Who cares what the security center of Windows is able to recognise. Disable the corresponding notifications respectively the antivirus monitoring! What's more important is that it works and how it performs.

Yes i reproduce the crash, while you may help by checking previous versions.

BTW it doesn't mean NM27 can do e10s, just some related code changes from this upstream commit are included.

A fair guess is to assume Supermium already includes the kernel mod within the non-disclosed, close source parts, like progwrp.dll, for example.

Among other things! Try to scan a couple of files! Check the RAM consumption and the CPU usage using a tool like Process Hacker! In short, check the scanner abilities and the whole programme performance! At least, I would do that to get an impression whether the programme is any good.

1. No, we got a very cheap, green electricity, here in Holland, I'm more concerned with the unnecessary wear and log waiting times each start brings. 2. The same idi*otic voltage spikes each start brings, why would a browser need to bring my gpu to the full clocking state each start? Then it of course settles down, but it's simply not helping to let it survive longer.

I don't understand the question. I have a fast HDD - Raptor, a very old GTX titan (produced: Januray 2013).

No tests are needed since it's too obviously noticeable. Ungoogled opens up in a matter of milliseconds, while with the usual Chrome or even Supermium I have to wait for 3 seconds on my HDD. But then again, it may be different with your hardware.

Then you've come to the right place, I don't think Supermium will ever be fully ungoogled. With the rate the developer adds Ungoogled features it may only happen in the year 3047. Why? I don't know, probably the ungoogled demand is low.

I'm sure the readers and myself would be very pleased if the information you provide was presented in a little more detail. What exactly did you test? How did you determine that no connection to the cloud servers was established? And so on. People want to be able to understand and judge what exactly you have investigated and how you came to your conclusions. BTW, have you already tested the most recent version 360 Total Security 11.0.0.1083? On its homepage, it is claimed to be still XP-compatible.

You can take the newest version ported by @user57: https://msfn.org/board/topic/176299-latest-version-of-software-running-on-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1260998 Now, you won't have to be stuck with v3.1.2.

Can't reproduce, it's working completely fine here on latest Serpent 52.9.

I can't observe this problem in the most recent version of New Moon 28.10.7a1 (32-bit) (2024-02-23) with Palefill 1.28 enabled. This site seems to work. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Brave is portable, last Wind.7 version, courtesy of @AstroSkipper. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184454-last-version-of-software-for-windows-81/?do=findComment&comment=1253652

In that case, please help me find ready builds of Brave, thank you very much.

I too have this question! It seems odd. First they write they stay on older OS to be less spied on, second they port the standard Chrome/chromium, really odd.

So I went out and bought TerraTec AUREON7.1PCIe 7.1 PCIe internal audio card. I'm out of ideas...

Pretty much what the topic says, I was able to get Injustice 2 {2018} up and running, after I figured out how to install these new video drivers, I have to admit, it was not easy to find any help topics about nVidia, the search showed only bizarre results. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183688-breakthrough-new-nvidia-drivers-ported-to-vista-tutorial/ But no sound, no matter what I do. Please share the ideas. the game shows no particular errors and works fine.

... There exist several "caches" in Chromium-based browsers: Browser Cache, App Cache, ShaderCache, GrShaderCache, Code Cache, GPUCache (this list from my KMB profile; Ch87-based ); I'm not aware of a "method" to clear browser cache on a "per-site" basis (probably exists, just not aware of it ) ... As for the second part of your question, it seems to be a recurring one : https://msfn.org/board/topic/182304-extreme-explorer-360-chromium-78-86-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=1216282 ... and an answer from "yours, truly": https://msfn.org/board/topic/182304-extreme-explorer-360-chromium-78-86-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=1216289 Then again: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/?do=findComment&comment=1223512 ... and an answer from NHTPG: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/?do=findComment&comment=1223515 For your convenience , it might be best to use the Bookmarks feature on your browser ... Cheers ...

no i intall them find the problem and unistall them

Where did you get this information? It usually comes in two versions, the free version Malware Hunter and the commercial version Malware Hunter Pro. As already described in my article, the features real-time protection and automatic updates are only available in Malware Hunter Pro.

You could shut off HW acceleration in Supermium by going to Settings->System->turning off "Use hardware acceleration when available". OTOH, couldn't reproduce the symptoms you're describing on this box (Titan X GPU), in XP or Vista. Here's a screencap vid of Supermium being closed and reopened, with hwmonitor not showing any voltage/power change. Tell me how it looks on your Philips TV.

Thank you. I should look around the Forum more. I have usually downloaded pdfs before opening, so I use in-browser viewer if that is not an option.

Only throwing things on the wall and see if anything sticks but for what it costs I would try both: [Keyboard] kbdhid = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid USB = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid and: [Keyboard] STANDARD = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid kbdhid = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid USB = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid and see what happens, though I remember seeing a lot of people having issues with attempts to install 2K with only USB mouse and keyboard on more modern hardware. I don't think a "working for all" solution exists, maybe - if you *somehow* manage to workaround the error - some "fully unattended setup" you may get past the text mode and hve later in the GUI a fully working keyboard, but cannot really say. Search on the board for related posts by bluebolt and tomasz86, they did a lot of work attempting to workaround similar USB keyboard issues, maybe some of those posts can provide some inspiration. jaclaz

Wow ... good to see this on 27 ...and BTW, thank you, Roy, for taking time from your personal life to keep your projects going.

... Apologies for asking, but your statement isn't quite clear to me ... SumatraPDF is a standalone application that can handle (local) PDF files, how can it be used "with" Serpent 52's native (built-in) PDF viewer (pdf.js, written in Javascript) ? Do you actually mean that for PDF files on your system, you sometimes use SumatraPDF and other times you use St52 (as a PDF viewer) ? FWIW, SumatraPDF used to come with a NPAPI plugin that could be configured to handle PDF files inside a supported browser (St52 is one ), but that NPAPI plugin was removed, starting with SumatraPDF-3.0 ; apparently, there's a hacky way to keep using the last available plugin version (2.5.2) with newer versions of the SumatraPDF application, but this is an unsupported configuration, i.e. "you're on your own": https://web.archive.org/web/20170424012056/https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/wiki/Browser-plugin

Probably a more fair comparison would be to run them both on Vista, Ungoogled runs on Vista ex-kernel up to version 110-111 or so. Supermium was made for Vista initially, that's what I mean.

Slower startup and heavier HDD usage. First and foremost, I disable everything GPU related, I don't watch videos in browsers.

The windows does not sees this version

For starters, even if we leave aside the data collection thingy, it's simply heavier. Ungoogled version has more useful flags for user's convenience, highly customizable. Are you sure you ever tried it?

I already did such kind of modifications in the past. As you surely know, the email client MailNews is actually only offered in the English language. Last year, I created a German language pack for MailNews from scratch. Additionaly, I had to add the German locale to MailNews's embedded calendar Lightning which is inside the omni.ja file and has to be modified separately. So, all a bit more complicated than usual. The effort was manageable in the end, however, translating is, as always, very time-consuming and a bit of hell. That said I am now able to switch between the English and German language even though the translation isn't complete yet. Too much other projects. And I do all translations manually and not automated to preserve the translation quality and to avoid generating syntax errors in the code. And yes, of course, separate extensions are easier to change and to test. Anyway! Have fun with your project!

I'm up to version 2.14.305 as of now. (The Photon-like UI works fine but looks a little "alien" to my eyes. If you're using a Photon theme, though, it may look like it fits right in.) My guess is that 3.0 will be the first version that doesn't work - but they do have a "legacy" build of 3.0 that might. I'll keep you posted. Localization "should" work - the updated pdf.js looks for its localization files in ./web/locale and should ignore the built-in en-US locale (which I didn't bother to delete). But I haven't tested it. Of course this is all with Serpent, which now supports newer JS constructs than the last XP-compatible Seamonkey version did. The extension developer may have stopped at 2.3.200 because that's all his SeaMonkey version could handle - or it could be that he just got tired of the project; I don't know. That said, an extension is much simpler and easier to install than replacing the version built into omni.ja, so I may experiment with updating that extension, @AstroSkipper style

There exists a project (now, seemingly, an "abandonware" ), last updated in June 2020, which offers "pdf.js" in the form of a "legacy" XUL extension: https://github.com/IsaacSchemm/pdf.js-seamonkey/releases/tag/v2.3.235 The release notes of the last version state that it's based on pdf.js-v2.3.200, so you got further than them ; the provided XPI file comes with l10n support , which was the main reason I had tested it back then in my "dirty" St52 profile ; after some days of testing, I bumped on some incompatibilities (the details of which evade me now ), so I ended up uninstalling it and reverting to the St52-embedded (English-only) "native pdf.js viewer" ...

^Thanks, Mina, for keeping us up to date

@feodor2 Did you observe sudden crashes in Mypal 68.13.9b when surfing on Codeberg.org? Unfortunately, I had to determine sudden crashes without any messages that occur completely randomly when clicking onto links on Codeberg's pages. However, only in single-process mode. All preference settings for single-process mode are set to the default values in my installation. In multiprocess mode, on the other hand, I could not observe such crashes. Any ideas?

@Amigafever Thanks for your interest in my mod uBlock Origin Legacy! Unfortunately, these new assets.json files of the webextension uBlock Origin are no longer compatible with the legacy extension. To implement such features in uBlock Origin Legacy is very time-consuming due to deeper code changes. Don't forget I am not the developer of uBO which is gorhill together with his team! I am just a one-man band when it comes to fixing code or creating new things. All changes I did in terms of uBlock Origin Legacy are the result of own investigations of uBO's source code. Apart from that I don’t really like this new feature. One always has to weigh the effort and the benefit of such things. I have a lot of projects, and my time is unfortunately limited. Greetings, AstroSkipper

Did a lot of research back in the day. I don't trust these methods of trimming from XP but I've read these three threads you share and I'm going to try some of the options. Thanks!

Yes, this is a new bug, sure this is to be fixed I have found and appllied several things to make browser faster, as i usually do examine newer firefox code.

@Cocodile, since you seem to be the only one trying to help me find Brave, may I trouble you for the advice on safe Chromium for Windows 7? As I already pointed out, something similar to Ungoogled.

I fail to understand why do they all patch only the standard chrome, not ungoogled.

Thanks. It's only one game I have troubles with. Any others work fine with sound, be it onboard realtek, or the new dedicated card I bought. HDMI driver not installed, I have no use for it, the speakers are hooked up via Sony Philips digital output (SPDIF).

Thanks all! Still no luck( I tried with and without @win32kernel. Tried all different sound settings. I'm very close to giving up(

I get a mega crisis every time any CF check is to be done in my browsers.

yeah it is quite amount of money but I saved this memory when AMD announced Ryzen 1xxx series and till now I finally bought another AMD rig since Athlon X2 days. BTW, since there is still no new commits from upstream, there is no UXP and BOC-UXP builds today(this week). my last week's builds are equivalent to upstream's 28.7.0.
