  1. https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases github still not, don't know, I have set autoupdate from codeberg https://www.mypal-browser.org/download.html just now

  2. Ok! I checked my system once again. In my Windows XP main partition, I unfortunately discovered that one of four registry keys relating to the region and language options had disappeared. No idea why. However, the time and time zone display was still intact. Fortunately, I have a second Windows XP partition from which I was able to export the missing key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International and import it into my main partition. Now, all is working again. This fixing has actually led to a change in Firefox ESR 52.9.0. Now I also get the correct time and time zone displayed there:

  3. I thouht what is it, because it works to me, then got that this is only bug when switched to single process. There no good point to do this unless your machine is very weak with poor RAM 1gb and less. On regular machine like core2dua with 2gb RAM use default multiprocess mode And I try fix this menu next version. 68.14 is now cooking for publish.

  4. Thorium still has a dedicated website (not sure how old it is), but I don't advise to link to it, it has loads of Windows cr-cks, including his own, so don't get banned for posting his site! Or this topic might be locked, too! Thorium is still a distributor of highly illegal content.

  5. All is correct. Do you really think that I wouldn't have checked that first of all? So, the question is what did you and @UCyborg do that makes Firefox ESR 52..9.0 show the correct time and timezone?

  6. On the other hand, the following JavaScript command returns the correct time zone including DST in Firefox ESR 52.9.0: new Date().toTimeString().slice(9); "GMT+0200" or new Date().toString(); "Mon Apr 22 2024 20:45:37 GMT+0200" or new Date().toDateString(); "Mon Apr 22 2024"

  7. I found a further JavaScript command to get the correct, local time including DST in the web console of New Moon 28, Firefox ESR 52.9.0 and Serpent 52 probably too: new Date().toTimeString().slice(0,8); returns the correct,, currently local time at the moment: "19:41:01"

  8. Here, I get the same as @AstroSkipper, so "ETC/GMT-1". Here unfortunately not as I already mentioned before:

  10. For Vulkan you need a fairly modern GPU (2016 and onwards) and Win 10. Some claim it may *probably* work with Win 7.

  11. Encrypted ClientHello is currently supported, and it wasn't "teared" by Google. But it's absent in Thorium. This topic is about Thorium, not Supermium, some here still isnist those two "aren't clones". https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-encrypted-client-hello/

  12. That's not the question I asked. Anyways, we can't even be sure it's on the level of the 114 engine. Many flags and/or functions are missing, just read on github.

  13. Is Chrome telemetry stripped away from this browser? Someone checked?

  14. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only wrote what I saw a very long time ago, I don't have a github account, I don't follow what's up there. But someone who distributes cr*cks would logically want to hide the real location, no? BTW, the username is still very Russian, and his English speaks for itself. By this very logic you would demand proof win32 is from Canada, right? As for me, I'm 100% certain win32 is from Canada. Alex F., on other hand, well, you know. In any case, don't use the browser if you're worried. Solved.

  16. Well then Tutonota cant send anyone not using Tutanota email messages and MXtoolbox or other tools that can check for SMTP will say no stmp found, oh wait it says there is MX record and SMTP https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3atutanota.de&run=toolpage STMP is not just for sending emails from client it is also means which email server communicate with other email server. Just because you cant connect to SMTP to send message does not mean it wont exist. If there is email server you can send email to there is SMTP on both ends. Now STMP can (and should be) wrapped in SSL/TLS tunnel where it is encrypted similar to HTTPS traffic but if encryption is breached it is readable. And all this time I am referring to standard email, one other side will receive. There are similar commercial solutions with ability to send link to protected mail server but that mail telling you got secured mail is still sent using SMTP between two mail servers. I highly recommend you do more research on email system before you start argue about this topic. I work almost daily with email servers and know how it runs under the hood on any of them. Even Microsoft Exchange despite using MAPI protocol uses SMTP to talk with other mail servers.

  17. Sending on a postcard is hilarious. Secure is secure only if all the players follow the rules. The last three "certified" letters I received via United States Postal Service were left at my house without so much as a SIGNATURE acknowledging receipt. H3ll, one of those three was left on my front door step where any light breeze could have sent it flying.

  18. Bingo! I once had an ONLINE bank account try to DENY me an account because I *refused* to give them an email address for them to SOLICIT. I had to include THEIR corporate lawyers - it is ILLEGAL to conduct FINANCIAL BUSINESS over email, therefore you do NOT "need" my email address. NONE of my bank accounts have an email address!!! NONE of them. I do not need three emails telling me my statement is ready, four emails to confirm/verify a transfer between accounts, seven emails to solicit me into an account type I did not ask for, et cetera.

  19. Such as thing as secure email does not exist due to email nature. It was never built to be secure in first place. Even if you encrypt SMTP traffic with ssl and only access email using some client with perhaps even ip based blocking it is still not 100% secure. Solutions like that only add bandages into root issue. Point you are sending email outside "secure" provider it is as secure as on any other provider. Even if you use something like deltagon secure mail which many companies uses it does not offer full security as all i need is link for secure email and open it before original recipient does. And that email link is sent to any insecure email server. Even got SMS MFA to view secure messages there are means to intercept text messages (which i cant talk here) Closest for secure email is to use PGP to encrypt email but I just opt not send anything confidential over the email and treat it like sending postcards.

  20. It's not just your e-mail address. It's also your phone number. Whenver I try to so much as get a haircut, they ask for my phone number. When I tell them "zero" they get all offensive so I tell them, I do not own a phone, so that makes my phone number ZERO.

  22. Yeah, @chermany4ever, @NotHereToPlayGames started a very interesting thread about proxo somewhere in this forum. His efforts made me try proxomitron for a second time (first time in the early 2000s), but he is right: the proxomitron learning curve is steep, and there are ways to accomplish many things proxomitron offers, without the effort. I confess: I'm lazy. But if I had to stick to XP for internet matters, I would try it for a third (it's a charm) time. Until then, I'm still trying to run XP as a virtual desktop app in a mint environment. The constant efforts of many gentlemen/ladies(?) in this forum (cheers!) prevent me from doing (seriously) so at the time. Again, lazy I am.

  26. The problem that new firefoxes, supposed they done mentioned 1346211 bug, take the timezone from the OS anyway then send it to the icu and mess through its own big timezone tables, and then adjust time, which they take from the OS too, why??? Meanwhile time zone names differs in winxp and win7, and of course icu tables set to win7 names so fails on winxp. I don't get this foul behavior, I made to take the time zone and time from OS "AS IS" , I think OS knows better what time and browser should not mess with it, but I did not know about "toLocaleTimeString"

  27. The JavaScript command Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone; leads in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and Firefox ESR 52.9 to the same, wrong output (or should I say the same, currently wrong output? ) under Windows XP: "Etc/GMT-1" which means UTC/GMT +1 hours and is the correct winter time. In my location, however, it should actually be UTC/GMT +2 hours due to the currently valid summer time (DST). But this JavaScript command new Date().getTimezoneOffset(); returns the correct difference (in minutes) between UTC time and my local time: -120 My conclusion is that the JavaScript commands new Date().toLocaleString(); new Date().toLocaleString('de-DE'); only return the general time zone (here winter time, UTC/GMT +1) without any DST which has been set in Windows XP whereas. The JavaScript command new Date().toLocaleTimeString('de-DE', {timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin'}); can do the correct output in my case, of course. Anyway! There is a problem fetching the correct DST.

  28. I have done a test to check the behavior of the Paragon GPT Loader driver with the 2TB limit in an XP system configured in IDE mode. After formatting my 4TB Seagate ST4000LM024 GPT disk in Win10, I started to fill it always in Win10 by copying in a progressive way the files numbered from 01 to 432 until to reach 2,194,897,825,792 bytes (at the end of the copy I made sure that all the files were uncorrupted): After connecting the disk to the XP system with Paragon GPT Loader installed, I first verified again that all files were not corrupted and then copied a single file to the disk reaching a total of 2,199,889,600,512 bytes: Checking once again the integrity of all files, I noticed that the first file copied a few days earlier (the one marked with the number 01) was now corrupt while all the others were intact. But on the next system reboot, here is what happened: The problem encountered is almost the same as the one I detected using the asmedia asahci32.sys driver in a system configured in SATA/AHCI mode. The difference, which is no insignificant, is that at least with the asmedia driver, by following the identical procedure above, the drive was still accessible in XP and other files were still correctly available although the 2,199,023,255,552 bytes limit was exceeded. At this point, I also have serious doubts whether the GPT Loader can effectively work on 3TB GPT disks. It certainly does not work on 4TB GPT disks.

  29. Although Proxomitron is definitely a great tool (I used for some time in the past), it's more for security nerds. The more tools are involved in something (filtering and blocking content, elements and scripts), the more it needs to be properly configured and readjusted. I don't want to have such an additional tool for filtering in the background. uBlock Origin serves all my needs. And in some profiles, I have additionally installed ematrix. That's absolutely enough for me. No need here for more, but rather less.

  30. Don't think most people who run XP/Vista today do it out of practical considerations/because their HW can't handle a later OS. For me, it's more like running a vintage car as a daily driver -- impractical, hard to explain the appeal, but fun nevertheless.

  31. Agreed. Here is today's Browser Irony - we have a lot of folks that polyfill old browsers to perform new tricks, myself included. This is mainly the XP Crowd though the Vista Crowd isn't much far behind in this regard - "keep old at all costs" (without any "cost analysis" that doing this COSTS MORE (both in personal time and CPU/RAM usage) then UPGRADING). But now that I'm on Win10 + Ungoogled Chromium v114, I've actually found myself intentionally doing the OPPOSITE - tracking down what javascript functions run in v114 or newer and BREAKING THEM so that they do NOT "execute".

  32. I can't confirm your observation. My Windows XP system always shows the correct DST time. But I don't get the correct system time in the original Firefox ESR 52.9 when usimg the JavaScript commands: new Date().toLocaleString(); new Date().toLocaleString('de-DE'); We have summer time here, and these commands always show the winter time (1 hour less). I only get the current, correct DST time when using this command: new Date().toLocaleString('de-DE', {timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin'}); Same in New Moon 28. Tested in the web console and in a clock custom button I already modified in the past. So, no need to change anything DST related in my system. Cheers, AstroSkipper

  33. That said, I could live with it when it comes to general browsing where it's not the end of the world unless you're too picky, but when it comes to heavy stuff, including Google Street View...well things like that could be the the reason to take Chrome, unless you already use it as main browser, I still prefer the alternatives in general, despite their flaws...

  34. That's because that flag is originally an Official Ungoogled Chromium flag and Supermium hasn't (yet) started importing patches from Ungoogled repository.

  35. @Sampei.Nihira's favourite "Encrypted ClientHello" - is missing from this browser. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/issues/199 As it was introduced quite a long time ago, in 115(?) or so, how can we be sure it's indeed v.122, and not that faked old engine 115 from the old China port? @NotHereToPlayGames, what do you think? Alex. F. didn't respond, so far.

  36. Bingo! While it is a great thing for Supermium and Thorium to bring "cutting edge" browse-ability to XP, it is clear that XP is quickly quickly quickly becoming something only seen in RETIREMENT HOMES. You know, where the user has 40 minutes to perform what would only take 4 minutes in Win10.

  37. @Dave-H Thorium has the setting you need, in chrome://flags #close-window-with-last-tab toggle to "Never" and the browser will no longer shut down when you close the last tab.

  40. Well ... I don't know, I guess I subscribe to this school of thinking, I mean, I'm certain my ISP knows pretty much everything about me, but I do nothing wrong. When I gave up all addictive substance/behaviors in 2017 porn also had to go FOR GOOD and never since. I have a very addictive personality so I need be careful of even forum addiction ... which is partly why I don't post as much as I used to. Thank you @Sampei.Nihira for that explanation, I think I get it, but I don't know, I haven't been doing very well as of late and sometimes the simplest of instructions escapes me. Thank you guys for everything. Maybe time to just use my ISP's dns resolver going forward since I'm not on a VPN anyway so I'm not hiding. I mean if anybody wants to come see me that badly just let me know so I can put on a pot of coffee ... I can't cook but I can at least do that much but be warned I'm terrible company nowadays. Take good care.

I have created the offline Root Certificate Updaters both from 27.02.2024 and the current ones from 26.03.2024 and added the links to my article. Cheers, AstroSkipper
