They have their own website, and it's currently supported, they even wrote "Included in Brave" - why? "Included in To!" - why?

Guys, thank you very much for letting us know about the malware, I'll avoid it in the future!

I usually suggest Universal Extractor. But in this case, to hell with it, don't risk extracting that "HTTPS Everywhere"! Who the hell knows what's inside!

In these two exact cases, with both of them, all domains/addresses are Chinese. The script sends data to China (not Holland or any other allied nation). I'm not sure I understand why we need to pretend they're not. Maybe folks need to report the second extension to Google? Do you have a Google account? Maybe try to warn them about the password? Give the link with that China domain. I never understood the purpose of "HTTPS Everywhere" (apart from leaking data to China). Any somewhat modern browser can upgrade http to https.

Wow! LOL> One super easy way to avoid being flagged/blocked as malware by Google.

We don't know what info is sent to China. It's more about being on the safe side, not outright visible and directly seen damage. I searched for "sinajs", and the results mention the over-popularized HTTPS Everywhere. Just one example. "HTTPS Everywhere currently rewrites requests to sinajs.cn (or its subdomains)." https://atlas.eff.org/domains/sinajs.cn.html Does Google also flag HTTPS Everywhere as Chinese malware?

Try Deluminate, it's even better, and Google doesn't flag it as Chinese malware. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/deluminate/iebboopaeangfpceklajfohhbpkkfiaa

yeah, also the web hosting service of that page seems very nice (with a good base idea) --> https://neocities.org/ I recently migrated my website stuff to that service because I was using GitHub, and well, Microsoft owns GitHub and that makes it boring. Also because I want to support it in some way (at least by using the service for now). Seeing the same kind of plastic web pages all the time and how easy is to break a website nowadays just makes it obvious that website development is just a Jenga tower that is mantained by some kind of temporal anti-gravity force. Originality and own effort is just thrown away for an ugly/soulless template and the people thinks that said template is the only way to build websites in the present.

Yeah, Deluminate is good. more options, most importantly works with old chrome.

Yeah, and their website is hosted on Fastly, Inc, one of the most notorious trackers. https://github.com/fastly/fastly-blocklist From what I remember, HTTPS Everywhere liked to call home on these. 151.101.0.201 151.101.64.201 151.101.128.201 151.101.192.201

Folks, be nice. The author clearly isn't a professional Web developer, and for that we should be grateful! A Web site can still be useful without all that "flash" and "sizzle" and the CPU/GPU-sucking CSS and JavaScript that goes along with it. (I agree with NHTPG about the ridiculous anti-Wikipedia rant, though.)

What are all these empty and meaningless words about HTTPS Everywhere? The extension is discontinued and no longer officially available on Chrome Web Store due to all browsers it supported redirecting to HTTPS on its own, its repo is archived on GitHub. Malware? What a load of bollocks... Nothing. Maybe use the right tool for the job? Or get the version from their GitHub page, no practical difference in content between them.

a fixed quikview.exe for working in newer version of windows: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/935423430642249768/1152845956124004412/quikview.7z even works on win10 x64. EDIT: with an updated exe parser (vsexe2.dll) as well, but it is better to replace all files. EDIT2: fixed PE32+ import listing. EDIT3: fixed 64bit display. EDIT4: fixed some import/export table parsing bugs. EDIT5: better mouse interactions(add mouse wheel support, show scrolled contents when dragging scrollbar box), add delay import listing. EDIT6: fix import listing from delphi executables. EDIT7: disable wow64 fs redirection, add version info section

Its .crx is password-protected. That alone should make you NOT TRUST IT in my view. But to me it's also not about Chinese malware. Malware is malware even if it originates in an "ally nation".

Many posts ago I suggested blocking certain animation effects: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/page/131/#comment-1250502 In particular: animation: none !important; breaks the kind of stuff you are talking about. Because of that I then changed my suggestion: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/page/131/#comment-1250506 Since then @roytam1 introduced the prefs: layout.css.animation.enabled layout.css.transition.enabled Which supersede my css tweaks. Is it possible that you have an animation: none in force? Ben.

The tides are turning. Due to recent influx of game related posts, here's another: https://support.activision.com/articles/windows-7-support-in-call-of-duty 'Cause otherwise, hackers can spawn-kill you then teabag you in real life if you don't upgrade to the latest security greatness that is Windows 10. No, wait, that's yesterday's news, better switch to Windows 11 as 10 doesn't have enough claymores planted at strategic locations and they're breaching your perimeter right now!

Probably not very useful, but better than a 404: St 55 goes to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/4757633/webdeveloper/ which is still active. I'm sure St 52 could be changed to point there - or to get the URL from a pref and default the pref to the above URL.

Excuse me, it seemed to me you weren't happy about the restored default settings, but debloating is the only way, that is proven to work. So either you live with the default OS, or de-bloat the hell out if it. Simply no choice. A good example is remote desktop, which is reverted back with almost every update, even in Vista, and I'm sure I don't have to explain to you what it is. Have you ever used it yourself, apart from trying to hack someone else's PC with it?

What makes you think so? It's September - golden season! People are on vacation, nothing unusual. How did it run 360Explorer? I guess it was a nightmare?

Because Opera is Chinese (for about a decade now), and as far as I see it, they aren't concerned about any older OS in particular, it's rather because the Chinese are just slow at advancing it. But in this case it works in your favour.

Because they don't have categorized add-ons page for Basilisk, there's only https://addons.basilisk-browser.org/extensions/.

Agreed. The Wikipedia boycott rant, be it true or false, would get an F at my old high school

Yes, of course! A good one! Bookmarked.

I'm sure it's a good decision, we'll see how far it will help. I remember it all went downhill very quickly after 110 (which can be ported to windows 7 and Vista). I think things will get real ugly after or even in 120. I don't want this to be a prediction, there are people who are obviously not that happy when my predictions become true. By that time, I hope you will make a new topic about the "Future of Chrome on Windows 10".

Yes they did, I predicted about Win 7 (which is the topic here!) and 8, 8.1 (which is the topic's subject in the thread I made my predictions).

Thanks for the information, will attach the Internet Archive link shared by @mina7601 --- BTW, Hello to everybody! I hope everyone is doing great and the browser still is usuable for some >:] PD: A link I just found recently about browsers --> https://retrobrowsers.neocities.org/

jaclaz, I'm afraid I have to disagree about the term "generic", some time ago I was asked a specific question, I clearly predicted it about the memory function. Not just , "hey, guys, I know Chrome will soon not work". I think you're confusing me with someone else. Regards, Dixel.

Good to know! But for how long? From what I observe, the development (of adding bloat) is at the speed of light lately. Opera added AI since 101, and so on.

Spoken for me only (but I think many others may agree) I couldn't care less. I am not really interested in any skins or icon design inside a browser. The browser and its capabilities are what really interest me. And one thing is clear, the choice under Windows XP is limited due to well-known reasons.

You avoid a browser due to an icon with a nice raccoon? Seriously? 🦝

Has anyone here also noticed a sudden freeze of the New Moon 28 browser from time to time? It happens rarely and started with one of the latter releases. I can't say exactly with which one, nor under which conditions this problem occurs. I am interested first of all in whether it is only me who is affected or others as well.

That is what I like and agree, I prefer when I'm not overcrowded, and always choose my partners in everything, be it one-night-stands or friendship. Unfortunately, it was not always the case in my military days, until I got an officer rank, at least. So I kinda learned how to find something in common to talk about, until the mission is over, maybe try it? The most important part, don't waste your energy on them.

Well, I got more than six air conditioners (8), in each and every room and even in my kitchen! Does that count? As for the vehicles, now I got only one (barely use it), two if you count my ancient German BMW motorcycle, that I'm in the process of purchasing back from the dude I sold it to by mistake.

Your observation skills are simply remarkable! I got the same crap when I reply to someone else's status (but not posts). Upgrade the browser, and the issue (at least with postings) will be gone. In my case, the minimum chrome without this issue is chrome 108.

Thanks, but I'll say again, what we're looking for is a forum where people can refer to a thread which discusses MSFN's current status if it goes offline, for whatever reason. We're not talking about a substitute for MSFN as a whole, which I'm sure we all hope will never become necessary! On RyanVM here (archived) we just had a social thread where we re-grouped when MSFN was down. I may be wrong, but I think it was instigated by dencorso. As that forum no longer exists, we'd just like to find a suitable replacement.

You're absolutely right, and I already wrote before your reply, as our temporary refuge. I have a feeling - most of the members won't agree on anything, and I suggest, all of you, who would want to get in touch, just exchange the emails. That having been said, a bad idea would be to give your important email to someone in doubt,
