Thanks, people there wrote it slows down it to a crawl, but maybe they don't have a strong core CPU?

Thanks, very good advice! So far, I only tried on a laptop that came with Vista x86, it doesn't have that setting, but my MSI mobo does, it freed up approx. 348 megs, I also switched off the internal graphics, thank you!!!!

It's still way too many, comparing to other ports of Chrome that work on Vista without the EX-kernel. I was shocked by the screenshot, honestly, but anyways, maybe the dude is just a huge fan of running 255 extensions all at once, who knows.

You could try changing the BIOS setting to "allow memory remap:ON", it will give you 300mb of additional RAM for Supermim on a 32bit OS.

Basically, I agree with you. As far as NoScript is concerned, I have extensive experience with this extension. I used it for many years in Firefox and later in Pale Moon. Unfortunately, there were always problems that only the developer could solve with an update. However, since there have been no updates for many years, I would do the devil to install it again. I've been using the combination of uBlock Origin and uMatrix or ηMatrix for many years, which works excellently and doesn't cause any of the problems that NoScript used to.

I had bsod c0000005 with some software when my HDD (Seagate) was dying out.

In this case the actual power capabilities of the PSU doesn't matter for the PC to just turn on. Full load under heavy gaming is another matter.

There's another method for old schoolers, but maybe dangerous for others, it tests PSU with an electric bulb as its load. I shall not write it here, I'm not gonna be responsible if someone electrocutes himself. But it can be found on the internet, I like this method and always use it. I also test any PSU for the real protections it has (I don't trust whether they claim it to have them), so I short the pins and watch if it goes kaboom, if it's a good one - the short will lead to the PSU just going off. Edit: Again, it's dangerous for inexperienced users.

This thread is about browsers for old OSes as you surely know. These OSes can't be updated anymore. And you know that, too. So what is your comment about? All what can be updated here are browsers and extensions. So what is silly regarding this? TBH, nothing. And nobody is forced to use the old stuff, of course.

That's right. A self-protection function of an antimalware programme is actually a good thing, but it can also cause problems. Especially if you uninstall it. I have experienced this several times.

Thank you for your kind words! I always try to be as fair as possible when writing articles about security programmes. I always separate objective facts from my subjective experiences in my articles. I am curious to see how AVG Antivirus Free performs in your system. The main problem in writing the article about AVG was the unfortunate fact that there is hardly any information left about AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0, and the support is a joke. Since the company behind AVG is Avast, it refers to articles and information about Avast Free Antivirus 18.8.4084.0 in all support requests. Thus, there has been no real support or corresponding information for AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0 for years. Avast could actually have made this clear in general in support requests regarding AVG, but it did not.

Hello @Saxon! If you are permanently connected with your notebook to the internet and need a real-time protection, you can try Panda Antivirus Free. Here is a link to my article: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244402 Alternatively, if you are willing to buy a license, you can try Malwarebytes Antimalware. This older version is very light on resources: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1248964 And this is a more recent version: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244368 Cheers, AstroSkipper

Thanks for the heads up

I made a post on their forum. BTW, I couldn't open account on their repo, hcaptcha.com just refuses to work on Pale Moon, the dialog doesn't popup. Anyone here wants to check https://accounts.hcaptcha.com/demo? Of course it works on Edge. But they left GitHub because of issues like that.

... Yes, and you'll have to thank @martok for that (the German creator of PaleFill ); martok is himself a Frtiz!Box owner, so he had immediate interest in getting this fixed (as it turned out, all by himself ) ; look here ... The "fix" materialised as Implement PromiseRejectionEvent but, while working on that, Align microtasks and promises scheduling with current spec also had to be implemented ; however, that last one is the cause for the much-discussed here NoScript-related crashes, so the moto "fix something, break something else" comes to mind (often inherent with coding, especially on such complex sourcebases) ... The new issue opened about it looks like is heading to a "wontfix" (at least where Moonchild is concerned), but someone should alert martok (somehow) that at least one URI induces a browser crash without the presence of the "evil" NoScript extension ...

@Jody Thornton Have you installed Vista Home Basic on a computer equipped with a SSE only CPU? Probably not. I only ask you that because Mypal 68.12.8b is a release for such hardware exclusively. Testing this release on computers equipped with an at least SSE2 CPU is actually meaningless.

Usually the remapping will be done by the hard disk internally. The weak sectors will go into pending, then come out again. How unlikely that an error would crash the system this way instead of corrupting another piece of data. A read error would be indicated in the Event Viewer.

I was born in the seventies (exactly the time you say it's started to get warmer), I remember those already heated up seventies very good. But even comparing to the already hot late seventies, what we have have here today is bloody hell, mind you - it exceeds the mentioned 30 years average weather period by almost 80%. So yeah, it's good enough to make clear observations, and not trust those 'official' sources.

I actually meant the auto login (or auto-filled usernames and passwords). They're in there, because if you press login on the website, it works, but the boxes show blank.

Yes indeed. We usually do it when new builds are issued, so if you could create a new thread for your next builds @roytam1 that would be good, and I will then lock this thread. Thanks, Dave.

Well then , I can indeed tell you that: https://www.theregister.com/ is able to crash Serpent v52.9.0 (2024-01-11) (32-bit) in xul.dll (without ever having installed NS in its profile), while the hotfix release Serpent v52.9.0 (2024-01-13) (32-bit) can load that site fine! So, thank you @modnar for reporting a NS-unrelated case where the "microtasks" bug can be witnessed! Kind greetings, good night and have a good week ahead, too!

Hi Jody and I hope this finds you well. Other than the white boxes, I'd not noticed not seeing the most saved usernames and passwords issue, might you elaborate on what you mean? I basically ignore the white boxes that cover the "reaction" (like/upvoate) and if you pretend they aren't there everything works fine still. Yes, otherwise, 68.13.8b woks just fine with everything else I do on XP and I still use it 90% of the time. Take good care.

Well, the good ol' method was to use a car tail lamp, double filament, 5/21 Watt @12V. The 21 W on the 12 V rail, the 5W on the 5 V one. On older PSU's you had to have some load on both rails.

And obviously it needs to be a classic bulb, not the diode ones they shove our throats at every store. Like this one. 100W is good enough.

@VistaLover Do you think this filter list is worth to be added to the default lists of uBlock Origin? And are there others you would recommend to add to the default ones?

I DO hope this makes a positive difference for us using NM28! I doubt it, AFAIK this is the time takes the browser to snap out when it gets stuck running a script and from user's POV, freezes in the process. Moonchild may not believe in Speedometer, which is indeed a boring benchmark, but nevertheless, the fact remains that JavaScript engine is SLOOOOOOW. Source: Working with client-rendered web app that makes me money.

Please re-download my new, once again 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, filtering and blocking of embedded ads in YouTube videos is also working again, tested in New Moon, Serpent and Pale Moon.

That's right. That's what the developer wrote. "I will not be spending effort to target discord, chromium or steam." https://github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex/issues/79#issuecomment-1564607047 I think we can now forget about it, officially.

Just make sure you don't pair up 1333FSB CPU with old chipset like 965. 1333FSB only works with Intel Q31 and up. https://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/whitepaper/316971.pdf

<OT> You fit in just fine here and anywhere you decide to post because you are "True" and "Genuine". <OT>

uBlock Origin Legacy can be installed and works in MailNews. Here is a screenshot taken from my installation: Go to my post uBlock Origin Legacy modified by @AstroSkipper - Part 3 and download my latest mod uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2-1.49.2.firefox-legacy-filter-lists-mod-by-@AstroSkipper.xpi!

I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but as with Xitter, @mina7601's test implies there's more going on than just UA sniffing. If it were just the UA, it wouldn't matter whether you used Serpent 52, 55, PM, NM, or what-have-you. My best guess: first they check the UA, then based on the browser they think you have, they do other Javascript checks. If those fail, they just drop the connection, leading to the "Secure Connection Failed" error screen. If so, apparently our browsers are better at passing a "generic Chrome" test than a "generic Firefox" test! Edit: BTW, that Chrome 109 UA works with 360EE (Chromium-86-based), but not Serpent 52 (well, I haven't tried a clean profile yet; that's yet another variable to consider). Edit 2: Well, this is a first; for Serpent 52, the maximum Chrome version that works is 88! (The minimum version is 75.) If I put anything newer in the UA, "secure connection failed." I must admit I've never seen a browser rejected for being too recent!

I'm sorry. This is not relevant to the subject that is being discussed. But if you kindly use the search function, you will see: Malwarebytes is still officially supported for XP.

I'm assuming it was Windows XP? Did you or your boss escalate the issue with their technical support? I got a full refund for their product, which seemed to cause slowness to my Windows XP PC.

I put my trust in Forbes, it never let me down. Forbes is one the most reputable sources. There's no Kaspersky in the best 10 AV list, while the still supported XP version of Malwarebytes is being one of the "Best for Real-Time Protection". The article is free to read: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-antivirus-software/

This thread is about security programs for XP that are secure. I can go one better by merging the two statements : This thread is about security programmes for XP that are secure and still work.

The BSI is strict regarding security warnings. So, your assessment is correct. In Germany, cyber security is taken very seriously as I already wrote in a previous post. AstroSkipper
