VirtualBox 6.1.46 runs in Vista

New Google Chrome browser security plan slammed by experts

this could be earlier than you posted. (but this is not my work as a whole) https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/e56b7b826d6f4f8cb1fc4bcd06fce7786540784c

It was the problem with W3 total cache ,WordPress plug-in. I removed it :3

You do not need to remove this post. It was just a hint if you have further issues with 360Chrome or other Chrome forks. The discussion here was mainly about web compatibility in terms of two websites, mediamarkt.de and saturn.de which were tested in 360Chrome and Kafan browser, too, just for comparison purpose.

Why remove, when you could simply ask a moderator to move your post to the correct thread?

Hello @WSC4! Issues related to 360Chrome and other Chrome forks should be posted in their corresponding threads. We have a lot of them. FYI, this thread is actually about @roytam1's browser editions.

When I create a new post containing own images, I always upload them to an image hoster before. I think a post should also be able to be understood by readers in the future. Especially, if one, as for example me, has created articles with information which should be preserved for as long as possible. And I personally am not too lazy to insert the golden rule:

Technically, none of the 360Chrome versions are being "maintained". They have all hit FINAL release stage. Humming Owl no longer updates his versions and is much less of an active member as he once was, but he still does visit on occasion:

Hello! Many of the newer motherboards come (ore came) with an Intel I219-V GbE LAN on it (alt least until they were replaced with the newest 2,5+ GbE chips). Having had achieved a nice XP installation on my "new" GA-Z170-D3H and a Win7 install beside - with the properly working "(2) i219-V" LAN device there - i started searching the web for infos related to the I219 and XP. First stumbled across this site - point 7 - where Embedded-drivers for the i217-V were listed. [The link (on upload.ee) has expired however, i've got this pack and could upload it here... but not necessary, see below] Togeher with a promising hint: "If exactly your network card is not in the driver (e1d5132.inf) explicitly, it must be added by replacing the DEV_ID of the neighboring, close in name. " Quite optimistic with that, i isolated the Pro1000 driver files and modded it for my '(2) i219-V' / 8086_15B8 (same identifier as in Win7), started the driver-installation, it kind-of-worked, but it ended up with an error: > PCI bus 0, Device 31, Function 6: Code 10 - The device can't be started. Astonishingly enough: Some users have seen exactly this error with the i219-V in Windows 10 too! (https://www.google.de/search?q=i219-V+Windows+code+10) Now, let's take a look at the situation in Windows7 where the i219-V works nicely on the same board: The i217, i218 and i219 Win7-drivers can be easily found on the web (eg. here ). I found out, that in the relevant e1d6232.inf all the devices I217-V, I218-V and the I219-V are treated absolutely identically. And they all share the same 'Registry Settings' section well. So i searched further and found another page (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=46865&start=20), where user b_w (hello b_w, are you here too??) offers a *modded* driver - for the "Intel Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V". Examinating the e1d5132.inf there, i found it modded (for his 15A1 / (2) i218-V ) the same way as i did it for my 15B8 / (2) i219-V described above. But halt! In the driver folder of that driver.7z there is a modded e1d5132.sys too! The difference - compared to the original e1d5132$.sys - are 2 bytes, at position 0x138 and 0x139. But also with this new, modded e1d5132.sys the driver installation ends with the same error 10. So the .sys driver seems to correspond with the devices in the .inf driverfile?! At this point i had to make a break, for the first... and decided to start this topic. Please note: 1) This Intel i219-V LAN can be found on quasi every second mainboard (or even more) - getting it working in XP would imo mean e big leap for their XP-usability. 2) 1) implies, that newer Mini-ITX HW (with an i219) could be considerbale for an XP-build as in this case no extra PCI-LAN is necessary, Additional links: - The i219-V Product specificaten page i219 product brief: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getcontent/333229 i219 datasheet: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getcontent/612523 - The i218-V Product specificaten page Datasheet and Product-brief for the i218

In the last few weeks there has been a lot of concerns about Google's new Web Environment Integrity proposal and its possible effects on web freedom. One particular concern that I don't feel can be addressed is the fact that old versions of Windows (and other unsupported operating systems) are likely to not be certified meaning only "supported" systems will be able to access large amounts of the internet if the proposal is successful. Expect large amounts of sites to use it, including banking websites, paywalled news sites, DRM'd video sites and social networks that could potentially be blocked from being accessed. Since remote attestation will be used and possibly be enforced by TPMs and signed drivers it might be impossible to get say Windows 7 to be certified for a WEI protected site. If you want to be able to continue to browse the web on older operating systems please oppose the proposal for WEI.

... FWIW, that "Original download link" now produces a "Server not found" error ...

Hi, with Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22631.2129 it hangs at startup and desktop loads only if i hold Escape.

Okay here are all Office 97 Patches after SR-2 including all security updates and non-security hotfixes by request. If the update is superseded by a newer update, the older one isn't included: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ow159kc8poo75jl/O97PostSP2Updates.zip Here's the same for Office 2000: All Post-SP3 updates: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c47ngtkmhy7ayua/Off2000PostSP3.zip And Office XP Post SP2 updates: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j0zdwe4woufmp80/OFFXPPostSP3.zip

Here is a link for the old Sandboxie webpage describing Known Conflicts: https://sandboxie-website-archive.github.io/www.sandboxie.com/KnownConflicts.html Kaspersky was indeed listed (among other software), but IDK if this old information is applicable to SBIE 5.40, which Sampei.Nihira mentioned in a December 2020 post.

Of course it does! "It's all relative." And you can not compare REAL v86 to backport v86 in XP, now can you? Backport v86 is "faster" than REAL v86 in Win10 and in Win7 - my point was that you cannot blanket-statement backports as "inefficient". Inefficient is another way of saying "slower". One of the laptops is triple-boot - XP, 7, and 10. Backport v86 on same hardware and on same network is FASTER than real v86. But no, you cannot test real v86 in XP, we all already know that. Feel free to test on your hardware, backported v86 is FASTER than real v86 - and I'm quite confident that it is for everyone, "not just me".. On XP x64 - Backport v86 scores 75.04. Serpent 52 scores 36.5. New Moon 28 scores 37.7. Next I suppose you'll probably want to see "real" Firefox 52 and "real" Firefox 28 - but I don't have them and I leave that to those that are interested in the results.

YES.

Serpent 52 is a browser application built on (a fork of) the UXP platform, the same platform the official Pale Moon browser (by Moonchild Productions) is built on; more technically, Serpent 52 is a fork of the official Basilisk browser application, but these two forks have somewhat diverged from each other over time... While UXP was forked from Mozilla 52.6esr initially (and that was years ago), UXP-based browsers have been equipped with a plethora of recent web API technologies and the XP-compatible forks (New Moon 28/Serpent 52/a few other) have empowered "legacy" OS (XP/Vista) users to surf a very large chunk of the 2023 WWW ... Be that as it may, no UXP-based browser will be a perfect match, webcompatibility-wise, for recent versions of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, especially on the many, JS-infested , "popular" sites of this era... The XP-compatible UXP-forks are being maintained by roytam1, more info can be found in the respective thread(s) ...

A valid concern. Also, @roytam1would have to implement support in his browsers as well, or else websites that use this API would just not work, even if the underlying OS would be trusted. Googles own sites, like Gmail and YouTube would be among the first to implement this... Also, no more video downloading with e.g. yt-dlp. Code has been committed to the Chromium source already. https://vivaldi.com/blog/googles-new-dangerous-web-environment-integrity-spec/ https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#issuecomment-1648820747 (pinging @VistaLover)

Because those browsers and the OS they were developed for, they all matched perfectly. Modern Chrome was never meant to run on XP and shitload of compromises are made for them to run on it. That's what all these backports really are, a bunch of compromises, inefficiencies and half-baked or non-working features.

Oh, it's fine, like I said, I can live without seeing the attachments, thank you, I know how to change the IP, I even tried with a very famous VPN (that everyone knows, they usually unblock everything), I tried right now, all the same.

It was @VistaLover, it's not the first time I see his attachments show up like this, No offence, I don't read his posts, mostly because we don't share the same interests, it's just an observation. This time I decided to look at them.

Chrome 117 for XP, it's not happening, forget it. My hunch, they started to serve you different content, try to change UA, possibly even to mobile. I still suggest to try VPN. https://www.useragentlist.net/chrome-android-13/

Hello @UCyborg! Thank you very much for sharing your "mediamarkt.de | saturn.de quick fix" userscript! I tried it in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and 55. Although there are issues with images in the item lists as already reported by @VistaLover, it works and makes these websites readable again. In Palefill 1.27, martok also made fixes for mediamarkt's login area. Nevertheless, I hope there will be a solution of all these issues one day coded in NM and SP themselves. BTW, I am a customer of Media Markt's online shop and I am glad to be able to use this site in NM and SP again. Thanks again!

I have non-uBO ad-blocks and IMDB loads within 4 seconds when they're enabled. The only way for me to perform a true apples-to-apples comparison for Kafan is to compare out-of-the-box Kafan with out-of-the-box 360Chrome. No extensions (except Page Load Timer) that would tilt either one in their favor. Wouldn't have been "fair" for me to report that IMDB took 40 seconds in Kafan but only 4 seconds in my non-uBO ad-block'd 360Chrome. I also "refuse" to run any browser other than the ones that I personally tweak on my host OS. So the above comparison is Kafan and 360Chrome ran within a 2MB RAM XP VM.

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

Patch is welcomed! since I don't have proper hardware/driver to test it in my side.

I agree, but when one just points out to the facts, no MSFN rule against it, no rule that would forbid to name the official investors/owners. Like you wisely pointed out, we are the customers, and have the right to know who owns them. "Russia funded Facebook, Twitter investments through Kushner investor." "Institutions with close links to Kremlin": https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/russia-funded-facebook-twitter-investments-kushner-investor "Facebook is taking that rumored $200 million investment from Digital Sky Technologies, a Russian investment group... giving Facebook a $10 billion valuation." This one is from 2009, so $200 million/ $10 billion was a lot, lot more. https://techcrunch.com/2009/05/26/facebook-takes-that-200-million-investment-from-the-russians-at-a-10-billion-valuation/

That's the culprit! You need to use MBR!

No, I meant the below fixes need to be applied in the registry if you want to change from AHCI to IDE. I should've been more specific, sorry. I was under the impression you would understand: Change to AHCI mode from IDE mode: You can use the MS Fix it tool or edit the registry yourself. Link to tool here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976/ Regedit: 1. Exit all Windows-based programs. 2. Press [Win] + R or take the RUN option from the start menu. 3. Now type Regedit there and press Enter Key to open up the Registry Editor Window. (If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.) 4. Locate and then click the following registry sub key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci 5. In the right pane right-click Start in the Name column and then click Modify. 6. In the Value data box, type 0 [3 is default], and then click OK. 7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor. 8. Restart your computer 9. Go to UEFI/BIOS and enable AHCI, Save & Reboot 10. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation. Change to ACHI mode from RAID mode: 1. Exit all Windows-based programs. 2. Press [Win] + R or take the RUN option from the start menu. 3. Now type regedit there and press Enter Key to open up the Registry Editor Window. 4. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue. 5. Locate and then click the following registry subkeys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pciide HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi 6. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify. 7. In the Value data box, type 0 [3 is default], and then click OK. 8. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor. 9. Restart your computer 10. Go to UEFI/BIOS and enable AHCI, Save & Reboot 11. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation. Note: You might not have the last registry key (iastor) as this is installed in the registry with the intel raid drivers, the default windows 7 raid driver uses the iastorV key. Change to RAID mode from AHCI mode or IDE mode: 1. Exit all Windows-based programs. 2. Press [Win] + R or take the RUN option from the start menu. 3. Now type regedit there and press Enter Key to open up the Registry Editor Window. 4. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue. 5. Locate and then click the following registry subkeys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor 6. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify. 7. In the Value data box, type 0 [3 is default], and then click OK. 8. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor. 9. Restart your computer 10. Go to UEFI/BIOS and enable RAID, Save & Reboot 11. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.

Press it many times to catch the moment.

Hello @D.Draker! It's not really a torture to use my old computer. Yes, this machine is slow and low on system resources, but very stable and reliable. A computer that has grown older with me and has never let me down despite unbelievable disasters. It would be difficult for me to send it to retirement. Every screw, modification or repair was done by me personally. I know this machine inside out. Now do you understand what the problem is? And, of course, your machine you descibed above is time-period correct for running Windows XP!

Description of of a time-period correct computer running Windows XP owned by an infamous Frisian (I also have others but not running Windows XP). My Windows XP computer is equipped with a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Northwood single core CPU and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. and can't be upgraded anymore due to the motherbord's layout. No SSD, no SATA but IDE hard disks, and the graphic card is NVIDIA 6200 AGP 4x. A more recent desktop computer will be built by me in the next weeks. At the moment, no time to do that! Anyway, presumably, no hardware for running MiniBrowser without getting more grey hair than I already have! Cheers, AstroSkipper

To the 5th - And from what I understood , you're still living with your parents , which is actually good for the global warming , I guess.

Hi ! What response are you talking about ? exactly

Yet again proves my point about this whole ecological agenda being 100% politics.

Oh , that was a fine read ... but geez ... you could defeat thy enemy with texting.

What a wise (or at least normal) government would do ?

1 - By the capitalist countries I meant not the ones who recently fell off the Eastern bloc (while I was clubbing in the 90's). And it's a big question if they really fell off or *just pretending*, no offence and nothing personal towards you. 2 - I coudn't agree more ! I also live in a tourist city . I think you can't even imagine how good I understand you . Though this year we had much less russkie tourists that was the main source of pollution, and what tourists visit your town ? From which countries ?

No prob. since you warned us ! ))) Good to have you back ! I'm sure you're living green too.

So then why do YOU violate this very rule yourself and suggest (directly or indirectly) that someone who opposes or protests would seem "low IQ" ? Is this what you call "respect" ? And what about your recent rollup saying that I write "jibber jabber" posts ? Maybe this is "respect" in your opinion ? "Jibber jabber is Incoherent and unintelligible rapid speech often in slang or patois. Used in the UK as a disparaging name for other languages such as French ..." https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jibber%20Jabber disparaging: [adjective] meant to belittle the value or importance of someone or something : serving or intended to disparage someone or something What are you? Maybe of some "special/godly/holy" race , better than the others ? Higher value than the French ? So this is you who don't respect and flame me on a daily basis.

Caution! You might accidentally insult the Greenpeace ecologists and BLM . And being older age , I'm pretty sure you might remember when the Soviet Union fell apart , Gorbachev released the secret documents where they acknowledged : the "green" movements were financed by the soviets to undermine the West and its economy and later the arabs joined and started to finance them too , in order to jack up the oil prices and whatnot. Seeing Russia is back to the good ol' soviet days (it actually never went away), I wonder does it have something to do with the current gas prices ? lol . I also wonder when/if some similar documents would be released regarding the BLM. The last sentence is off-topic of course , so please excuse me.

Where do you see any signs of capitalism in the World ? It's gone. The Pentagon is hiring a new Director for Diversity Equity and Inclusion. Apply within the next two weeks. Salary range $163,333-$203,700 per year. https://usajobs.gov/job/657467500 "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion". Plain old communism in a new pink cover, in normal words. That instead of showing *them* who's the *boss* . And then you all wonder about the gas prices. You'll pay as much as that dictator of the well known insane tribe (that sits their arse on oil) wants you to pay since *it seems* there's no one to perform a "special operation" to show *them* their place. So your choices are pretty limited . On the other hand, you could join the Western Europe in their attempt to use electric cars , but I honestly don't beleive it's happening soon . The oil lobby is still too strong . On the other hand, there are some countries already , that have plenty of electric cars and charging stations, like Denmark and Holland. Kinda start to like the "special operation" crap term, lol. Very convenient not to use real terms ...

OK , then obey and do nothing .

Wait , what ? Are you now irritated because I edited out something that could irritate you in the first place ? lol Well, then please make a list of all things that could potentially irritate you, so I'd avoid them in the future.

It's always easier to tax your own peasants than to deal with the real source of evil. So why not ? Not seeing anyone protesting . Goes like this . Tighten the screws , wait for the new generation to adjust to the worsened conditions while polluting their brain with propaganda , tighten the screws again and so on ... and so on. It's also easier to import cheap labour from undeveloped countries who'd enjoy anything . Pretty sure 99% would agree to work for 100 Euro in contrast to a slow death in gulags. And we need to eat propaganda about "tolerance" and whatnot.

Very good for those who are tired to inhale gas fumes and/or have allergies. I hope it will be done soon , not like always they just promise and do nothing later. And good for the animals and plants.

I'm sure all of you are aware that Russia placed enormous amounts of war arsenal (and some say approx 125-150 thousands of cannon fodder too) extremely close to the European borders . Not to mention russian fleet in 240km of Ireland's shores , right above the data/internet cables for war "exercices". Why no one says anything about the catastrophic impact on the climate ? All of that efforts that @Mr.Scienceman2000and @Gansangriff were doing all these years (using old phones , saving the planet) are in vain. Anyone ? Silence ? And what about the poor animals killed ? Poor Irish fish ? No protests against near russian embassies ! Where is Greanpeace ?!?!? That's what I thought... Ever wondered why the "greens"(reds) only oppose UK/US and not Chino-Russia ? Well , one can't bark at the master . Here's a short but sweet explanation and a bit of history of this "movement". Esp. about the current German ones. Original : https://twitter.com/andersostlund/status/1485121247440773125 The same , conveneint to read (merged) https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1485121247440773125.html BTW , this is not over and looks like far from it , you can watch some pretty interesting footage here , many videos added daily. https://twitter.com/EndGameWW3 https://twitter.com/RALee85 Will continue to limit yourself ? lol

Hi , is it possible to remove the nulcear blast warning from it ? Otherwise , this tool is great ! Much better than the original one. (that didn;t work at all). I answered , "yes , I'm sure" . Yet it always asks me again.

Semi-random idea, but have you considered posting them as a collection on archive.org? jaclaz
