@VistaLover Can you please test the two YouTube videos from the quoted post above in terms of embedded ads under my new release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 in New Moon or Serpent but with only the preselected, default filter lists and the region-specific one enabled? I don't see any ads in either of them but @nicolaasjan does. Thanks in advance!

Have you enabled the region and language-specific filter list NLD: Easylist Dutch? I always enable the filter list DEU: Easylist Germany. Yep! Good idea! Maybe, there are users of @roytam1's browser editions willing to test the two YouTube videos in terms of embedded ads under my new release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 in New Moon or Serpent. I personally will ask here.

Only if you want to join their cursing contest, but then again, like the below user wrote, it will be censored, like all of their cursing words. Besides, it would look silly, better learn the art of good jokes.

Congrats with the new account?

I don't see any ads in either of them. And both videos are tested by me with default lists in New Moon 28, too. As far as I can see, my fixed release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 works fine here. But we need further tests and results from other users for confirmation purpose. As for PEBCAK, I wouldn't say you are a problem.

Happy New Year! While the post containing that link has had already 4 (!) reactions, I find it impossible to download the installer from the SoftPedia link ; any attempt will produce a "404: Not Found" server response ... Before you start a "wild goose chase" , I can tell you my internet connection is fine, also tried in several browsers beyond my default, Serpent 52... SoftPedia aren't hosting the installer themselves, instead they try to fetch it from the original vendor URL: ... which now just 404s ... I did my own search and the latest version of IP Hider Pro was v6.1.0.1 from, as you said, early 2017; additionally, it appears that the "iphiderpro.com" domain is now up for sale... Elsewhere I found a self-hosted installer of IP Hider Pro v5.8.0.1 (from Sep 2016), but I'm very reluctant to even launch it now - I very much doubt the original vendor/company is still a "thing", let alone that their Proxy Servers are still ON... Has anyone here actually tried this application and found it to be still working (in trial mode)? Kindest regards.

Windows 7 extended kernel simply won't load any Nvidia drivers after the summer of 2021 (Release batch R470), just like the usual Windows 7, I guess the support wasn't added either.

Tried several random games, none worked on the EX-Win7, but worked with Vista-EX.

Strange, those surely are very important! I'm afraid to ask, what is in his plans, then?

Am I allowed to use F Words at MSFN? I'm guessing "no".

Just to make sure it's not linked to the V3, simply add this command line startup flag. --enable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Availability No quotes, commas, spaces, exclamation marks, mysterious signs or ancient runes needed. Space needed only if you have more than one flags. (between the flags)

For that to happen it may be wise to ask in the My Browser Builds thread? Btw, I also tested this in New Moon 28. [Edit] Same in Pale Moon on Linux. Thank you!

Thanks! The filter lists seem to behave well, but I still get YouTube ads... (not happening with the old uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2) Also "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" with its $removeparam syntax is useless for uBO Legacy (recognizes only 3, while there are 1382 a.t.m). [Edit] Maybe you could add "uBlock filters -- Legacy" as well. It still gets an occasional update. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/legacy.txt

I of course wish all the best to the developer! But they write on github, basically no browsers after 109 from 2022 and suggest to use ports from/for Vista.

Someone knows, is the situation with AMD drivers better?

I find 378.78 to be the one, 382.16 is indeed good, too, very nice colour representation, fast.

Yes, with a new install of uBO NLD: Easylist Dutch is automatically activated (but that shouldn't have an impact on YouTube).

Well, both in the Led Zeppelin video and in the special Ad Blocker Test Video. Screenshot of the second ad in the latter (Phantasialand ad): If you don't see ads in either of them, then it must be PEBCAK here. Though both videos are tested with default lists.

@wuliyen Oh, right I was thinking about WinSxS folder, but you showed WindowsApps. It does work here and keeps all 5 folders. Maybe it's Windows setup that removes them depending on the "scale factor" of the newly installed Windows. @dimo70 You need to use GPT format for UEFI boot only and select the FAT32 ESP partition as boot drive.

Can you please provide the YouTube link and a screenshot of the ads (maybe, you can outline all ads in red) you see by using uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 which is on the other hand successfully blocked by uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2? This would be very helpful for reproducing here. I personally had problems to find ads in your last provided YouTube link.

Thanks! I still would like to know why 1.16.4.31b2 is successfully blocking YouTube ads and 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 is not, even with Legacy filters added to Custom. I tried in clean profiles, with only Quick fixes added to the former.

Thanks for your detailed feedback! The original idea for creating this build was to provide all filter lists from the webextension uBlock Origin in the extension uBlock Origin Legacy. That there are filter lists which are no longer fully compatible was expected. I just wanted to correct the version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0. Any list which is not compatible shouldn't be enabled or should be disabled if not working properly. My next release will be an update version and mod of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 itself with all filter lists that have already been their plus the list "uBlock filters – Quick fixes". In general, it is no problem to implement any filter lists into the code or to remove them from the code.

Kinda like being clairvoyant, all my predictions regarding the super low, non-existent interest in Windows 7 and the kernel have materialized.

I can only install ublock and umatrix. Not worth it. Will wait unitl supernium is up for xp

alright rust9x got x64 support(untested): https://seri.tools/blog/rust9x-1-76/

Please re-download my corrected release of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 from this post especially if you already downloaded the old one! Now, it is fully working again.

Which driver is considered to be the sweet spot?

I advise to look for more rare LGA775 1600FSB boards to be able to get overclocking to a level that makes sense. Asrock based on g31, for example, if one prefers a budget one.

Before releasing this new version, I have corrected my latest release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 from this post: Now, it is fully working. No problems any longer when updating the filter lists. The new filter list "filters-2024.txt" is now inside the xpi file and can be retrieved correctly. Inside the xpi file, all filter lists have been replaced by the most recent ones to be more recent after installing without immediate updating. Additionally, I lowered the minVersion for Pale Moon from 28.0 to 27.0 to also install it in New Moon 27 which, for example, @roytam1 seems to use. Please re-download this corrected release from the linked post above especially if you already downloaded the old one! Please, test this special version and report here! Any feedback is of course welcome! Cheers, AstroSkipper

It is probably common that spammers create multiple accounts all at the same time. We don't really have any reason to look at the registration queue like I've known others to do on other sites.

Yes, the URL has to be changed. Known issue (old post, so some things may have changed) https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter#lite-version-online-links-only I have added the proper URL to "Custom". I use the Adguard one (see commit 402e2eb). https://malware-filter.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt

It might the case of keep your friends close, and the enemies closer. Honeypot, like Telegram.

Thank you for looking into this! For now, I reverted back to uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy with "uBlock₀ filters – Quick fixes" added in "Custom". No ads any more. Btw, here is a special adblock test video. [Edit] I didn't see your comment above until now, because I replied to an older post. I noticed the %timestamp% as well, but didn't realize what it implied... [Edit2] I still have a very recent entry of 2 days ago in my "uBlock filters" list here: ! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21690 xhardhempus.net##+js(no-setTimeout-if.js, adblock)

For those willing to try Arkenfox, check https://arkenfox.github.io/gui/ . Make sure to click "expand" on the top row, and use reading lenses. It displays options available for ff119, but most of them work in FF68. To make sure what the differences are, find and check (in arkenfox github's page) the user.js corresponding to ff68. Most of the tweaks in the later do work, in fact, in sp52 too.

@Milkinis @XPerceniol and those who never used OpenVPN under Windows XP! OpenVPN is one of different VPN protocols. The OpenVPN 2.5.4 executable is a VPN client programme to connect to special VPN servers. There are many VPN service providers. Only a few offer servers free of charge, most of them offer servers which have to be paid for. The user has to download special OpenVPN configuration files from these VPN service providers which have to be loaded by an OpenVPN client programme such as OpenVPN 2.5.4. These config files can additionally be edited to match the user's needs if you are familiar with the OpenVPN protocol and the used syntax which in turn depends on the installed OpenVPN version. And here is a link to many different documents about OpenVPN: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn And (actually) just for testing purposes, here is a service called VPNBook which offers free VPN servers: https://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn In addition, here is a short guide how to setup OpenVPN to use VPNBook under Windows XP: https://www.vpnbook.com/howto/setup-openvpn-on-windowsxp Cheers, AstroSkipper

USA and France - allies forever. Glory to the US, Vive La France ! I wonder where's the @jaclaz's Italian anti-virus for XP ? Must be at the first place. I don't see it in the list . @AstroSkipper, am I missing something ? https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244365
