Managing search engines in Mypal 68 Mypal 68 comes with a few search engines pre-installed by @feodor2. In his latest release 68.13.4b, the search engine Qwant is set as default. Other available search engines are Brave, Mojeek and Startpage. Many, however, will not like this. I personally don't like Qwant and miss my favourite search engines. There is now an extra thread in Mypal 68's issues in which the current situation of the provided search engines is controversially discussed. Have a look here: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/295 To be honest, I think such a discussion is completely superfluous and does not lead anywhere. Why? It is quite simple. Everyone has their own preferences or needs and can easily determine for themselves which search engines should or should not be available. The first measure is to remove all those that are not desired. Next, one can embed new search engines in Mypal 68 in different ways. This can be done, for example, by visiting providers who make a search engine available via OpenSearch on their website which can be installed by the user with a simple click in the search bar. Or, one visits the website Mycroft Project which is a collection of over 27 thousand OpenSearch & Sherlock Search Engine Plugins, especially for Firefox-based browsers. It is a perfect service to add search engines to supported browsers in a very simple way. The Mycroft Project provides many search engine plugins created by Mycroft itself and additionally such plugins which were contributed and provided there by users. I did the same and created my own, custom search engine plugins for MSFN long time ago which I have recently corrected due to problems in converting spaces in the search string and therefore updated. More about that, you will find here: These search engine plugins work without any problems in Mypal 68. Furthermore, custom search engines can be modified or created and added by extensions which I will present in my next posts. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@VistaLover I have linked your post about Add to Search Bar https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1254575 to my second post Alphabetical list of all posted extensions. I think that such an extension should get its due attention and not be lost. Best regards, AstroSkipper

A smart decision, better be safe than sorry! Thanks for informing the community of MSFN!

Somehow I doubt it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for even giving me a small glimpse of hope for no longer posting in such a valuable thread. Are you serious? This is you who have and had been politically motivated poster at his best there and polluted the hell out of the thread with your pseudo (geo)political statements. Exactly like you're polluting an derailng this topic now! Everyone noticed - while you were absent for a month or so, it was peaceful and quiet at MSFN, then you got back and started to insult members and their valuable work immediately!

Yours doesn't look like Supermium, the UI is different, and the real Supermium says "Supermium", not "Chromium" or "Chrome".

The browser on this photo is NOT the one which is discussed here. Which browser is that? Standard Chrome?

You can find an offline html TOTP Token Generator here. Download the zip, extract and click on 'index.html' in the folder 'public'. Paste in your secret key obtained from GitHub and voila. 🙂

Exactly, how a country with their "government’s anti-American foreign policy agenda", which has zero American or British population, how that country can produce espionage-free software for the Western market? It's a rhetorical question. I don't know why you see me as your foe, why you never cease to insult me, you just agreed to the facts yourself. As for the second part - with your usual, rather ridiculous assumptions-accusations-insults, no I don't, but you have the right to report (if you didn't already), let them do the checks. In my country we've never ever heard of this dangerous Russian software "Kaspersky", I read about it only here, from you! What we think in Europe? Well, we don't have 1.6 million of Russians in my city, so we at least don't have to worry, when their populace reaches the X amount and they casually declare the city Russian, we'd be forced to use Kaspersky.

I didn't feel a "compulsion", I spent several seconds. Apparently, it's more than enough since you have nothing to contradict to the stated facts.

I still have an article where the investigators confirmed Kaspersky is in close relations with FSB, it needs translation, and I have to look for it, so might take some time. Thank you for a very funny joke !!!!!!

I see, thanks for the information. In my case, Serpent 52 didn't lock up after I logged in to Facebook. However, it did get slowed down (no wonder since Facebook is a very heavy platform as you said), but it never locked up, nor it closed itself. This website requires WebGL, and ever after enabling WebGL in Serpent 52, I still can't access the website.

Under browser\chrome\de\locale\browser\preferences\, for example, new entities were added to the file content.dtd starting from line 33 jsOptions.label, jsOptionsWasm.label, jsOptionsWasm.accesskey. The best is to compare this file with the original English one, and you will see all the entities to be added, removed or changed.

The issue was located under Preferences -> Content -> Colors. I found it by accident. Have a look here: Cheers, AstroSkipper

My German language pack for New Moon 28 - Fixed - Part 2 In the German language pack from the quoted post above, I found another issue under Einstellungen -> Inhalt -> Farben months ago. Here is a screenshot to demonstrate this issue: I had already fixed this problem at that time and the language pack got the version number 28.10.0rc3. This fixed version wasn't offered by me, though. Here is a screenshot of the fixed version: Yesterday, @roytam1 reported a new problem in the preference menu under Einstellungen -> Datenschutz due to changes of some entities. Here is a screenshot of this new issue: Today, I have fixed this issue in version 28.10.0rc3 and have assigned the number 28.10.0rc4 to the new, corrected version. Here is a screenshot of the fixed version: And here is the download link of the updated, German language package in version 28.10.0rc4 for New Moon 28 from 2023-10-19 and up: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6f7jyk6fldmzihh/de-28.10.0_RC4.xpi/file Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Hi @George King, I have lost complete the overlook over all the versions of those files. I make them also for win2000, win7, win8, win8.1. I know, that I always send the most most new to Ramsey for XP SP3, so there they are for sure the latest ones. For XP bit64 SP2 I have only the modd here in the forum from January 2023 for hal.dll and intelppm.sys. They cant be done better. Here are my last acpi.sys for XP SP3, win2003 bit 32 and XP bit64 SP2 with most needed hacks https://ufile.io/1bu70rru Dietmar

Of course! Why would I give a theme with China connections!? What do you mean by "bloated"? There's nothing there that connects to China.

Thanks! Here is the updated Dutch one. (ping @gerwin)

No, on the contrary, the US government’s agenda looks very much pro-Russian, otherwise it wouldn't be 1.6 million Russians in New York alone. I'm scared to even imagine their amount in other US places, like Florida. I wonder how many of them use Kaspersky? Now tell me, how many Americans live in Moscow or Russia? Let me help you - none, Zero, zip, ziltch, nada! That's really anti-American.

Not true, no additional items. The GUI is clean. Screenshot below.

Well, I stand corrected. Chase is fine with SMS (or even a browser cookie, which isn't actually all that secure, since it can be moved from one machine to another relatively easily, at least on Firefox-based browsers) being the second "factor," and I think most US banks are similar. They want security, but not at the expense of convenience for their customers, and this is the compromise they arrived at. But it probably varies from country to country since banking regulations would also vary. Chase is also not very consistent. I have an old Android 6 phone. Chase long ago blacklisted their Android 6 app (presumably because Android 6 was deemed "not secure enough") but they're perfectly fine with Chrome 106 on that same phone. All that said, I still believe that making it a hassle to sign out and back in was a motivating factor behind Github's decision to require what I call "burdensome" 2FA. Yes, I get that message too, plus "caches is not defined." (At least it's not "define is not defined" as I was getting for a time at Chase!) But isn't that the M$ app store? Yeah, it'd be nice if it worked, but not much use for it on XP or Vista (or even Win 7, for that matter). OT: M$ "apps" are yet another step in the "Androidification" of Windows. So much of Windows 11 was redone to resemble Android (e.g., the new "Open With" dialog), I'm just wondering when Google and Micro$oft will officially announce the merger. Since I'm the one who raised the issue, I'll perform the test, although it appears @tvholic already tried without success. But maybe I can shed more light on the issue. Edit: Looks like the same message as before: Those fixes didn't seem to cause any harm, although they didn't fix the Chase issue. So they still may be worth including in the next release. OTOH, they may complicate things if upstream actually does fix the Chase issue at some point.

libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll have a serious security flaw. An attacker can load these libraries using WebGL and thus get around DEP. Explained here - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641630

It would be a problem in the near future, Chrome 110 engine is the bare minimum for modern web, anyways Firefoxx is off-topic.

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

It's only "security patches", not the actual engine update.

FYI, I opened a new issue on Mypal 68's GitHub page. It is the issue #296 with the title Errors and problems when installing and updating extensions in Mypal 68. As the title already says, I will post there all errors and problems that come to my attention when installing and updating extensions in Mypal 68. By doing so, I hope that @feodor2 will be able to fix the currently existing errors and bugs related to extensions more easily and in a more targeted way. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Judging by the name it could a part of its adblock.

Mount the VHD and than create backups like you do on every other normal disk system. Either a disk imaging software like Acronis TI, Macrium Reflect or a file backing image like a WIM backup.

Update notification! GetEmAll! has been updated and is now in the version 1.2.4 available. I mention it because the automatic update function in New Moon 28 won't offer it. For this browser, the extension has to be downloaded manually, and its compatibility has to be adjusted in the file install.rdf manually, too, such as shown here: Original: </Description> </em:localized> <em:targetApplication name="Pale Moon"> <Description em:id="{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}" em:minVersion="29.0" em:maxVersion="32.*"/> </em:targetApplication> Modified: </Description> </em:localized> <em:targetApplication name="Pale Moon"> <Description em:id="{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}" em:minVersion="28.0" em:maxVersion="32.*"/> </em:targetApplication> Here is the link: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/getemall/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

You're welcome! I thought you perhaps wanted to see a correctly sized "Hellenic" flag. You see, I can always learn something new. This thread here is the absolutely correct place for such discussions. That was actually the reason I created this thread. And I think you already know this, I love extensions.

The reason I wrote this post is very simple. Cloning or imaging a hard disk which has errors will usually fail due to read errors. Good copy programmes report these unreadable or unsuccessfully copied files and skip them. In such a case, much better. Generally, I use special backup programmes to make complete images of only working, error-free system partitions. I never clone a drive completely. Other files outside of my system partitions will be backuped or synchronized by different tools depending on how I want to handle them.

@Monroe! Cloning or imaging a hard disk is the best method to get a backup including the file system structure if the drive is error-free. But if your hard disk has already errors, it will be better to copy all files using a copy programme such as TeraCopy (or similars) which reports all unsuccessfully copied files and skips them. You can set TeraCopy to check the hash of each copied file. It will backup all files that are readable, and you'll definitely know which files are problematic and to be restored.

What I always do is to monitor the S.M.A.R.T. values. You can do that with tools like Hard Disk Sentinel or CrystalDiskInfo. I have a license for Hard Disk Sentinel. Therefore, it is always running in the background to notify me if the S.M.A.R.T. values have changed.

Getting some more time to take a breathe is always a good thing. TBH, I have actually always thought that there is no digital barrier in terms of computers and internet that cannot be overcome, by whatever means. As a European and German, I naturally have no idea what such a barrier really looks like, how it is technically realised and what the consequences of discovering a circumvention might be at your location. Your life and well-being come first in any case, of course. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper PS: You are undoubtedly the one who made it possible for me to extend the life of my Windows XP computer by years. I will always be grateful to you for that. And I hope it will never end! I am definitely a Windows XP die-hard fan as you surely know.

I know Comodo Firewall quite well as I used it in the past. A lot of information about Comodo was already collected by me including links and versions. A good source is among others the Comodo Forum.

Finally, the right usage for quotes, keep learning, you're on the right path. Were you able to make a custom media for the system ? Mine has a function to create a custom bootable DVD with the OEM system that was preinstalled.

Nah, it's just improper usage. Also, we don't speak "mid-Western" English. And you yourself always love to point out to the subject of MSFN being an international forum. No one's arguing, but some may definitely need a translator from your (without quotes) English.

I agree with you, I'm not a fan either ! I have a DVD (read above). But ! By placing the quotes, you (intentionally or not) distorted the meaning , the technical aspect. Once again, it's a real partition ! I have it too on my Siemens PC.

Weird... I know it may have changed now, but with Vista, I don't enter any serials at all. I have a DVD that came with my Siemens PC (it has a sticker on it). So when I need to install a fresh system, I just remove all partitions, including the restore partition, reformat the HDD and install from the DVD, it doesn't ask me to enter anything ...

Why does it have quotes, it's a real HDD partition .
