Done!

My first advice is to use other, more modern browsers. When I try to access such services, I always do it using my Android 9 tablet with most recent browsers such as Opera, Kiwi, Brave or Firefox. But just for you, I also tried to access this website with Mypal 68, and the verification says I am a human. That makes me feel better. I was already thinking I was a cat. At next, I tried New Moon 28. The verification took much longer than in Mypal 68. This is my result in NM 28: NM 28 seems to have passed successfully the verification. But I can't get any further. I don't have an account there and don't want one. Hope I could help you a bit. BTW, there are a few errors in the Web Console regarding this website. Cheers, AstroSkipper

People on github wrote: it's on the contrary. It now adds some file(file)s to the system32 folder. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/98

Even so, perhaps where he lives he can't do without VPN, so it's not an excuse for that bug.

I can confirm that. There is indeed a "null" problem with the script "Restored Pagination for Google" starting from page two when using the advanced search, even in Mypal 68. Thus, I use the script "Return Pagination to Google" instead.

... The short version of it is both ; long version below: Having originally been a Mozilla Firefox fan only, my first acquaintance to Userscript Managers was via the XUL/legacy version of Greasemonkey ; at some point in time, this was converted to the much restrictive WE format , to which I did never migrate... When I started using the UXP-based browsers, NM28 initially, I migrated to the UXP-fork Greasemonkey for Pale Moon (now an abandonware ), which was also kept when I decided to move over from NM28 to Serpent 52 (because the latter had kept support for WE - I needed to use Stylus there, because many of my preferred userstyles had migrated over to the "user.css" format, which Stylem doesn't support ) ... While in St52, I explored the availability of actively maintained WE userscript managers, the two more prominent choices were Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey; TBH, I was quite miffed that TM had already dropped support for Fx52-level platforms, with only a much older version being installable in St52 (I have v4.11.6120beta archived on disk) ; additionally, while TM was in the past open-source, it had already moved by then to closed-source development... OTOH, Violentmonkey was, and still is, open-source and actively supported Fx52/St52, so I chose to install VM in St52 and have kept it ever since ; when I started experimenting with the Chromium derivatives that support Vista SP2 32-bit, I installed VM there, too, because I had grown accustomed to it ... As far as script compatibility is concerned, it's true that most userscript authors first target TM, because it's more popular I guess; but VM should also do the job in the 99% of cases; incidentally, the "Restored Pagination for Google" userscript works better in VM than TM, it says so in its code: // @match only allows wildcards for the TLD in ViolentMonkey, not in TamperMonkey or other alternatives Ultimately, it's down to the English saying: "whatever tickles your fancy" and for me it's VM... Thank you for the detailed report! I disabled TM in Mypal 68 and installed VM. I'll test both, but of course not in combination. Here, we had only snow for two days. Things look a little different in the south of Germany. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

I know you are a fan of Violentmonkey. I use it in Serpent, too (thanks to your hint what needed to be fixed in version 2.14.0 ). But in Mypal 68, I use Tampermonkey. Do you see any advantages in using Violentmonkey instead of Tampermonkey? Maybe, in terms of script compatibility? Or is it just a personal preference in the end?

That makes sense, of course. I checked it by using a fresh profile in NM 28 where no changes have been done by me. Therefore, I used logically the standard UA.

"am I nuts, or do colours on GeForce are bit washed out" https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/2x03ky/am_i_nuts_or_do_colors_on_geforce_are_bit_washed/?rdt=58706

On your screenshot I see a VPN extension with a US IP, could it be the reason for ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, even with a clean profile?

I tested a second, legacy custom button in Mypal 68 I already posted for the UXP browsers. It's the custom button Toggle GIF Animation from here: Here is a further screenshot of my installations as proof: And, this one works perfectly in Mypal 68, too. It's unbelievable! I am very happy! Cheery greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

yes, the zipped distribution. I thought it was a portable version. thanks for clearing that up

Returning, hopefully, on topic , I tried your "problem" in a quasi-fresh profile in latest NM28 [28.10.7a1 (32-bit) (2023-11-30)]; only extension installed is uBO-legacy v1.16.4.31b2 ; I first disabled it fully and then acquired a German IP address via VPN; when I accessed https://www.huk24.de/zugang/registrierung/anmeldedaten an overlay appeared that asked me to consent to their cookie-setting in my browser (I didn't read it all, I just pressed the "Zustimmen" blue button), then the "Registrierung" page loaded; as soon as I accessed with my cursor the "E-Mail-Adresse" input field, the "Anti-Roboter-Verifizierung" process auto-kicked-in (alternatively, I guess, you can skip the two input fields and go straight to the "Hier klicken" button); in NM28 it took ca. 85s for the process to complete successfully and yield the "Ich bin ein Mensch" result... All I can tell you is that the process is CPU/RAM-intensive, for the duration the bar moves to the right (towards completion), my CPU was constantly at 100% (2009-era Intel Core2 Duo); I conducted several additional tests and by exiting all unneeded running applications and having only this one tab open in NM28, I achieved a completion time of just 39s ... What you need to concentrate on here is the fact the anti-robot-verification did complete successfully! How old exactly is your CPU? Does it support the SSE2 instruction set? How much RAM do you have available for the browser? If the process does require an SSE2 CPU, then you'd be out of luck if your CPU can't cope ... In your initial post you said i.e. you did not say "it started but takes an awful lot to finish" - as AstroSkipper wrote, even with a very old CPU, the process would ultimately finish (though I do agree 5-6min is way too much ) ; my advice to you is to try again with a fresh NM28 profile (I assume you have updated to the latest NM28 release ) - give it the 5min reported here and see how it goes... I, too, ended up on that "Registration is currently not possible" webpage during my testing; clearing browser cookies and trying anew several times did finally yield the proper "Registration" page (the one inside AstroSkipper's post) - however, for the sake of just this test, you can click on the "Zur Anmeldung" label and be served another page which also contains the ""Anti-Roboter-Verifizierung" test/button ...

Iirc on a Supermium issue report, he mentioned that the "Extended Kernel's scope has been greatly reduced", and next releases would more focused on Kernel functions to make drivers working rather than making programs running on it. That's also why Supermium exists : it's more easy to make a fork of that program that can run on the target OS rather than trying to backport syscalls that would require hundreds of work hours to achieve. In another issue report, he explained that making modern versions of Chrome working "natively" on Vista ExK would require to backport the shared memory API from Windows 10 1803/09 (if not making some weird things to replicate this behavior, with a significant risk of breaking everything during the process), which would imply a lot of work for not that much at the end. As soon he would have finished, Chrome probably received one or more updates and if we run out of "luck powder", it will need to backport even more syscalls. At this point, some would probably say "just run the other OS instead". A perpetual circle that would never ends. From my part, I consider this choice more appropriate, especially towards people that don't want to modify their system (from a side they have legitimate reasons to refuse to install untrusted system binaries) but still want to have some quite recent programs, especially for the browser. (it's more easy to make someone accept installing a standalone program specifically made to run on their OS rather than trying to convincing them to install a "Kind of Kernel Extender they don't understand anything about, with the risk of a problem that can happen during or after the installation and break their OS"). So to resume quickly, no, Vista Extended Kernel isn't dead, just the main scope of this project has changed to something more technical and kinda """advanced users friendly""". (This is probably badly explained but that's how I understand the current state of thing)

13.5.1030 Redux has a new menu when you click the avatar in the upper right - The "hamburger" menu is also new -

Right! Using browsers such as Mypal 68, New Moon or Serpent means the user is running old hardware with old operation systems. Such systems are slow and weak in general. On more recent hardware, I personally wouldn't think of using old OSes or legacy browsers. Thus, your comment is not very logical, rather absurd or provocative and certainly not helpful. And BTW, I drive a very old car and speed doesn't matter for me. One particularly positive aspect is that I produce very little electronic waste.

You set the uBlock rules to filter out files with the WebP extension, but they still go right through it because the fake extension is jpeg, but it's not jpeg, it's WebP, now you understand?

More detailed explanations: Basically, every website can fool that "fix" into the wrong thinking by simply changing the extension of WebP to jpeg or something else (mp4, for example). Besides, plenty of websites use extension-less WebP, when WebP is there, but without extension or with any other extension to mask the real evil, that's what @D.Draker tries to explain to you.

So, it's not a fix at all, I'd say it's even more dangerous than without it. (feeling of fake safety) If I considered that to be a fix. I'd placed it on the first page of this topic, right after I created it.

Supermium, right?

No, there was a fix suggested by @Jakob99 "Navigate it to C:\Windows\System32\drivers. Inside here, find a file named IntelPEP.sys and delete this." https://msfn.org/board/topic/184348-solved-windows-81-on-swift-3-kaby-lake-failed-and-blue-screen/?do=findComment&comment=1238073 Perhaps he was trying to achieve something from there, looks like we have to wait for the precise description.

I don't know what's all this talk about doctors, the fix doesn't prevent webp from getting into your system, at least for me. You may check it yourself. Go here, don't worry, it's a legit site. https://www.greenmatters.com/news/super-natural-disney-plus Then right click on the picture with ‘Super/Natural’ Animals (Exclusive). The name is super-natural-disney-plus-1663705823978.webp. It saves the pic in WEBP format. Still don't believe? Look at the screenshot below.

Hello @shelby! Here is a quotation from Avast: Source: https://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus#pc Cheers, AstroSkipper

StartPage happens to be my preferred and default search engine. One feature I like is that you can set the page size to 20 results vs. 10, so you can keep traditional pagination without having to hit "Next" quite so often. As a result I haven't used Google search directly in quite some time, and hence was unaware of the scrolling bug on Serpent 55.

Win9x VCACHE Protection Error Fix (.VXD version of CREGFIX.COM), primarily for Windows ME https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/cregfix.zip I tested it on Windows 98SE so IDK if it actually works on Windows ME.

The installer did not work for me (Win 7 x64). I had to extract it and open the mini_installer.exe manually. After that it installed fine. I haven‘t tried it out on vanills Vista x64. They just mentioned compatibility with it in release notes. By the way, they also changed the Supermium icon that I personally don‘t like (very old classic Chromium design)

Provide a step by step of what you did so we can understand where exactly you are experiencing the problem.

I second that. I still prefer that version's cosmetics and while I see the "null" error in the Error Console, I see zero effects on layout or search results but I also never search Google while "logged in". I do perform "advanced searches" but strictly via URL snips or Proxomitron.

Both of you are GitHub account owners , there's a comment section at the bottom of the userscript's homepage (it's being hosted on GitHub Gist), so, perhaps, if the author was made aware, he could investigate and, hopefully, accommodate it for Google's Advanced Search ... Just saying ...

The very last "section" basically allows you to add any .css that you want. Granted, my Google experience is also heavily Stylus'd so I did not test this independent of my Stylus userstyle. In bold is the tiny mod I made - <excerpt> // And some additional styles let styles = ` <style type="text/css"> #restored-pagination.AaVjTc { margin: 30px auto 30px; } #restored-pagination.AaVjTc td { padding: 0; text-align: center; } #restored-pagination.AaVjTc a:link { color: ${isDarkMode ? "#8ab4f8" : "#4285f4"}; font-weight: normal; } #restored-pagination .SJajHc { background: url(/images/nav_logo321_hr.webp) no-repeat; background-size: 167px; overflow: hidden; background-position: 0 0; height: 40px; display: block; } #restored-pagination .NVbCr { cursor: pointer; } #restored-pagination .YyVfkd { color: ${isDarkMode ? "#bdc1c6" : "#202124"}; font-weight: normal; } .T7sFge { display: none; } </style> `; </excerpt>

update: for those that still using 32 bit vista, good news, win32ss fix the issue of 32 bit browser, so for those that still using 32 bit os and want that browser, you can use it and enjoy, it don't need --single-process to run anymore, even it have zipped browser file for 32 bit and 64 bit as option

The differences are smaller with default Windows theme, but if you use a custom theme, you'll get the titlebar from theme, not stock Windows 10 look-alike. This is with accent color enabled on the titlebars, stock Windows theme: Above pictures are of active/focused window, but the titlebar is fully white with the flag when window is inactive while it's more greyish without the flag. Without the flag, Chromium is overriding and trying to emulate the titlebar the way Windows' compositor draws it on its own. Another picture with official Aero Lite theme, though it can't be set through GUI AFAIK, it's Microsoft signed theme, so doesn't require SecureUxTheme or the like. The one without the flag would be similar to the very first picture above + thicker borders. Well, "thicker" probably, if I remember correctly, they're just invisible with default theme, though in Windows 11 for instance, last time I checked, they're invisible even if theme has them. Bloody Microsoft, man!

I had a feeling that there'll be another reason for not starting, though no guarantee there won't be another obstacle in attempting to re-enable it. Administrators normally don't have permission to change this service's configuration through the APIs that sc and 3rd party utilities use, but its service registry key might be accessible to administrators, so if you don't mind a reboot after changing settings, you may open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc, where you set Start to 2 and DelayedAutostart to 1, at least those are the defaults. The other method that can be used and will get the changes applied right away is through System Informer. There's only nightly build, but unless you're heavily involved with the program, you shouldn't notice anything off. If one's familiar with Process Hacker, which is basically its predecessor, one should have known "stable" build really means old build lacking many features developed over time. When you install it, you have to launch it as TrustedInstaller, so launch it normally as administrator first, then in the menu, choose System->Run..., type in C:\Program Files\SystemInformer\SystemInformer.exe and tick Create this task with TrustedInstaller privileges. Another instance of the program will open, where you can open Services tab, double click wscsvc in the list, change Start type to Auto start and enable Delayed start and save with OK. While some people shun the suggestion to reinstall, they tend to underestimate how borked things can get. The problem in this thread is hopefully on the easier (more obvious side). But say we focus on registry alone, the amount of data that is there (on top, keys also have owner and permissions, the latter could be explicit or inherited), you can't possibly tell with a naked eye if everything is OK.

no, it don't require KB4474419, but it does mention that platfrom update is optional

Yes, we can manually create accounts, but someone (like you) would have to act as an intermediary with the person to get information to me. The only information I need is their email address and username that they'd like to use. If you can talk to this person and get that info, you can PM it to me and I can make the account.

new browser for windows vista sp2 native is finally here, it don't required extended kernel to run it, it's supermium, a chromium 119 based browser https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v119

Like we all (I guess) knew, by going the chrome way, FF not only abandoned a vibrant addons community, but included a bunch of telemetry, to better serve us, laf. Three things to reduce/mitigate this behavior: 1- In your profile folder include an empty, extension-less file called "Datareporting". This prevents the creation of the folder. 2- We all have seen those pesky mojeek and brave search items popping in every now and then. You can delete them, but they comeback every nor and then, and are listed as extensions in about:support. Download the attached related file. Open extensions.json (from your profile) using notepad+++ (pspad freezes for some reason opening it). Copy and search for Look the code in brave, mojeek.txt file, and find the equivalent in extensions.json (they will have changes in ui, as per your installation, so copy and paste over won't do the trick). Once you found the code, delete it manually. Once you selected in this json (make sure they correspond perfectly, or modify as required. DELETE THOSE ITEMS FROM extensions.json. Brave and mojeek, bye bye. 3- Activate these (many hidden, some probably useless, but hey) items in user.js -or one by one using about:config. See included attachment. telemetry items for user.js brave, mojeek.txt

ON another note, setting user_pref("permissions.default.shortcuts", 2); , where 0 is default 1=allow 2=block prevents page overriding of FF shorcuts, but breaks delete and backspace. The immediate solution is setting this to 0. This dev claims he has a solution that allows you to prevent page overriding of FF shortcuts, while keeping delete and backspace functional. https://superuser.com/questions/1510447/delete-button-del-button-is-broken-in-firefox-when-sites-are-blocked-from-over

I'll maybe revisit Supermium in the future again, but the last 115 I tried, secure DNS behaved just like in 360 Chrome, meaning not working at all.

Could be due to the fact there was a problem with secure DNS functioning in Supermium, reported on github. @UCyborg, try to replicate the error with or without secure DNS.

Well, people on github wrote 115 was more stable. I didn't notice font issues. I keep remote fonts blocked, though ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS seems like a serious issue, did you report on github?

Oh, and certainly you would need to extract the crx into a folder with the help of uniextract first.

I got both D3D9 and WebGL 2 running here (as slow as on roytam1's browsers) with enabling webgl.disable.angle and layers.prefer-d3d9. ANGLE is useless on my end as even something as old as Lights by HelloEnjoy errors out. It works on old Firefox 6 through ANGLE though. Testing on multiple operating systems made me believe Chromium still remains the only decent option for running WebGL content at high performance, as high as it can get inside a web browser at least, just not on a legacy system like Windows XP. No crashes of the browser in other areas here, though I still have this shim in place for mypal.exe: Haven't checked if it's still actually needed with the latest version, but in the past, it would definitely prevent crashes in certain cases, if I remember correctly, WebAssembly content was prone to crashing in particular. Only browser crashes, no BSODs ever here on my XP x64, both multi-process and OMTP enabled as well.

New Moon 28 with setting "image.webp.enabled" to false : webp images on https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1 are not loaded , so that works. when testing 360Chrome 13.5.2036 against the amiunique.org site , the http header is changed after the dll edit as you posted. but the webp images on developers.google.com are still displayed. https://superuser.com/questions/1179401/how-to-disable-webp-images-in-chrome the suggestion posted here : change the "Accept Request Header" and the "user agent" to a non webp supported browser also has no effect on 360Chrome. just my results as you requested. my opinion : this "threat" will vanish as soon as it became public. with every major browser now patched , software and even on the OS level there is nothing to exploit. the "common user" is not even the target.

Now we talking! So get your arse off the sofa and start resisting! Before it's too late! Form a movement, get support from businesses who are fed up with the agenda crap and just want to make money in a free and safe state. Make up a short and sweet name, like WLM (white legacy matters) or smth. The indoctrination of kids is imported from the well known commie countries. Don't you get it ? Read history, it's how any totalitirian state begins to emerge. Be prepared : up to 75 percent in your movement will be working for the FBI (whio aren't on you side now), but that doesn't mean you will never get sympathies from them. Just be on your guard and act with caution. Later on, when you get enough money - start recruiting pros. (ex-CIA, for example). Some foreigners would do good, take only those who aren't infiltrated by chinorussia, I can help you with the screening. If you ever need my help, just call D.Draker, my boys and me, we are always ready. Your FBI/NSA has no jurisdiction over us. I shan't post any more details here, publicly. P.S. I do consult, also. Strategies, PR, joint force tactical operations command, cyber ops/security - all well within my area of expertise. Later years - psy ops (as a hobby), though I still consider myself a novice in that regard. And, maybe, some day we meet, I'll teach you the proper English spelling personally, while we both protect America from the aliens of all sorts.

I do. That's why I'm busy and don't sit here often.

Where were you 20 years ago? Did you have an internet connection? They already tried to push that agenda in European Union, somewhere in 2006! Plenty of creepy looking games without blood! Yes, the body just falls and no blood gets out, example Sacred (First, good German Sacred RPG with blood) and bloodless Titan Quest. That's a sure way to p*ss off many gamers, thus provoking real violence! P.S. Looks like your finger got stuck on SHIFT or CAPSLOCK.

I’m glad that Hollywood finally stopped making those old things. Means both of you not only (how should I put it politely about your English?) rather off the charts with your English, but also know nothing (zero) about human psychology. Films (movies, how you call it), be it westerns, Rambo, Bond, are meant to let off steam, here, enjoy my wisdom, lol. Add bloody brutal games to that list.
