Wow - I'm famous! It is admittedly odd that to date, no one has encountered this issue at another site. Self-referential Javascript objects can't be that rare; otherwise Andri Möll wouldn't have felt the need to create the code necessary for the fix in the first place. Since their merger with JP Morgan, Chase has been one of the biggest banks in the US, so I'd be surprised if no one with the necessary expertise has an account there. (Internationally, I understand, is a rather different issue.) Perhaps the polyfill I cobbled together from Möll's and @UCyborg's code, or at least the ideas behind it, could be rewritten in C++ for a native structuredClone implementation, and then tested by other Chase account holders who frequent the official PM forums.

The padlock on your browser is not green, so it's not secure for you, too.

It's a VM, Vista's defender is obsolete for 20 years, I don't even remember how good (or bad?) it was at detecting Trojans when it was young, build 6002 is the thing that no one cares about anymore, but thanks for the screengrab. It's almost the same as if you installed bare bones XP SP3.

I get the same with ungoogled 110.

One Core Api 3.0.2 + Supermium 118 = Working!

Define "code" . What software did you use to "see the code" ?

So I did notice that when restarting explorer some of the apps in the systray overflow menu have blank icons until the app itself is restarted. I see this with ESET NOD32 and Cryptomator.

Tihiy привет. Установлена винда 25977. SAB 3.6.13.4760 отлично работает. Кроме одного (для меня))). Zentimo xStorage Manager не показывает количество usb подключенных устройств . Если есть возможность, исправь)

StartAllBack 3.6.14

I wouldn't have thought that disabling integrity or security check warnings was a good idea on principle, unless it was absolutely necessary to make the software usable. From what I've read here, the warning would only impact people if they messed around with the files! I certainly wouldn't ever expect to see it.

Supermium runs on Win7 without it, for Vista you need the extended kernel.

It's not normal, esp. for ungoogled, I read this odd delay maybe tied to the video driver, esp. outdated. For XP the golden drivers are the ones that made by iCafe. 347.26, 361.77.

Maybe need to add to the topic's description, I feel people will still ask the same question over and over again, @Cocodile explained this has nothing to do with this browser.

Correct. A "green padlock" is NOT possible in XP. NEVER WILL BE for several new security certificate types. This has been discussed "ad nauseam". XP users are aware of this.

Thanks, interesting! And what about your famous cold boot 29 seconds slowness? Is it the same with this version on all of your computers?

I turned off the warning, it still shown as insecure.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

I don't remember when I said I don't use 360Chrome, you got me confused with someone else, nothing is hijacked since the Trojan message comes from the browser itself. Though, it's a bit different on XP and Vista. Did you have the chance to compare 1030 with 2044 with enough real life usage? Is it faster? Maybe not worth it? Or maybe worth to search for the cause?

Welp - Chase finally lowered the boom this week, and it appears there are no XP-compatible browsers left that still work with Chase.com! 360EE (Chromium 86-based) doesn't work; nor does Kafan MiniBrowser (Chromium 87-based), nor do @roytam1's browsers. (I'll post more on those at his thread.) As mentioned above, your UA must claim at least Chromium 109 on Windows or Chase will flat-out reject your browser. (I found that Chrome 106 on Android does still work, so apparently 106 is "good enough" in terms of capability, and Chase accepts a "Chrome 106 on Android" UA even though they reject a "Chrome 106 on Windows" UA. An Android UA produces an unwanted pop-up suggesting their app, though; so I'd stick with 109 on Windows if it worked.) BTW, Chase.com also rejects Edge 109! I had to use a Chromium 109 UA to get in. Ridiculous. Anyway, with a UA that Chase will accept, you can sign in - but (except Edge 109) the next screen only has the header with no account details, so it's pretty useless. Edit: I experimented a bit with portable versions of UnGoogled Chromium. It appears the minimum version that works is Chromium 98, unless you use polyfills. StructuredClone at a minimum is required, but the polyfill contributed by @UCyborg doesn't work for Chase. Edit 2: Using some code I found on the Web, I was able to create a structuredClone polyfill that works for Chase on Chromium 97. I'll test it later and see if it works on 86/87 too. Edit 3: It does! Here's the link:

Site permissions are stored inside the permissions.sqlite file, inside St52's profile directory; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1091830 If you're asking how to modify the "location sharing permission" on a given website, then the article above also covers that scenario: (View) Page Info is also available via the browser's Context Menu ...

Same way every antivirus reports users data to their home. Please stop with the politics.

Although that was a question of a more general nature (at least that was how I perceived it), read below: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/64-bit-apps#running-32-bit-vs-64-bit-applications-on-windows If the question was specific to .NFW4, then yes, you do need both architectures of it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/64-bit-apps#compiler-support-for-creating-64-bit-applications https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/64-bit-apps#determining-the-status-of-an-exe-file-or-dll-file Adding to what others have said, it really depends on the actual .NET framework version+architecture a said application was built against (OT: On Win Vista SP2+, 4.x versions are mutually exclusive and backwards compatible - upgrading, e.g., 4.5 to 4.6 will overwrite the 4.5 previous installation)...

I take back the good words I said about AVG Antivirus on page 47 and have uninstalled it completely. This may be an XP 64-bit problem that AVG could never fix. On the first install, it displayed this and I could not find a fix for the "You are not protected. Computer protection is turned off" error. After many uninstalls and reinstalls and workarounds, nothing worked. I researched this problem for days and had 15 tabs open mainly from the AVG Support Forum. Many users had the same problem and were asking for a fix. Repeatedly, what they were told was to uninstall, used the AVG Clean Tool and reinstall. None of this seemed to fix the problem for users. Also, I would say most were using 32-bit OS and not necessarily XP 64-bit On the AVG Support page, one of their reps said to also use the AVG Remover Tool. Warning! never use this tool if you need to get rid of AVG. The files is AVG_Remover.exe. Using this caused a BSOD on my machine and on the next boot the Welcome screen just hung. Fate and luck were on my side and I managed to get it back up and running. Do not use the above tool. I recommend first to uninstall AVG in Add or Remove Programs, and then use the AVG Clear Tool avgclear.exe. This worked fine got ride of the lot.

@Cocodile I am communicating with you as a fellow forum member, and I am in no way flaming you[1] or attacking your views/opinions or whatever. I was only trying to make you aware of the possible differences between a mountain and a molehill. @AstroSkipper As said it is a subtle difference, the explanation is given AFTER the statement. jaclaz [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_(Internet)

Poor Cocodile, it must be tough to be prevented from flying ... these bad administrators or moderators clipping your wings... I don't recall any particular EU Law or regulation limiting moderation actions on a (private) technical internet forum, when/if you find the relevant one, please post a reference to it. The dedicated organizations? The free EU press? I expect that both will be very interested to the injustice you are suffering. On the other side, maybe Rule #8 needs to be integrated by a "No whining." after the "MSFN reserves the right to edit, delete or move posts made on this site." jaclaz

The word for today is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm When it comes to commercial products, I doubt that Forbes (or any other publication) is or can be actually reliable, and "voting" on antivirus programs is always somehow skewed/biased, even the actual tests (that surely Forbes Authors do not perform themselves) are tricky when it comes to this kind of programs. The PCMag in its list of best antivirus programs at least explains why Kaspersky has been excluded (political reasons[1]): https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-antivirus-protection jaclaz [1] which not necessarily means they are not valid only because they are political.

But running the most recent version of Serpent 55 (2023-07-14) from today, basilisk.exe is crashing in the module mozjs.dll at startup such as @DanR20 already reported. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

This oddity I had already observed in old Firefox versions. Sometimes, extensions, which had been placed in the browser's folder in browser\extensions subfolder, weren't recognized when starting the browser. Maybe, this issue hasn't been really fixed and is thus still present in all forks. Just an assumption! In my case, I therefore don't place extensions there anymore.

Of course! That's why I wrote: "New Moon 28 doesn't seem to be vulnerable to Spectre". A residual risk always remains.

Additionally, I found an Online Test to check whether browsers are vulnerable to Spectre or not. Here is the link: https://xlab.tencent.com/special/spectre/spectre_check.html I performed this test in New Moon 28 (2023-05-25). Here is the result: So, New Moon 28 doesn't seem to be vulnerable to Spectre. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I agree with you, what he writes is quite confusing, and it's rather disappointng to see someone from Canada (!!?!!) with that level of English. In any case, I also agree with you - it's better to buy a new one instead of inhaling someone else's dirt/dust from an old PC. If he's on a tight budget, just skip a dedicated card completely and buy a good NEW PC without it, Later add something like RTX3070.

As an example, I couldn't upgrade an eleven years HP tower to a new GTX780, until I ordered a Dell branded OEM version of GTX780, weird, right ? Dell worked in HP ! Could be they have some sort of a colab, I dunno. EDIT: Dell still could be a good option, if the price is right, esp. with discounts,

Maybe, but Dell tends to lock the hell out of their BIOS, so his upgrade path (a new GPU, for example) could be blocked forever. Also, Dell tends to use cheap (low power) PSUs - so again, future upgrades are in question. The same could be said about HP. locked BIOS, small PSU, etc.

You look in the WRONG section! Of course I know that ClientHints can be switched off, but the injected browser string still works and shown ! And yeah, Opera is also Chinese (so no surprise), not sure who is the owner of the second one now. Just scroll a bit lower or use Ctrl F and go to window.navigator EDIT : I usually run with ClientHints OFF, so I didn't even see it has yet another unique fingerprint !!! Try to disable this :

BEWARE of that dodgy browser ! Using it will make you 100% unique ! Why ? The sneaky china fella injected a unique identifier right into the browser code ! Go here and you will see : https://browserleaks.com/javascript catsxp [object Catsxp] Everyone will know you're using his browser ! This won't happen with a normal chrome, be it googled or ungoogled. Will you find what he did and where it's located ???? Guessing no likes for me for uncovering the plot of a "good" china fella, your "saviour" of Win7 userbase. D.Draker is all that "bad" , saying "nasty" things (the truth, actually) about "poor" and "honest" developers from Asia.

Thanks for the good news, yes, they had the crashes fixed, finally ! Cookies are still not deleted. The browser has persistent (undeletable) cookies from taobao , qq , etc. I'm worried about its chinese telemetry.... so not sure if it's an alternative for the future !

I Don't Care About Cookies that's what I used regarding this subject, I don't know if you also have it. It doesn't delete them on exit, but blocks the google one, for example.

Sorry, never tried them before...

Thank you ! Do you know a solid, trusted extension that has an auto setting to delete cookies upon each exit ?

Your post was pretty confusing to begin with, one could easily read it as if you updated from 96 to 95, like another user wrote. "Opera browser stable version 96.0.4693.80 was released on 16/03/2023. Said browser was also updated ( W7 + W8 ) to version 95.0.4635.80. I received this update today."

Thank you for the explanations, I think I'll pass this one then. I came here from searches that showed I can download fully , truly ungoogled version on this website.

Thank you very much for the swift response ! Why is labelled as ungoogled then ?

Hi fellas, which engine is this browser is based upon ? Doesn't say on the page. tnx Will it work with Vista ?

Update notification! The article "Mypal 68 on low performance systems with an amount less than 2 GB of RAM" has been updated with regard to uBlock Origin as the new, recommended ad blocker extension. The RAM consumption is much less than in the case of the extension AdBlocker Ultimate. Mypal 68 behaves much smoother and less sluggish on my old computer. Cheers, AstroSkipper

uBlock Origin uBlock Origin (uBO) is not an "ad blocker", it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Out of the box, uBO blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, etc. through the following lists of filters, enabled by default: EasyList (ads) EasyPrivacy (tracking) Peter Lowe’s Ad server list (ads and tracking) Online Malicious URL Blocklist uBO's own lists More lists are available for you to select if you wish: EasyList Cookie Fanboy Annoyances AdGuard Annoyances Dan Pollock’s hosts file And many others Additionally, you can point-and-click to block JavaScript locally or globally, create your own global or local rules to override entries from filter lists, and many more advanced features. uBlock Origin is and was my favourite content blocker. But, to get the more recent versions running in Mypal 68, you have to set the variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled to the default value of true. If not, it will break the gui of uBO. Tested version: 1.46 Here is uBO's wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki And the following link opens a short guide: https://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/ublock-origin-the-ultimate-review-and-guide/ Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

You're welcome!

I think I know the reason: the setting you shared (dom.moduleScripts.enabled false) breaks uBlock Origin. It also crashes the browser eventually (I think it's because of uBO as well). Without that setting set to false, I can use uBlock Origin without any problems (But the version is 1.42.4, while it's 1.44.4 in my main PC's browser Firefox 105). Addition: Oh wait, it's because Mypal doesn't support auto-updating of extensions and I installed it before the update. If I reinstall it, then it should work fine too. Unfortunately, you are on the wrong way. It's more hardware related. As I already said, I will post about these problems very soon. No, as far as I know, and I don't need that feature, either. But, as I posted above, ImTranslator is an interesting extension for translating and offers many features. Each to their own! I love the good and simple ones, and that means in my case Simple Translate.

You're welcome! OT: BTW, what about your offer weeks ago? uBlock Origin is my favourite ad blocker extension. Unfortunately, there is a real problem with its compatibility, Therefore, I can't use the more recent ones in Mypal 68 on my old system. I'll post about these problems very soon. The extension Simple Translate is easy to use and works perfectly. Of course, I know the extension ImTranslator as well. I use it in the New Moon 28. The quality of the translations is better in Simple Translate, though, and ImTranslator is much too bloated for my taste. Basically, ImTranslator is an interesting extension for translating and offers many features. Anyway, to each their own! I recommend Simple Translate: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/?do=findComment&comment=1225646 The advantage of Adblocker Ultimate is that it works like a charme in Mypal 68 from the very first, and its most recent version is compatible with my system. BTW, most of the ad blocker use the same filters like Adguard's lists, Easylist, Fanboy's lists, and so on. uBlock Origin does it, too. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

You can adjust that by editing the CSS code. Have a look into the CSS reference! At the moment, there is no other way. No extension like Classic Theme Restorer for the legacy browsers Serpent 52 or Firefox 52! Frankly, I do not need that. My tab bar will stay above the address bar. Cheers, AstroSkipper
