  2. Never asked for or sought help on any chrome based browser. To make it even clearer. Just commented stuff and some users spontaneously gave their help. I never wanted to use Bing as a search engine. And I wrote _oogle because clearly was never interested in any help on that. Faced with the possibility that Roytam may not be able to go ahead, we are chatting about alternatives, which refers back to the thread. We are still talking about the best legacy FF option for XP. To my mind it's still Serpent Basilisk. Sometimes we border on off-thread, yes, but no one has been rude to anyone. Quite the opposite.

  3. This message is not as intrusive as in Chrome, you can see it in the "About Firefox" window (the line above the version number). But the yellow triangle on the menu button is much more noticeable, it reports the inability to receive updates, I disabled auto-update via system policies, but it did not help, it worked disabling several parameters in about:config: app.update.service.enabled, app.update.staging.enabled switched to false, app.update.url.details, app.update.url.manual deleted lines.

  4. Everyone uses many different hardware and OS on this forum. If a person knows how to do this, they may not visit the site immediately or be here all the time. It is possible that no one here can answer the question. Bumping the topic doesn't do you any favors.

  5. Do you have a tester? Any simple tester would do just fine.

  6. I didn't even know about this yellow triangle. I had it and it was because an extension wasn't working and I was able to fix it.

  7. It's always kind of been a fine line on what off-topic enquiries are allowed and which cause an uprising. Just pointing out that your attempt at making Bing your default and removing Google as your default would have been answered faster if it were in the correct thread. I personally don't mind off-topic enquiries, no conversation I've ever had in my entire life didn't "wander" from one topic to the next at seemingly random moments, it's not just me, it's human nature, that's how CONVERSATIONS unfold. The strictest of adherance to "on-topic" conversations would have you walk away three senctences in to basically every conversation a normal human is ever engaged in - that would make you the RUDEST person on the planet. I see online conversations not much removed from that paradigm, only the RUDEST of members throw out a "off-topic, move on" each and every time they encounter one. Hovering over their keyboard like a hawk or eagle in a tree tracking a field mouse or bunny rabbit, quick to POUNCE with their "gotcha moment". Kind of like how members LOVE to correct sspelllinnnngg mistaques hear at EM ES EFF EN. But I digress... </end off-topic>

  10. Try this, maybe? type about:config into the address bar and then pressEnter apply either or both of the following config items: Search for app.update.silent, then set it to true Search for app.update.url, then change it to a fake URL https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/ change hmmps://jjj5.mozilla.org/update/6/%PRODUCT%/..

  11. At first, I had NO idea what you were talking about !!! "_oogle" ??? NEVER HEARD OF IT !!! So thanks for the SCREENCAP because now I can see what you are talking about - it's GOOGLE, not "_oogle". I thought maybe this "_oogle" thing was something Humming Owl came up with and not your "fear" of typing out Google. The handling of extensions is ON PURPOSE - if you want the Chrome Web Store to communicate with Google (why would you if you label them as "_oogle") then you MUST use the REGULAR 360Chrome version and NOT the "ungoogled" 360Chrome version. This is also true for Official Ungoogled Chromium, the Chrome Web Store is intentionally "broken". Regarding search engines, set your Bing as DEFAULT then you can remove GOOGLE (default). edit - ps: your enquiry regarding 360Chrome or any future enquires regarding Official Ungoogled Chrome should not be in Roytam's "My Browser Builds" thread.

  12. By the laws of physics, the voltage always drops. So any *good* and *new* PSU is only 82%, at best. Some expensive declare 85% efficiency, so these calculations are for a mediocre 500-550W PSU.

  13. I remember there was a flag for chrome to supress it, perhaps also a similar solution can be found?

  14. Safer-Networking "Spybot - Search & Destroy" It is officially offered for Windows XP in legacy version 2.4.40.0 (2014-10-22). https://download.spybot.info/Spybot2/ It is a free anti-spyware program that offers the possibility of working as an antivirus in a paid version. I downloaded this version 2.4.40 in 2014 and it seemed more complicated than version 1.6.2, so I have since discarded the program. Now I see that it was the last version for XP and that the database is updated to the current date. Definitions can be downloaded in sideload for v. 2.x Version 1.6.2 is also officially offered https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-1-6-2-mirror-1/

  19. I created a GUI installer for my method using Legacy Update's one as a base. You can download it and view sources at the same link (https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsVjtW11rJfA3FQANrgg_QXRMgfx?e=7q2PhN). I've tested it on any version from 2000 to 7 and it works. Tell me if something doesn't.

  21. Nope. Rebuild 1 linked in the first post is the latest. The embedded translate context menu item no longer functions in the "regular" and that context menu item was already removed in "ungoogled". Any links in later discussions are superceded by the links in the first post.

  24. Thank god. The message wasn‘t intrusive on XP/Vista as well. However, once 52.9 ESR was reached a pop-up would come up, informing you about EOL. That will probably happen with the release of the last 115 ESR as well

  25. Oh..., I thought you were asking about Ungoogled Chromium. (See under"Windows 8.1, 8, 7, XP, Vista... and old versions") My instructions only apply to that browser. The last stable version for Windows 7 is 109.0.5414.120 https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases/tag/v109.5414.120-M109.0.5414.120-r1070088-Win64 360chrome is something completely different and I have no experience with it.

  26. Even though I too like the French VLC media player very much, don't forget about the other famous player - MPC-HC, not to be confused with the infamous, cheap knock-off MPC-BE, that can't evn properly handle HD streams. MPC-HC also works very good with the new gen. BluRay UHD.

  27. https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2262 Apparently they will first go from C++11 to C++14 for the next milestone, and they will see a bit later for C++17. C++14 should be fine for XP builds for now, so roy has more time to figure out what to do. Nice to see a polite discussion about XP, It can be felt than the tension has settled down which is a good thing for everyone given the past griefs.

  28. Thank you @AstroSkipper It is due to my personal experience using aforesaid product which you might denote it as subjective. There is an ongoing thread Wilders Security. Please see link below : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/superantispyware-updates-news.391893/ I am absolutely sure you are aware of that. Quite a few, not very encouraging comments on Reddit . Also there is this youtube video where this product is tested against 575 malware. This video is in Portuguese. You can always put English or German subtitles. I have to say that I am enjoying this new thread very much indeed. Thank you Cheers !

That would've come in handy years ago, I still remember that "activated too many times" error and looking for cracks.

  37. I guess another way to look at it is think back and there were things like "Yahoo Groups" and when you think back at those days and compare to today, nobody does "forums" anymore, nobody does "message boards" anymore. It's a Facebook and Twitter universe. WinCert and MSFN and RyanVM, they weren't created to be Facebook. But it doesn't take a lot of looking to see how Facebook "persona" infiltrates MSFN at times.

  39. Agreed, as dark and scary as it sounds, I too think the paranoia is justified. My only frame of reference is my little Midwest USA town. I am well-traveled across Mexico-USA-Canada (have also been to China, Taiwan, and Japan), but I'll use my "average" Midwest USA town as reference. I live a teeny-tiny-miniscule just-under 0.6 miles (0.97 kilometers) from three grocery stores and just under 0.4 miles (0.64 kilometers) from two fast food locations to the south and three fast food locations to the north. I have three gas stations all within 0.7 miles (1.13 kilometers) and one of them is within 0.3 miles (0.48 kilometers). With everything that close and no longer having a gym membership, I use the close proximity to all of these conveniences for WALKING to and from. It's obviously not the same as running that 7- or 8-minute mile at the gym, but this WALK is a h#ll of a lot more than what our "lazy society" has befallen to. 0.6 miles (0.97 kilometers) - this really is just WALKING DISTANCE. I'm talking edge of town Midwest, not metropolitan inner-city. I'm a shirt-and-tie mid-engineering salaried corporate-type with a military-style haircut and always clean-shaven. I'm not talking 1950s versus 2020s, but the world has changed - and the change is a bit scary! At least here in the Midwest USA, you only have to think back to the mid- to late-90s and you had a society where rollerblading and biking and hiking were very popular recreational activities. Nowadays, especially post-covid, a clean-shaven shirt-and-tie salaried-career-oriented law-abiding doesn't-drink doesn't-smoke member of society can not even WALK a mere 0.6 miles without id-iots in cars shouting out their windows. You get people shouting out their window calling me a "meth-head" just because I chose to WALK a teeny-tiny-miniscule 0.6 miles, with a spoon in my pocket, to buy some ice cream, and eat that ice cream during the return walk home. You get people shouting profanities and accusing me of being "homeless" - I paid off my 20yr mortgage in THREE YEARS. You get people flipping me off and telling me to buy a car - I have SIX vehicles and none of them have a car loan. I've often wanted to make a t-shirt that reads, "Yes, I have a car. I'm walking because I want to!" That's where society is these days, recreational activities no longer include a pair of rollerblades (I still have mine) or mountain biking. Our society's recreational activity has befallen to assuming anybody and everybody that WALKS along a sidewalk is a drug user and a homeless burden to society. My only burden is that I pay more taxes then these people shouting profanities out their "winter beater" and assume I'm homeless simply because I chose to WALK to pick up that ice cream snack.

  41. Is there a way to incorporate All of the these updates into one overall install into an even more integrated install than this current Updates folder method? In other words integrate/install all updates so it's now an all in one single install footprint, and does Not need to go though that Updates folder within which has SP2 and the few dozen post SP2 updates - which all those individual updates installers process then adds on so much size and redundancy just to replace files. For instance installing the Office base installer takes up 1.5 GB, but as soon as you install SP2 (which is just replacing files and updating registries) ..but SP2 is yet another nearly 1 GB's of footprint just to keep copies of the old, and then when you add in all the post updates it all adds even more - and all together it creates over 3 GB of an install footprint - when if all the files were truly installed/integrated within itself Beforehand without having to do it as a separate update process via that Updates folder, it would be a much simpler and more efficient install. My point is not about saving space here! ...it's about installer simplicity and efficiency. They do that with new Windows OS versions slip streaming installs all the time right. Why cant it be done with this old Office 2010 SP2 as well? Why the secondary Update folder that installs 'afterwards' onto the base, that adds so much retained bloat?

  42. Then you are definitely posting in the wrong topic thread. And as an end user, post-4.5.2 versions are not for you. Please remove them from your systems immediately.

  45. It seems like the myths: 1) it is not possible to install XP on USB devices 2) well, you can, but it won't be portable are die-hard ones. In a nutshell: 1) it is possible to install XP on partitioned USB devices 2) it is possible, with a few shortcomings, to make it portable between different machines Points of note are: 1) the procedure is DEFINITELY complex, outside the "reach" of the average user, as it needs a deep knowledge of the internals and lots of tweaking/troubleshooting, exception made for the "automated" way supplied by the said USBOOT.ORG, which, if it works on your particular hardware, is reletively simple 2) Nonetheless, once having a build successfully running on a given PC, modifying it to make it "portable" has to be done manually and is as well fairly complex. 3) unless you have a VLK license, it may be an infringement of the EULA, expecially in the case of OEM licenses 4) it might be necessary to use files from beta's (like LONGHORN) or from other Microsoft products, like Server 2003 or XP embedded, which again, without an appropriate VLK or specific license, may constitute an infringement of the EULA jaclaz
