Both The Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather load instantly for me on IMDB using 360Chrome!

... And, believe it or not , I do agree with you on this ; one other serious irritant for me is the preposterous waste of screen vertical space due to their very "tall" address bar: Agreed, too... Grabbed just half an hour ago ; disclaimers: 1) I don't use a NHTPG/HO modded version, 2) as can be seen, I'm using the 360EEv13 dark skin...

I wasn't technically talking to you in particular. More of as a generality. I get the opposite on IMDB - which is just plain slow no matter what browser you use (strictly talking XP). 360Chrome loads The Shawshank Redemption in 20.4 seconds. Kafan took 37.7 seconds to load The Shaswhank Redemption.

Hello @Saxon! Thanks for your reply! Your quote refers to version Comodo Firewall 12.0.0.6818 and is therefore version 12. However, I referred to version Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165 which is obviously version 8 and therefore older. In this thread, a member has also confirmed what I once read in the Comodo forum and therefore wrote to you: TBH, I have not been a fan of Comodo for a long time, and it's a long time ago when I used it. Furthermore, I do not plan to test this firewall. As I already wrote, my firewall is Windows 10 Firewall Control Free XP 7.5.105.217 from Sphinx, and I am not about to uninstall it for testing purpose. If anyone was interested in testing Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165, that would be great, of course.

OK Mister Pedantic, they didn't actually load 'instantly'! They certainly didn't take over 30 seconds to load as was cited earlier though.

No disrespect, but "no, they did not". Visual appearances of rendering may be "instant", but that does not equate to the page loading "instantly". When does the stop watch begin? When does the stopwatch end? I let a "page load timer" extension be that stopwatch - it's the blue number in the upper right corner of my screencaps. But even if we resort to the Network Tab of Dev Tools, you have to define when the stop watch is "started" and when it is "stopped". But NOTHING loads "instantly". Not even a direct fiber optic line between you and the server.

Yep, thanks for pointing to the original post! See, that's what I was talking about in the previous page. Thanks for confirming.

CF makes a series of fingerprints, and canvas isn't the main. They look at CH, WebGl, , System Fonts, Clientrects, IP, device CPU cores count, RAM amount, audio API fingerprint, even if you change the canvas, the rest will stay the same.

Just loaded Kafan into a VM and wow, that is annoying and I couldn't find a way to fix it either.

... I don't think, personally, an apology was owed ; those who follow closely this thread should have already been aware of the original post mentioning Kafan (albeit in a 360EE topic): FWIW, I, too, dislike this "behaviour" and, to this day, have not found a way to override it ...

Sorry. I forgot to say, I am talking about Kafan MiniBrowser, not 360 Extreme Explorer.

He means that whenever you type a website (www.google.com, for example) in the address bar, the website opens in a new tab instead of opening on the same tab.

Vista was fine. Just ahead of it's time with the system requirements. To me, Vista was the best looking Windows ever made. And with the proper hardware it ran rock solid, just like Windows 7. Win11 is the second best looking Windows imo. But I have had more broken OS problems after Windows 11 WU runs. I disliked the messy UI of Windows 10 so I stayed with Windows 7 until 11 came out. Windows 11 will probably get one or two big updates and then it is going to maintenance mode while new development will shift to Windows 12, or whatever the next Windows will be called.

Same idea as canvasblocker on random, for sp52?

OMG. If you're gonna open 20 f'ing tabs in Serpent, please read: (You do need some "real" RAM in your PC, and an SSD wouldn't hurt....) BTW, my old work PC died this week. Kevin thinks its the HDD, but it won't even boot from a CD/DVD, so I think it's the SATA controller, which means the motherboard. So I'm using my laptop, on (ugh) Win 11. No more XP, for the time being at least.... I've noticed that Serpent (55, at least) is way faster on the laptop! If only I could ditch Win 11! I'd even settle for Win 10 at this point.

Well, I hope you do it safely, and covering your tracks. Ahem, I hadn't offered any opinion. The PhD holder in your mind is talking to himself.

Yeah, I am and have always introduced myself as an informed user, period. When I find someething noone else (to my knowledge) has noticed, I post in these (among other) forum(s) so people who know point me in the right direction. PhDs today are worth nothing, in my opinion, beyond the quality of the beholder. And quality recognices no academic boundaries, in my humble experience. PS1: I love the Netherlands. I've been there and done all that and will do it again, shortly. Food included. But in the country where I live, ranked foodwise above the fine dutch cuisine, PhDs are things that money pays. And in the streets of my country's cities (they do still exist, like they do in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, at least) they are considered relatively well paid servants of oligopolistic crooks, for the most part. There are of course, exceptions, and among them, only a few (I dare to guess) use XP. Unless they are wise enough. Be well.

Hello @Saxon! As I already wrote here, users reported in the Comodo Forum that the last error-free working version under Windows XP has been Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165. Have you really tried this version? Actually, it should work under Windows XP.

Thank you, interesting observations. I am of the same opinion, it was fine up to 2015. I wonder if upgrading even makes sense.

All languages are included in this project. But the inventories are hard to get in all the supported languages. As for V4 updates, they're firstly added in english to properly fix them, and then translated.

as I have seen before in lots of places windows 11 is already being nicknamed the windows vista 2.0 and that its predicted to get the same forgotten path as vista originally did so my question is what will the future be for windows 11 or is it's legacy already painted along side vistas?

AstroSkipper, thank you for fast reply! I thought the Finnish guy was talking about Komodo firewall 6, his post was rather confusing. There was several versions, like. Comodo Internet Security 6.0.260739 Comodo Internet Security 6.0.264710 I already wrote before, on my XP install 5.x and 6x. were the last good working ones.

I am a bit biased, of course, but I see zero reason why anybody would use Kafan's v87 over 360Chrome's v86. ZERO. Okay, "dark mode" is a very very tiny reason. But of no use to me personally. But of course the following applies - My experience, mileage may vary - only one YouTube tab and the audio is very very very CHOPPY on Kafan and gobbles up way more RAM than 360Chrome and NO CHOPPINESS on 360Chrome. Kafan with one YouTube tab = 519 MB RAM !!! 360Chrome with one YouTube tab = 426 MB RAM - 18% Lower! edit - had to delete profile attachments, ran out of room

To be honest, I don't use Kafan anyway (only 360Chrome), so I don't know, but others who have been using Kafan could answer your question.

Oh well then, sorry for creating confusion and for not being clear in my post.

If you have the tabs settings set that way, bookmarks should always open in a new tab, as should address bar links. With links in web pages, it seems to depend on how they are programmed.

I'd go with that too ^. MSE has some big annoyances like flagging up a problem and then giving you no other option, whatever the settings, but to 'quarantine' the file. Can you then simply tell it to ignore the problem, as 98% of what it flags up are FPs? No, you have to go through the rigmarole of 'allowing' the item, bizarrely under the History tab. However, that aside, it works. Failing this I'd consider Panda too. I've had that running on a WinXP VM for several years since MSE stopped being compatible with XP installations. It is unobtrusive and although you get occasional pop-ups they're few and far between. You could not pay me to use any recent 'free' AVAST. I used to love it because it quietly did what it was supposed to do but now, in fact for some time, it has been the epitome of the worst aspects of obnoxiously intrusive, self-promoting, adware-like 'free' software. I also can not forgive AVAST for ruining Piriform's CCleaner in much the same way and neglecting for years almost all Piriform's other other useful tools.

What if you change your fingerprint periodically: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/no-canvas-fingerprinting/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search They can collect all the fingerprints they like, but they're quickly rendered useless.

Reported on Pale Moon forum, they both use The New CSS Reset.

You're welcome! Glad it works for you!

Interesting! And what if one just extracts them, and then installs via the simple "inf" method?

It's not an overclock per se. The BIOS just unlocks the boost limit. And all voltages will stay the same. It doesn't mean the card will run in boost mode for 24/7, and you have a proper ventilated case.

this is an old problem since feb uncovered by https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/9824659d3c6b1c4fdc2616f789f0696d1cbe2ef8 and https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/b7e4530861fcc971aee9d867b3b376e31263486c and they said it is fixed by https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/1f0df8f421626bcbc397512773f3043d72d96a4f but I still need to revert first 2 mentioned commits in order to make it not crashing. Thanks for the information! It would be great if reverting these commits really fixes these crashes. In the meanwhile, I had a further crash in mozglue.dll.

Thanks for the tip! Setting dom.webcomponents.enabled to false did the trick. Does setting this preference to false have a negative impact on other functions?

Ideally, ungoogled-chromium would be the best option. Also I'm still not sure why someone didn't take a backup of the svn/git repo of the last known working compile for win7 along with the build tools, that would at least make it easier to analyse the source at a fixed point in time and perhaps backport things.

Yeah, and I will defo stay away from it too ! From what I was able to find . Key stuff of ProtonMail (current) : Andy Yen (CEO/Founder) , Varun , Kabra. Doesn't sound like English names to me.

I totally forgot to mention the main reason why you can't easily put ProxHTTPSProxy in first place. There are three executables relating to heinoganda's proxy, two located in program's root directory and the main executable in a subfolder of it, all with different functIons. In contrast HTTPSProxy has got only one executable. Therefore it's easy to put HTTPSProxy.exe in first place but not in case of ProxHTTPSProxy.

Thanks for comparing of yours to mine! But I think that your project, which I will take a closer look at as soon as possible, is much more demanding and plays in a different league. I'm not a professional programmer and have little experience with high-level programming languages. I'm more of a batch programmer. My projects are probably less demanding than yours. Still, I feel quite honored. Thank you for the flowers! My first post is rather meant as an article with full information about our existing proxies and will be maintained or extented if necessary. It is the result of my knowledge and a lot of researching. All important information in one place for those who are interested in that kind of stuff. I did my very best in well structuring of content and in full support of visitors or members. And I added my own stuff like modified, fixed, updated or self created versions of different tools. The people who find reading my article too tiring or simply too complicated, are not the people I want to reach or support. Therefore I disagree with making of a new thread. But I totally agree with your suggestion to restructure the download section. It has become a bit bloated and maybe confusing too. Thanks again for your opinion! Always welcome!

Thanks again for your support and your kind words! I appreciate your opinion very much. I hope you can understand a bit what's going on in my head right now.

Hi @Dave-H, What's a shame? BTW I've found out which OpenSSL version is used in HTTPSProxy. As guessed it's OpenSSL 1.1.0i, so no support of TLS 1.3 in HTTPSProxy.

@heinoganda's cacert_Updater.exe contains three files: CERTUPD.bat (batch file containing several commands), HTTPDL.exe (downloader) and URLLINK (file containing download-link of cacert.pem). After examination I found out that the downloader HTTPDL.exe doesn't do its job anymore i.e. the downloader couldn't connect to the server targeted in download-link of URLLINK. Therefore I have updated HTTPDL.exe to new version which is working properly again in Windows XP. Is that detailed enough? Anyway, thanks for your interest!

Hi to all and especially to @mina7601, As I posted above and confirmed by @mina7601, the cacert Updater of @heinoganda's ProxHTTPSProxy packages doesn't work anymore. Applying the file cacert_Updater.exe leads to the message "Roots Certificates could not be updated!". I have analyzed this problem and could fix the file cacert_Updater.exe. Now it works in the way as it should be. Here is a download-link of the new version of cacert Updater in form of a separate archive: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uf20arawpbuiz2y/cacert_Updater_Fixed.7z/file Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Thanks for commenting! And now I have a mathematical statement for you: @Windows7fan = @xpandvistafan I think after evaluation the boolean truth value has to be set to true. What do you think? PS: I hope today is my day!

Thank you for providing a download link of ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e! I have added your link to my article above in section Downloads so that the reader has a better overview.

You're absolutely right. I mixed up the date with Windows ME. I've checked my earliest image and it must have been created in 2004 but it doesn't exist any more. I had deleted all old images below Service Pack SP3. So my earliest version is of 2009. It had been a long time ago. Sorry for causing confusion!

Hi, yes , HD audio (bypass through HDMI to receiver). I've tried all drivers starting from May 2013 and up to 372.70. Right now I have 344.60 installed and will leave it be for some time. I've tried almost all available drivers using both Vista and 7 - the result is the same, no DTS HD MA with Vista , could this be an artificial block which happens upon the installation ? Maybe the installer writing smth to the registry ? I'm just guessing ... If I check with with the panel "playback devices/supported formats" , there are only DTS and DD5.1, so I tried to add registry entries from W7 , now it says DTS-HD also , but it doesn't help to bypass the sound. All Video players I've tried still force DTS HD to be played as usual DTS. I remember there was a similar problem with XP , it had limitations to support "DTS stereo" only . I'm not sure who to blame , Nvidia clearly says DTS HD MA is available with GTX780.
