@Anbima answered that question April 20. SSE2 should be no problem.

Don't these browsers simply respect your choice for HTTP rather than switch to HTTPS whenever possible? BTW, http://html5test.com/ doesn't respond to Upgrade-Insecure-Requests header. Also, when the main site is not the issue, eg. api.whichbrowser.net in this case, you can visit the security settings, the dialog with certificates, on the Servers tab, you can add an exception if you want the browser to ignore the expired certificate. Not in this case I think. BTW, these browsers block insecure (meaning HTTP) active content by default (scripts). There's an override in about:config->security.mixed_content.block_active_content. --- Regarding 2FA, yeah, not a fan of having online services tied to another device or anything else beyond a password, which I think is still safe if the user is mindful. But banks enforce it because EU wants to and it seems like switching banks more likely than not just means you need another app. Maybe there are still banks that offer to send a SMS rather than having to rely on an app which has to have encrypted stuff stored on the device and if that stuff is gone, you're locked out. Though it's the same with SMS if the phone goes kaput, but at least no worries about activating the damn app.

They definitely don't, while the older ones can have troubles with mixed content on pages. Is this the case? Did you check all connections on that page? Do you use adblock? And check whether it could also be a remote font issue.

Any more political rants here will not be tolerated. That is forbidden here in technical threads.

I'm sorry, but this can not be taken serious in 2023 year. The first CPU with SSE2 was released in year 2000. That's more then 22 years ago. Let those people go and upgrade to something more modern. Windows XP works so much better on 4-core systems. Now we have even 8 core Ryzen work with XP. There is no excuses left for staying on none SSE2 system now. Go and upgrade to at least Core2Duo or Athlon64X2 - they are dirt cheap now. I repeat there is no excuses to seat on, like Pentium 3 or Athlon XP and demand everyone attention. Those systems are completely obsolete, they serve people well for 2 decades, now live them alone and upgrade! Thank you! Finally someone with common sense and logic.

@Monroe! Thanks again for reporting that Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 is able to receive most recent definition updates in 2023! That are really great and good news. Although updating of definitions failed initially when instalIing this version, I found yet a way to get the update function of this version working again under Windows XP. It was a bit tricky but it works now such as you reported. I will write an article about that very soon. Thanks again! You are simply great. And here is the proof in form of screenshots: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Firefox has a nasty bug, where it can't properly process enterprise or self-signed roots. If you encountered them, I advise to add this string to default.ini and then try again, security.enterprise_roots.enabled=true

1 - I want to give a hint to use dev. builds with Metrics And Crash Sampling disabled. Goto: chrome://version/ scroll to the bottom and see: Active Variations : MetricsAndCrashSampling:OutOfReportingSample 2 - The perfect solution for this chrome not being able to use H264 videos is to redirect it to the installed system codecs. It would be perfectly legal since, for example, K-Lite is free. EDIT : under chrome://gpu says it can't load msmpeg2vdec.dl

115.0.5760.0 R2 Feedback : All of the issues with dark theme - fixed ! Millions of Crashpads in the Crashpad are no more (only one small, like it supposed to be). Sandbox - fixed. The browser is flawless. Though, I'll still be dreaming of the undoodled port. Even though it is a bit older (always).

it's not, it resets the profile, if brought to another PC. So as any usual chrome version and opera.

And it looks like it doesn't know the flag disable crashpad, I have millions of them in the Crashpad folder.

And a suggestion to remove the portion of the code which creates BrowserMetrics-xxxxxxxx-xxxxx.pma in the BrowserMetrics folder and BrowserMetrics-spare.pma in the data folder. It can be lots of them ! Each is 4mb or so. Created every start. These ones have all of the info about ones PC , from what I gather through GetOEMCP and similar,

I currently run Vista at March 2019, also 6003 (had to because of the two games from 2022). The only way to run is like I said above. And you're right, it works on Win 7 without the updates at all. I have a question, is it supposed to have a highlighted (on the top, with a blindingly white colour) new tab when it's unused ? I'm using the dark theme flags. Also, another important question, is it fully portable ? Will machine ID off flag work ? Does it understand disable-encryption ? Thanks.

I just tried and it works - only if I use the extended list of my flags + the famous NO sanbox. But works very good, I mean, it starts faster than its counterparts. Other than that, I had no time to fully test. EDIT: But I'm sure it's good because it was made by win32 (c).

It doesn't work for me, also. It starts for a second .... and then the window just disappears. Windows 7 and Vista, both. Windows 7 is updated to Jan. 2020 . Vista is updated to May 2019. Build 6003. Both computers have nVidia cards (you said it helps to run with the sandbox function).

Of course ! It's non-modded versions (the links were given for win32, mostly). For Win 7/8 you need to use v.109 from these links. For Vista with Kernel - 110 or 111.

Sorry for the confusion. I should have mentioned this post. As I mentioned in my first post, the latest version of Spybot for Windows XP is 2.4.40. This does allow updating the database. On the web they also offer version 1.6.2 but this does not allow updating the database. The versions that allow updating the database is from v.2 onwards.

AstroSkipper - Nice presentation of the three versions of Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 ... really great images also. Kind of interested to try the Pro version again, might like having it on the computer. Glad this all worked out and you figured out the updating problem. Nice to have this older version come back to life and being used again. Thanks for the 'off topic' information earlier. Monroe ...

UPDATE ! Mozilla pushed an update this afternoon, and it was for the move to ESR.

Good for you! Actually, many AV vendors (Avast/AVG, Panda, Kaspersky, etc.) made free versions that included real-time protection you know. Back in those days, nobody thought Malwarebytes was any substitute for a real antivirus, e.g. Martin Brinkmann in his April 10, 2013 article about version 1.75: https://www.ghacks.net/2013/04/10/malwarebytes-anti-malware-1-75-update-adds-archive-scanning/ Malwarebytes Premium was not certified by AV Test until October 2018: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/manufacturer/malwarebytes/

I also have the Pro version since it was reasonable to get and Malwarebytes said at the time that 'def updates' would still be available as newer versions were released. I decided I didn't care for 'the real time protection' running all the time. I went back to the free version since I really just wanted to scan downloaded files.

That advice applies equally to Malwarebytes 3.5.1, which is already 5 years old itself. It did not bother to check for OS compatibility before pushing a program update.

Regarding crypto.randomUUID(), for use in Chromium 86 and other recent enough browsers, having the code that covers ancient browsers (what is Internet Explorer?) is a bit redundant since those parts will never be executed in practice. I'd just use: if (!('randomUUID' in crypto)) // https://stackoverflow.com/a/2117523/2800218 // LICENSE: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode crypto.randomUUID = function randomUUID() { return ( [1e7]+-1e3+-4e3+-8e3+-1e11).replace(/[018]/g, c => (c ^ crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1))[0] & 15 >> c / 4).toString(16) ); }; Regarding phones, I think the issue is that people suck. Here, phone functions are mostly used for establishing contact when someone's not home. Those few I communicate with, if it's used, then it must be important enough.

Just to add ... if anyone decides to use Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300, don't forget to uncheck: 'Download and install program update if available' .... 'Settings' tab / 'Updater Settings' tab. I seem to remember that if you forget you will be updated to a new version 'at the speed of light' and you will lose everything. I have nothing checked on that page ... total blank. Also, I only update when the program has completely opened. When you first start the program and if you have not run it for awhile ... a little window box will pop up asking if you would like to update the 'definition files'. I just say 'no' and do it after the program has completely opened with the 'Update' tab. This is something I do, probably not necessary but when my updates stopped four years ago and started again, I just decided to start doing that ... just let the program completely open and then update. At the time I was just happy to have v1.75.0.1300 working again and didn't want to mess anything up with a 'quick update' when I can just do it later in a minute or two. This is probably overkill on my part but with the program trying to open and also getting updates ... just seems it can't hurt with an old program to not rush things.

@Monroe! Thanks again for reporting that Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 is able to receive most recent definition updates in 2023! That are really great and good news. Although updating of definitions failed initially when instalIing this version, I found yet a way to get the update function of this version working again under Windows XP. It was a bit tricky but it works now such as you reported. I will write an article about that very soon. Thanks again! You are simply great.

Until 2020, Malwarebytes offered offline updaters for definition updates. Its file was named mbam-rules.exe. I am looking for the most recent, i.e., last officially provided version. All possible, working antimalware programmes targeting Windows XP are important to be listed here. If Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 is still receiving definition updates, although it was abandoned years ago, it would be unbelievable and great. I personally liked this version very much.

I will give a simple hint, Very simple, but not everyone knows. When you're on a slow, old PC, especially if you have a mechanical HDD, wait for all extensions to kick in, after you opened the browser!

Thank you very much for uploading screenshots! As far as I understood you correctly, you didn't change any settings, and you didn't modify anything. Right? Another question: Do you have one of the last offline definition updaters for this version? Mine is from 2019. In any case, it seems I have to test it once again all from scratch.

Thanks again for checking and confirming! Thus, according to your observation, Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 is receiving definition updates again. Unbelievable! I will have to try this out at the next opportunity. Maybe, someone else here in the forum is using this version and can confirm this. @Monroe Can you be so kind to provide a screenshot from the update tab of Malwarebytes v1.75.0.1300 to have a look at your data in terms of definition updates? I tried this version again, and updating doesn't work at all. Malwarebytes can't connect to its host for updating. Thanks in advance!

It must leave you a log file.

Thanks for your nice words and your trust! Although I considered Kaspersly to be avoided due to significant security risks, the mature readers of this thread have to decide for themselves whether to use such software or not. Talking about Kaspersky here in my thread is not off-topic, though. It is rather a topic that I think has been discussed enough by now. And to permanently offer others something that you are not willing to use yourself is somehow questionable. Anyway! I only decided not to write an article about Kaspersky and not to offer it as an option for Windows XP. But as always, readers must answer to themselves for the use of such software, which is fraught with considerable concerns, and then also bear the potentially resulting dangers themselves.

Did you actually read the US gov. labs statement, where they caught Kaspersky injecting malicious code into browsers? Well, the member Vistapocalypse pushes the old version, which is affected! I'm not sure why some members choose to ignore it! I took a leave from this site, I came back, I see the same user pushes the same old Kaspersky, at the same time he declares he never used Kaspersky himself, and doesn't have XP! I find his actions suspicious, to say the least! You?

For all owners of a computer with a processor, that does not have more than the SSE instruction set, the air is getting thinner. The number of antimalware programmes that offer real-time protection has shrunk dramatically in recent years. The End Of Life (EOL) of Avast Antivirus 2015 was to be expected in any case. Like all AV providers, old versions are no longer supported after a certain point, and thus no further virus definitions are delivered. As a first measure, I recommend to save the last offline definition updater, when automatic definition updates will stop, to use this version as long as wanted and to have the possibility of a later reinstallation. Here is the link of the definition updater for Avast Antivirus 2015: https://install.avcdn.net/ivps9x/vpsupd.exe And for all those who, like me, have withdrawn their trust in Kaspersky and still need an antimalware programme with a background guard for their old computer after September 2023, there will be another solution beyond Kaspersky. I will write about it soon.

Thanks for this nice statement! And thanks for your detailed report! I asked you if you'd use the IPv6 protocol because old firewalls like Sygate or old versions of ZoneAlarm might lack of this feature. But the IPv4 protocol is no problem for them, of course. Are you still receiving most recent definition updates dated of July 2023? As far as I know, Malwarebytes stopped rolling out those updates for all versions below 3. Please be so kind and check again the date and version of your last definition updates! I tried the version 1.75.0.1300 months ago, and it didn't work for me.

Thanks for reporting! And no problem! There was no hurry. I'm afraid I can't forget that easily. I can remember very well. This antivirus feature, no one wanted to have seriously. So you still satisfied with this version in 2023, and it works as it should? Do you use the IPv6 protocol?

Latest Thunderbird upgrade supports Windows 7: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/115.0/releasenotes/ However, it seems version 116 beta will require Windows 10.

1. I'm pretty sure you ripped it out of context to start another political debate, don't do that, DAVE already warned you, so I'm ignoring it. Also, you again misinterpreted what I wrote, I'm ignoring it (again). Who are you to decide what is "extreme" or not ? From what you told us here on the forum, you're a helper of deputy, not a judge. Go back to my original answer you replied to. Read the sentence No. 2 ,which you deleted from my original posting , (requires minimum English skills at CEFR A1). 2. Aren't you the one who is against Extended Kernels ? And again, you yourself wrote here "from what I've seen in the "code" of CatsXP, I'm not gonna do it". So, why do we need a "dirty" telemetry browser here ? BTW, you never answered what you meant by the "code".

Thanks ! Maybe also block/remove the postings with the promotions of china made browsers then ? Not only due to the safety concerns (since they aren't even properly vetted), but also due to the off-topic activities. This needs to be just as the topic suggests, agree with you Dave, as usual.

Apparently you also can not read Ukrainian, because on screenshot everything is on Ukrainian language. Also i don't understand the meaning of your post and photo. This is your Asus computer on photo? Or you manage Rozetka to work properly with New Moon? Did i miss something? Is this now must have for Pale\New Moon ? I install it and rozetka still glitch the same. This is how i view Rozetka now:

https://rozetka.com.ua/ Is completely unusable at this point with 2022-07-20 versions of New Moon and Serpent 52. Not even rendered basically. But old 360EE 11 show it right. Can anybody have any ideas? Should i complain on Pale Moon forum as PM also fail to show it right under Windows7 ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microprocessors#Netburst_based_Celerons_2 As you can see on page above - ALL mobile Celerons starting from 1400 Mhz have SSE2 instruction set. Therefore you can use modern browser that require SSE2. Also you can look at bottom of your laptop to tell us (or me personally) what exact model of laptop you have - because A LOT of laptops allow you to replace processor on more powerful. I know examples when Yonah-based Celeron M was replaced on Core 2 Duo which triple up raw compute power of laptop. Used top processors for laptops from 2004-2009 era usually cost from 6 to 15 bucks and can be easily found in internet. You also can right-click mouse on My Computer and choose "Properties" to see what processor do you have now. But to tell us what laptop do you have is also desirable if you want to know how upgrade your laptop, because remember - a lot of laptops can be upgraded in many ways. What i advise you, Inox, are simple tasks - no special skills are required for this. Because it is obvious that Inox have SSE2 processor - it is logical to advise him to try new Pale Moon from roytam1.

Did someone finally figured out how fix that bug in Firefox 52.9 ESR?

Yes, but every 23 minutes picture (but not sound) freeze and i should click button "Live" near youtube volume regulator to unfreeze picture. Currently i use 52.9.0.
