GPU-Z @grey_rat Perhaps it is safe to assume UXP is still doing it pre-Firefox 58 way.

Sure, but those businesses should (in theory) have experts capable of mitigating them, no need to (further) scare to death common users about vulnerabiliities they won't ever experience (simply because they don't use the affected services/programs). If we want to scare them, as general advice, we have the (evergreen) opinion by Armand Gracious : https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/experts.html jaclaz

Hi ; most sadly, since some years ago, the web isn't designed for "faint-at-heart" (i.e. "legacy"/under-resourced) H/W, and the social media sites (like the ones you referenced) are spearheading this "trend" ; it isn't only CSS-related issues (like the one discussed recently here) that heavily tax old H/W, it's the rampant use of heavy scripting, often times unnecessarily , use of blobs of JS many MiBs in size just to render a table of text, use of WASM, the notion of "treating" a browser like an all-purpose media player (lots of embedded HD still and moving pictures, full HD video) and the quick adoption of features compatible only with the recent versions of Chrome(+Edge+Safari)/Firefox ... The UXP-based browsers (one of which is NM28) can't fully cope with "that" web, especially on "era-incorrect" H/W ; use of, first of all, a competent adblocker (or even script blocker) will block several of the scripting (tracking/mining/statistics/advertising) not really required for correct page rendering; if you want to mess with CSS, you need a Style Manager (like Stylem that NHTPG recommended), into which you have to "install" userstyles savvy members of the community/coders author to tackle several issues in sites; if you want to mess with JS, then you need a Userscript Manager (like the one your compatriot, nicolaasjan , recommended) and, again, "install" userscripts (custom JS and/or CSS code that aims to modify the default code pages serve) found on-line (e.g. on Greasy Fork); unless you want to learn to author Userstyles/Userscripts yourself, there's only a very small learning curve associated with the use of those extensions (Stylem, GMFPM, etc.) ... Not 100% sure if that's what you meant , but indeed UXP-based browsers have a setting to turn OFF/ON all page styling : Kind regards.

Hello everyone, there is an extended kernel for most of the unsupported windows systems, the famous KernelEX for 98, the Extended Kernel for Windows 2000 by Blackwingcat, the one for Vista by win32, among many others. But Windows 95 doesn't have one. I would like to create an extended kernel for Windows 95C (OSR 2.5), since this would be like the most recent service pack of Windows 95. With the extended kernel I would like to make programs/components that work on NT 4.0 SP6a and 98 compatible but 95 no, like the following: - Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 -Windows Media Player 9.0 - Net Framework 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 RTM. - DirectX 8.1 and 9.0c -Office XP - DLL redirection I barely have knowledge of assembly language, I barely have a little experience with Windows NT 5.x (2000 and XP), but I don't know how to add a dependency/ordinal to a Windows 9x kernel, since when I expand the table I get a BSOD. Unlike KernelEX for 98 and ME, I want to replace the system files directly to run software that is compatible with the latest 9x.

Yes, the "new" owners of the Stylish site are keen to promote their own Chrome (spyware?) extension, and that used to be the case before, too; Stylem hasn't been developed for more than a year: https://github.com/Lootyhoof/stylem/commits/master but it did work with previous incarnations of "userstyles.org": Fix installing from userstyles.org It would appear the new site "overhaul" (read: downgrade ) broke that Stylem functionality ... Users of official Pale Moon may want to report this recent breakage on Stylem's issue tracker, https://github.com/Lootyhoof/stylem/issues or its PM Forum support thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=19443 Hopefully then, its author might come up with a fix (if you do file a report, you'd also have to mention the SSUAO for google that makes loading of "userstyles.org" possible under PM ) ...

Userstyles.org now works in NM 28 and loads the site with a specific style. There is a button Install but clicking onto it doesn't install anything and shows a message I have to install the Chrome extension. However, I use the extension Stylem and thought it works for that site. I can only copy the provided CSS code and create an own file. Or do I something wrong?

Precisely! You're welcome ; hopefully, you're not part of the "crowd" here that have publicly stated "I don't bring anything new/useful" to other MSFN members; in any case, I still haven't solved the Serpent 52 "case" you reported and I confirmed ...

That site loads OK here (latest NM28, otherwise fresh profile), with ONLY uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2 installed (its default filters, only ) : Perhaps you're blocking too much Google-stuff, and their "app" doesn't like that ... In New Moon 28, I tested it with my main profile and with a fresh one. No chance, and there is no Google-stuff blocked by me. I can see the main page only one or two seconds, and then the error appears. Did you also use the latest release of NM 28 for testing?

In Serpent 52 (32-bit) (2023-08-10), the main site of userstyles.org can be loaded, but clicking onto any theme or style leads to an empty window.

BINGO! Norton "harms" your computer! McAfee "harms" your computer! They ALL have "CVE vulnerability" reports!

I made a mistake during the translation of my post, sorry

WebRender, though, is highly unlikely to make it in official UXP, because it's written in Rust ; even if it, somehow, gets ported to UXP, porting such (Rust) code to be compatible with NT<6.1 (for consumption by members here ) would be even more difficult (not impossible, as MyPal68 has proved, but difficult ) ...

The annoying part of Malwarebytes is the first month after install where it bugs you constantly about sending them money. I don't like active solutions because of the overhead, the fact that it tries to be active by default is annoying also.

Right, regarding GPU usage/load %, it's important to note that percentage "cover" the current clock speed, so in my case that 33% actually covered 135 MHz. 33% of 1033 MHz would be more bizarre.

Firefox 52, Serpent and PaleMoon without OMTP Switch to false or true layers.omtp.enabled in MyPal 68, restart the browser, open https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/animation it will be seen by CPU usage

Okay, I'll cave and enlighten you. But never say I never helped you out! https://msfn.org/board/topic/184684-blockbuster-video-about-to-make-a-comeback/?do=findComment&comment=1244102

I expect Vista to be the worst performer in these cases: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct2d/comparing-direct2d-and-gdi

I don't understand what it has to do with the subject, please explain.

Please don't start, everyone understands it was a T9 typo, because I wrote by and buy one after another with the same meaning, in the same sentence. I'll not point my fingers at those who don't know the difference between steel and steal, who and whom and so on. As for your original question, it makes zero sense to use "thorium", you can still use the original Ungoogled for win7, since they are of the same old 109 version. With some hacks Ungoogled 110 or even 111 can be backported.

I never used, never heard of them before, what am I "guilty" of? Let him do his own research. Thank you for the information! Though, it's not my favourite, I already wrote many warnings, because it's well known that Opera collects enormous amounts of data and belongs to China. It was just easier to backport it to Vista, in contrast to the usual ungoogled chrome. But Opera is also not relevant here.

Here is a quotation from 0patch support page: Cheers, AstroSkipper

@roytam1 @feodor2 And regarding these well-known coders and creators I do not really have to mention where they are located.

Maybe we should have a COO (Certificate of Origin) besides the COA (Certificate of Authenticity) mandated by Law. The (nonsensical) issue would remain about the political orientation of the Author (and of all the contributors) of softwares, only as an example I suspect that there are many Russians among the contributors of Linux, and also a large number of Communists, regardless of their nationality. jaclaz

13.5 is from China, but not relevant, since the original topic is about the ungoogled version. The other three, by whom they were made, I don't know, never heard of them before. Which chrome version they are based on? Are they ungoogled?

I want to repeat again, go and look at the "thorium" version, it's still at 109, no it's not a typo. If you want 114, the oldest Supermium is 115, perhaps try it?

While a month old Supermium is already at version 117! Which is current, and works even on Vista!

I'm sorry, the information given is very confusing. I don't care how many downvotes I'll get by saying - this browser is made by a Russian, But it's my right, as a customer, to know where a product is being manufactured. It's also demanded by the law in my country, all goods must be labelled. All attempts to make a political show out of it will be promptly reported, and I'll not engage is such conversations.

SO IS NORTON, SO IS McAFEE, SO IS COMODO, SO IS AVIRA, SO IS AVAST, SO IS MALWAREBYTES, SO IS AVG...

Be careful.. We're not supposed to mention that tool. But it's good to know it's working. I'm a tad spoiled over at Windows 8 Land. Here I just download and install. I have apparently two more updates coming my way. I'm not sure if what is considered to be "unspoken" will work in my case beyond that, however, I was going to stop updating Windows after October's final patch. I'll just keep updating Firefox ESR 115, and manually updating Windows Defender as long as possible. After that, I'll retire Windows 8 at the close of 2024.

Well as of the RTM release, Vista really, REALLY was a s--t pile. It really was. Slow I/O, badly written display drivers, you name it .... However, SP1 and (especially) SP2 cleared away most of those warts, and by the end, I would agree it performed pretty much identically as well as Windows 7. What was never resolved was management and cleanup of the component store. It became huge. However that doesn't bug me any more. I'm perfectly OK now with an OS taking up 15 to 20 GB of disk space now, where I wasn't before. Why? Because I now understand what the component store does, and why it provides sound stability benefits to Windows. As for Windows 8, funnily enough, I can still update using Server 2012 updates without any "tricks". I was hoping the same for my Windows 8.1 brethren, but no such "exact" luck. But Windows 8 has been exceptionally stable, and a VERY GOOD performer.

Good enough?

Good question! Kaspersky has a free version, but I never used it and cannot tell a paid user how to downgrade to Kaspersky Free. Microsoft Security Essentials has long been a very popular free antivirus for Windows 7. However, Microsoft once said that definition updates would be provided “until 2023,” and there have been ominous reports from MSE users recently (such as this SevenForums thread). I cannot promise you that MSE will be useful for even a few more months. Avast/AVG also makes free versions that still support Windows 7, as does Panda. I wrote about antivirus products that have already ended or plan to end support for Windows 7 in a March 1 post.

You posted in English already on the forum, and you need to at least provide a translation. This is an English only forum as you can see in the rules.

DreamMail Pro - Update information! DreamMail Pro has been updated again and is now available in version 6.6.6.8. It is still XP-compatible, and the development is ongoing! I have not been able to find a version history on their homepage. Therefore, I generated an official version history and provide it here: And here is the download link of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.8: https://dl.cy-email.com/dm6/Download/dmpro_setup6.6.6.8.exe To force the updated installer of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.8 to use English instead of Chinese as the installer language, I updated again my small loader that does this when it calls up the setup program. It must be executed in the same directory in which the setup file is located with its original file name dmpro_setup6.6.6.8.exe. Here is the download link of my loader Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_6668.exe: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1bdbimf2eq6m21l/Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_6668.7z/file Although some virus scanners detect this file as malicious, it is just a false-positive as always. Use my loader to force an English install, only if you trust me, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper

@Mathwiz! Maybe, this is of interest to you: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @Mark-XP! Thanks for your nice words! Much appreciated! The solution you linked in your comment works without any modifications. Here is my detailed instruction to get the "Alternating row highlighting" working in MailNews right away: Create a folder called Chrome in your profile folder. Copy the file userChrome.css containing your linked CSS code into the created folder Chrome . Open about:config, create a new Boolean variable toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and set it to the value true. Restart MailNews. That is exactly what I did. And it worked right away. Please note that toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is a Boolean, and not a string variable! And the file userChrome.css must be copied into the Chrome subfolder of your profile folder. That's simply all. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I should very much like to see you as a moderator. EDIT: Actually partially on-topic.

Could you tell me why ? Because of that connection to Russia ?

What worries me, @AstroSkipper may not approve because it's free and maybe crap.

Of course better to ask questions to the author before you purchase , because like I wrote, I didn't try the latest, so something could be changed.

Of course, OpenVPN is opensource. But it's just a VPN client. You need configuration files *.ovpn which contain necessary data for connecting to a certain VPN server. Most commercial VPN provider offer configuration files to connect to their servers via OpenVPN protocol. And, a more recent, inofficial client compatible with Windows XP is available, too. The old ones don't work anymore in most cases.

You are right!

@D.Draker! Ok, I tried the search function of MSFN, too. Good news, no Russian influence and no operating errors! The search function of MSFN is not satisfying in many cases. I can't find a lot of things at all. Maybe, there is a content filter which does not allow to search for the string "VPN". Or it is too short. Anyway! Simply put, the search function is rather a malfunction in some cases!

Did I say German servers? No. I said European servers! I wrote many posts with complete information about all important facts in terms of VPN. For example here: Or here: And here: For more, use the forum search! And, I do not use German servers at all. I choose my European servers carefully. I have more than 20 years of experience and in-depth knowledge of VPN in Windows XP. But that's not what we were talking about in the recent posts.

FWIW I use HWiNFO. The latest version of that still works on Windows 98, believe it or not!

After switching the famous "superfetch" off it was fantastic , fast , but not as fast as on Siemens , I think because Siemens used more advanced German HDDs , I even think they still in production labeled Fujitsu, yes. I mean Fujitsu HDDs , not some other 3rd party brands . I also think you should add Sony , they were good and also used Fujitsu HDDs (at least some of them) , they were expensive , I agree .
