna 4.8 whereas Basilisk is already on Goanna 6.0 if I have to pick a go-to Firefox fork for Win7, Librewolf would be first and then Basilisk and Palemoon with a single active process would be down on my list. Firefox could have a far bigger user base than they have these days if they didn't drop support for XP users, so good luck with your Basilisk project if @roytam1 can I also think you can as well.

no way will I be using a single-process capable browser ever again. it's a nightmare to me. it's ok if you don't think it's safe for you but you should let the end users decide for themselves. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/129/#comment-1242047

I wanted to know what metric you were using. You could have meant cards manufactured by companies with a reputation for poor quality, for instance. If you meant "low end" as in cards of the 9xx line which aren't considered "high-end" or "enthusiast," though, doesn't that counteract saying the driver will work problem free with the 900 series? Check Wikipedia's article on the 900 series. There, the GTX 950 and 960 are listed as "mid-range," GTX 970 and 980 as "high-end," and GTX 980 Ti and TITAN X as "enthusiast." That's where I've been getting my metrics. Really? I thought I was being rather civil here. Are you sure you're not reading hostility into my words?
