If I may chime in - basilisk-dev: while that may be true, we never experienced major problems with roytam1's releases and even if we did have some crashes, they were resolved rather quickly and painlessly. All I can say is that we can be thankful for your and roy's efforts and we should work together to push development of better classic browser forward, even for us that are cemented in the "old" system which may be unpopular, but it sure is fun to have it as daily driver even now, when all the world is crazy for excessive data sharing and automatic idiots.

Thanks! You're welcome! I had that list enabled in the distant past, but it is indeed very restrictive and will cause false positives. (see e.g. this old issue in the uMatrix repo) It currently has 161.498 entries! I don't think that's beneficial, especially on older hardware... Also, the maintainer is known to block domains based on his personal opinion (mostly in his additional lists)... I decided to add these two "StevenBlack/hosts" filter lists to cater for those who prefer a more restrictive and comprehensive approach to address blocking. In general, I agree with you. His filter lists sometimes overshoot the mark.

FYI, I mentioned eCleaner, an extension for purging the browser's profile folder, in my main article about uBlock Origin Legacy. All about eCleaner and my corresponding, self-created eCleaner custom button can be found in my article eCleaner custom button created by AstroSkipper for the extension Preferences Monitor. BTW, a longer time ago, I also created a standalone version of eCleaner 2.5 which actually was only distributed embedded via the extension Preferences Monitor. The last original, standalone version was eCleaner 1.4 from 2011. And many thanks to back2themoon and Blacklab from the Pale Moon forum for the additional hints and information in their posts about my mod uBlock Origin Legacy and the eCleaner extension! Cave canem! Sed eCleaner cavendum non est! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Yes. That's why I already wrote in a previous post:

Btw, have you seen that the update is also announced in the Pale Moon forum thread?

@roytam1 I observed a problem when using uBlock Origin in MailNews. It doesn't matter whether using the original version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 or my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.33. In uBlock's dashboard page "Settings", the button "Back up to file" doesn't work. Same problem with the "Export" button under "My filters" and the "Export to file" button under "My rules". Do you have any idea why? On the other hand, the "Restore from file" and the "Import" buttons are working correctly. Is the function that these buttons call up possibly not available in MailNews or blocked for security reasons? PS: I get on the pages with the "Restore from file" and the "Import" buttons the error message "Error: TypeError: details is null" in the Error Console. Here is, for example, a screenshot of the Error Console when loading the "Settings" page in the most recent version of MailNews:

Hello @roytam1! I use Grabit (in the version 32.0) instead of FlashGot in Serpent 52 (basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20230708) and in New Moon 28 (palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20230708). Is Grabit affected, too? I have checked both browsers and can't see any problems in terms of broken dialogues. Grabit simply does its job. FYI, Grabit is a fork of FlashGot, but I think you are already aware of this extension. Some minutes ago, I also checked Get'emAll! in New Moon 28 and couldn't observe any broken dialogues, either. Maybe, you could be so kind to describe these errors more detailed to understand what you mean. Thanks in advance!

Looks great! I am glad to to see such progress. Hope we can enjoy it in new releases next week. Thank you for the continuous development!

OK ! So you confirm they perform actions. How am I (we) allowed to call these actions ? Malicious ? Or multiple BSODs and 10x times RAM consumtion are still not enough to call them that ? Thanks.

Absolutely agree ! Besides, he got the knowledge about this "ungoogled" version and the explanations about removing the Chinese DNS from another MSFN user @Dixel, whom he didn't even mention here, which is considered not polite here, at MSFN. My hunch is in this new version the chinese/russians changed lots of things and this is why it became even more unsafe and without Dixel the creator of this repack doesn't know how to properly remove them. Again, my opinion. Good someone else confirmed this, otherwise some would say I'm "trolling" again. So in short , new version , new telemetry locations which he doesn't know where to look at. Hence the spinning disks, cookies, etc.

Nicely said ! Unfortunately it seems impossible to get here since it's still based on the old russian sterter app that simply removes the registry entries and does nothing to prevent them in the first places.

Wow ! Just wow ! It's to scan your data on the disk and then send it to the russians, obviously ! I'm so glad I stayed away from this browser version and my data didn't leak. Like I knew something bad was going to happen. I just checked on another spare computer with a cold storage and it does the same for me ! The PC is offline, of course. Many thanks for your warnings and greetings from Vichy.

Fortunately, that one has been salvaged by crx4chrome : https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/299038/

Sorry, but some of it was too complicated for me, so I didn't understand it. But now I've got it. Thanks.

... With respect , you did not make an effort, it seems, to follow what I have already posted in a previous post ; whether a PDF on-line URI will generate a "Save As" file download prompt (case 1 in your previous post) or the PDF file will be auto-downloaded in the background and rendered+displayed inside the browser's Native PDF Viewer (case 2 in your previous post) is something beyond the user's (initial) control, in fact it's a server-side configuration: the PDF file on the hosting server has been configured with a content-disposition value, by the server admins... In case 2, the value is "inline"; this (alongside a suitable Content-Type header) instructs the browser to handle the PDF file "in-line", i.e display it inside a tab via the native viewer (or via a PDF reader plugin, where applicable); in case 1, the value is "attachment"; this instructs the browser to simply "download" the PDF file to disk, for storage. I have already mentioned an extension in my previous post which changes the "attachment" Content-Disposition value to "inline", but the problem with such an extension is it's not specific to PDF files; other types of files you may want to download to disk (e.g. images, audio, video, etc.) will attempt to be displayed directly in the browser (if the browser is able to render them natively); that's why I said I only enable that extension at will...

It works with Vista x64, x86, I checked myself. Though, it can't boot from it. I have a classic BIOS from 2009 (without films and games in it).

Thank you for your update. I really like your UBO update. Now I use Windows XP to mainly watch movies, listen to music and YouTube. I immediately clicked to see. where you have updates

As an addendum to my previous post, Mozilla do host (on GitHub) "on-line" editions of their PDF.js lib, one targeting "current" browser engines: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html and another targeting "legacy" browser engines: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/legacy/web/viewer.html Neither of the two works on Ch86/87-based browsers (and on St52) to display the "C0801E.pdf" file, https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/legacy/web/viewer.html?file=https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html?file=https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf while BOTH do when loaded in Ch121-based latest Supermium-v121-hf ... Yes, the browsers "we" use here are more "legacy" than what Mozilla even thought of ...

StartAllBack 3.7.5 (that's build 4872 no less)

I am not doing this, I considered doing it to prevent buggy code being pushed to roytam1's users, but I never decided to actually go forward with it. What's sad is that roytam1 continues to release code to his users that has not been verified as production ready. Code in the master branch of upstream UXP or upstream Basilisk is not always production ready. I have seen issues reported on MSFN for roytam1's builds because he was pulling code from master branches before they were ready. He is doing a disservice to his users by giving them potentially buggy code.

It's not their own, it's the same thing Mozilla Firefox ships with, maybe different version, it's called pdf.js, indeed written in JavaScript.

Hi, if somebody has interest for the whole ACPI Multiprocessor XP SP3 for the HP 255 g6, just mail me Dietmar EDIT: This image works also for the HP 15-bw000ng. But the Paragon 17 tool has problems with different sizes of harddisks. 1.) Unzip with 7zip all files. 2.) With Rufus 2.18 put the Paragon.iso to an empty USB stick. 3.) After this, copy the Job-202402251402635 (contains the XP SP3 image) to the same USB stick. 4.) Put the USB stick to the HP 255 g6 notebook. Be sure, that the harddisk from the HP 255 g6 is empty or can be formatted with NTFS and MBR. 5.) Boot the HP 255 g6 from this USB stick (F9). 6.) Extract the full ACPI-Multiprocessor XP SP3 image in Job-202402251402635 to this harddisk in the HP 255 g6 via Paragon. Good luck Dietmar

Probably a reference edition will fit in that case, I'd also recommend to look at Titan X, 980Ti. Both will work with XP by adding an inf string, both are not huge (reference, slim design).

But if you still insist there could be ordinary (1066MHZ), "officially" specced Hyper X found, please give us the link.

Update of uBlock Origin Legacy to version 1.16.4.33 I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.32 to version 1.16.4.33. I fixed the loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" which only occur from time to time. Furthermore, I found some further strings which I edited according to the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. And I added new filter lists to different groups. The "StevenBlack/hosts" filter lists are very strong and restrictive. So in some cases, you have to set exclusions when using them. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.33 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. A detailed changelog and the download link of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.33 can be found in my main article uBlock Origin Legacy - A special mod by @AstroSkipper. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Yepp, both devices are in the DSDT from the HP but NOT in the DSDT of the Lenovo. EDIT: Yes, I succeed to integrate the HP PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse into the modded DSDT from Lenovo. There is a driver from HP for XP(!) for this keyboard. And the PS/2 mouse is simply the touchpad. So, still it seems that the reason for Bsod with original HP DSDT is the settings for VGA in its DSDT. Device (KBC0) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("HPQ8001")) // _HID: Hardware ID Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0303") /* IBM Enhanced Keyboard (101/102-key, PS/2 Mouse) */) // _CID: Compatible ID Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () // _CRS: Current Resource Settings { IO (Decode16, 0x0060, // Range Minimum 0x0060, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0x01, // Length ) IO (Decode16, 0x0064, // Range Minimum 0x0064, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0x01, // Length ) IRQNoFlags () {1} }) } Device (PS2M) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("SYN3254")) // _HID: Hardware ID Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0F13") /* PS/2 Mouse */) // _CID: Compatible ID Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () // _CRS: Current Resource Settings { IO (Decode16, 0x0060, // Range Minimum 0x0060, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0x01, // Length ) IO (Decode16, 0x0064, // Range Minimum 0x0064, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0x01, // Length ) IRQNoFlags () {12} }) }

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @Damnation I take a look via Task Manager. There are 2 Threads. So, this cpu from AMD E2-9000e has one (2?) core with all together 2 threads Dietmar EDIT: Under win7 SP1, there are 2 entries in processor in Device Manager. The same 2 entries for XP SP3 on the Lenovo board with the same E2-9000e cpu. But always only 2 entries for cpu in Taskmanager can be seen. So, my modd of the Registry miss something. I think it happens, because with "Standard PC" you have only always one cpu with one core and one thread. The numbers of processors should be 2 here always, each with one Thread. PS: Still I do not find the reason, why the HP 255 g6 crashes under XP SP3 with its orignial DSDT from HP. Mostly all of the notebooks from HP around 2017-2018 have this problem under XP. Now I think, the reason for this may be the PS/2 keyboard, because I do not find any device for this keyboard, no HID, no USB no PS/2 device under XP. EDIT: The Bsod is not because of this PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse. I edit the Registry of the HP and modd the DSDT from Lenovo as careful as this is possible. On win7 SP1 bit 7 on this HP notebook, the Device Manager tells about the keyboard: PS/2 device: Acpi\HPQ8001 But tells also about an PS/2 mouse with: Acpi\Syn3254 , it is the Touchpad.

The problem with the author's modules are their poor quality. I had the same series, and their chips failed, even being in a well ventilated case. Their temps never went higher than 36 degrees (Celsius). It's human's body temperature.

Hi, is it possible, to forbid Microsoft to update my win10 Home version from 2017 to a newer version? I mean, I want to get other updates. But I dont want, that my Win10 home 2017 version is updated, because it crashes my Asrock z370 k6 fatalty compi Dietmar

Hi, is there an easy test, if any tool can make TRIM successful on any SSD or nvme disk? I ask this, because I checked a lot of tools under XP SP3, but still I am not sure, if TRIM works on a nvme disk. Under Win10, after running TRIM with any tool, Win10 tells, that no TRIM has been done on this nvme device Dietmar

https://blog.simplix.info/update7/#history

Hi, I test without zeroring out, with small file and delete, with BIG file and delete. Result is always the same: NO Trim with the O-Odefrag tool on XP SP3 Dietmar

Hi, I make a test of working TRIM via O-O defrag tool on XP SP3. For this, I zeroed all out of the Samsung 960 Pro 500 Gbyte nvme disk. During out zeroeing speed goes down as much as possible, slower than a harddisk. Then I run 2 time O-O defrag TRIM under XP SP3 on it. All was yellow before and all was yellow after. O-O defrag ends without error. With Crystal Diskmark 5.1.2 you can see, that for the Seq read, write, speed was still about 500 Mb/s. Then I trim this 960 Pro with Win10. And voila, speed for the Seq read, write goes up to 1551 Mb/s. So, I am to 100% sure, that TRIM via O-O defrag does not work on this Samsung 960Pro. TRIM via Win10 works. So, this is congruent with all my test before belonging to the O-O defrag tool. It is just a fake tool for TRIM running under XP SP3 Dietmar

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD I make a lot of tries with the Lower Filter driver iusb3hcs.sys which was originally introduced for Win7 for to enable USB3 on Haswell boards and below. This HC Switch driver was modded by @daniel_k for XP and works. But even if pci.sys and iusb3hcs.sys are both signed (in the eyes of XP), their work together as "Pci bus" is not signed, crazy. See the discussion at zone94.com http://zone94.com/downloads/software/operating-systems/123-windows-xp-professional-sp3-x86-integral-edition?comment_id=9205 A Lower Filter is a connection between a driver and the underlaying hardware. I think, that the acpi.sys 7777 does not allow Lower Filter, but the acpi.sys 5048 does. Now, XP SP3 choose during install always the pci.sys driver alone, without the Lower Filter iusb3hcs.sys, because it is signed. I find the difference in Registry in ACPI ENUM and this difference can be just add to a working installation and the Lower Filter driver iusb3hcs.sys is forced into pci.sys. But this methode does not work during installation, because the Enum tree is written always new then Dietmar EDIT: Now I think, that the WdfCoInstaller01009.dll is needed for this Lower Filter driver iusb3hcs.sys. This is not working [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\ACPI\PNP0A08] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\ACPI\PNP0A08\0] "Capabilities"=dword:00000030 "HardwareID"=hex(7):41,00,43,00,50,00,49,00,5c,00,50,00,4e,00,50,00,30,00,41,\ 00,30,00,38,00,00,00,2a,00,50,00,4e,00,50,00,30,00,41,00,30,00,38,00,00,00,\ 00,00 "CompatibleIDs"=hex(7):2a,00,50,00,4e,00,50,00,30,00,41,00,30,00,33,00,00,00,\ 00,00 "Service"="pci" "ConfigFlags"=dword:00000000 "ParentIdPrefix"="3&11583659&0" "ClassGUID"="{4D36E97D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" "Class"="System" "Driver"="{4D36E97D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\\0015" "UINumberDescFormat"="PCI-Steckplatz %1!u!"

Nice, stable PORTABLE Chrome browser for XP SP3 It is an English version now. I get also 528 points in HTML5 test Dietmar

@AstroSkipper Now I do not think, that Trimcheck 0.7 is a tool, that can always correct tell, it a TRIM operation has been done successfull or not. I make a try for to see this behavior with my 970 Pro nvme disk. Under win10 I use TRIM. Before I set up this jason file from Trimcheck. But after TRIM via Win10, Trimcheck still tells, that no TRIM has been done on this disk. I know to 100%, that TRIM from win10 works on this nvme disk. So, until now to valid prove, if TRIM happens or not Dietmar

@AstroSkipper On Win10, I can TRIM this nvme device easy. So it looks, that until now no nvme TRIM tool is on the market, that runs under XP SP3 Dietmar

@AstroSkipper I just test Trimcheck 0.7 under XP SP3. For TRIM I use OODefrag17ProfessionalEnu. Trimcheck tells me after this procedure, that no TRIM has been done on the Samsung 970 Pro nvme disk running under XP SP3 as bootdevice Dietmar

Hi, I try to install fresh from my 200 Euro expensive original win10 Home version 1703 from March 2017, on my Asrock z370 k6 fatal1ty board. Crazy, install stops, because this original USB stick from Microsoft shows unreadable sectors. And it is write protected, so no chance for any repair. Nice from Microsoft. Ok, after crazy search for this 1703 german version of this win10, I find 15063.0.170710-1358.rs2_release_svc_refresh_clientcombined_ret_x64fre_de-de_d6cd31298648aab2ff081004ceff2ffceb7aab64.esd on Microsoft Servers. There is also a 32 bit version of this 1703 version in german 15063.0.170710-1358.rs2_release_svc_refresh_clientcombined_ret_x86fre_de-de_52c33a275f77116954abe5f508d1254a49f5fe20.esd Then I build from it via this tool an *.iso for 64 bit. esd-decrypter-wimlib-63 From this I get the *.iso 15063.0.170710-1358.RS2_RELEASE_SVC_REFRESH_CLIENTCOMBINED_OEMRET_X64FRE_DE-DE.ISO I make an bootable USB stick, using Rufus. And voila, there installs win10 home 1703 without any problems. At once I click on the nice file from @mjd79 wushowhide.diagcab and can select there, not to install win 10 22H2. And now, all my problems with crazy Updates for my compi are gone. Very interesting to know, how many millions of hours are gone thanks to Microsoft on this crazy crazy stupid Update behavior. For example, now all devices in Device Manager are correct installed. And the Update offers me also the Nvidia driver for my Nvidia 730, which was not shown in the "last" win10 version Dietmar

No! Have a look here:

Great news, indeed! You give us hope again.

Yep! And it is even possible to answer such a request by quoting, copying and inserting it into one of the numerous Chrome threads.

Unfortunately (or fortunately ? yeah, I think fortunately!) I don't use firefox, but if you scroll back, it was already explained.

Don't freakin' spam this thread with non-existent crap and absolutely off-topic vapourware.

In a huge contrast to this wonderful kernel project, nothing good is happening to the russian (stolen from the American XP) ReactOS. So let it go the way it is.

You make an acc., you write one word, I can hear the accent, I know It's you, I don't need to check your IP. Let me remind, I never had any form of beef with you, I don't have any prejudgments towards you. But, a big but - I was under the impression you are here for a clean start, no ? I'm still somewhat glad you're here, you're a funny fella. Seeing this crap resurfacing again in any form/shape, and knowing some of the previous crap you're capable of, I have a favour to ask, just freaking leave win32 alone and don't remind him of any unpleasantries, he is under my personal protection along with Astroskipper, Dave-H and a small amount of some others (don't remember their names, I just woke up, check with me later, will ya), but these ones are especially not be messed with. I can't write - go and have fun with the others, 'cause it would be against the forum's policy. Win32 is a person of creativity, he's an artist. He needs positive stuff to get inspiration, don't you freakin' understand ?!??!?

IMPORTANT: Whatever changes were made to the last October kernel, they are for the good ! I get much, much better performance in DX11 games. Esp. in the latest titles I recently ported to Vista. I mean the kernel32.dll.
