I have already complained to Google about their dubious behavior against operators of websites of certain nationalities. The impertinence of simply blocking sites on suspicion and without any real justification Maybe they should revise all their AI garbage and let living individuals check dangerous websites again

Are you sure? More like it's windows 10 emulator, no chrome after 109 can run on Windows 7.

I got the same issue in New Moon 28 in the profile where my German Language Pack was installed. Eight obsolete entities have been removed, and one new (<!ENTITY aboutSupport.appBasicsCPUCaps "CPU Capabilities">) has been added. Therefore, all Language Packs have to be modified. I have just fixed my German Language Pack. The file which has to be compared to the English original one is aboutSupport.dtd located in chrome\en-US\locale\en-US\global\ and to be fixed in your Language Pack. Simply delete all experimental entities from line 28 to 35 and then add the new one to line 50! If you need help or more information, don't hesitate to ask.

I usually do not use the YouTube interface in New Moon 28 or other browsers under Windows XP. It was just an experiment to see whether it is possible at all on my underperforming, old machine in these days. And it is still possible and above all, without ads or anti-adblocker messages. As I already said, I normally send YouTube links to one of my external players or download them with one of my YouTube downloaders. For watching them in legacy browsers under Windows XP I use Invidious or the extension uTube.

I was trying 32-bit version, 64-bit obviously couldn't possibly load 32-bit DLL. The thing is programmed to call undocumented API NtCreateKeyedEvent with an object name \KernelObjects\SRW_WakingEvent, which fails unless the calling application is run with administrative rights, as KernelObjects namespace is restricted. Why would I run a buggy web browser on a buggy insecure OS with unrestricted access to everything?! I live by the principle_of_least_privilege. I modified the DLL to use BaseNamedObjects instead. Also changed DesiredAccess parameter of both NtCreateKeyedEvent and NtOpenKeyedEvent calls from 0x2000000 to 0xF0003. Don't know what former is supposed to mean, but the latter has been documented to translate to KEYEDEVENT_ALL_ACCESS, which sounds about right. Browser was unusable crash fest with the original. chrome-xp-api-adapter_x86.b5044.zip There was an error on launch that said: The application failed to initialize properly (0x80000003). Click on OK to terminate the application. That was with DLL build 5041, in the latest version 5043, he put a block on XP x64 and most other OS...an error saying it's not supported. Not supported my a**, I removed the block. Can both XP x64 and XP x86 users here check the modified the DLL above and see how it works? If it's broken, should be apparent right away as new versions are about new synch code using keyed events, kinda important. Edit: Well, non-NT 5.x systems are still blocked, not sure how much mess is in there that it would be needed to prevent the user from getting crappy (non-working) experience...I could throw the check out entirely. But now it's really late here, so time to sleep.

No such problems but I use my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 together with a BPCF script. And when additionally using the extension uTube 33.1, no ads anymore here in New Moon 28. I made an experiment. Watching YouTube videos on their native interface in New Moon 28 in May 2024, all on my very weak hardware with Intel Pentium 4 single-core processor and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. I reset my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 and activated only some further default lists (Adguard Base, uBlock Annoyances, BPCF + script and my German locale filter lists). Additionally, I installed seven YouTube scripts from Greasyfork to get rid of crap and to style YouTube to my needs. I created one additional rule to cut off all comments when playing a single video. YouTube is completely free of ads. Videos are playing fine without any comments and playlists, isolated in single tabs in 360p quality. Always with autoplay off as I don't like such automatisms. Higher quality does not work well in browsers on my system. In any case, pure YouTube without any ads, ad blocker warnings or other crap. PS: Perhaps, I should mention at this point that I normally never watch videos in browsers on my old Windows XP computer, but in an external player directly or downloaded beforehand. Then I am able to watch videos in 480p or sometimes even in 720p quality. Sometimes, however, I watch very rarely YouTube videos in New Moon 28 with the help of the great extension uTube.

Nevertheless, it's still close source. I can tell what to try for those willing to disassemble it, but I shan't give precise instructions, I respect win32's choice to make it close source. A small hint. JetBrain's free .NET Decompiler and Assembly Browser, and off you go, it might help those willing to dig.

... Since you're low on RAM, why did you disable disk cache? I might be wrong , but doesn't this mean that the browser cache is now stored solely in RAM?

... Provided you already have installed a St52-compatible Userscript Editor (XUL/WE, see the recommendations by AstroSkipper ), you should've scrolled down to: and clicked on one of the three offered options; ALL 3 work fine here (St52+VM) ; first option is the GH direct link, already provided in clear text by @AstroSkipper ; the "mirrors" will get you to the respective UserScript Portals, where you have to click appropriate "Install" buttons; FWIW, direct links below : https://update.greasyfork.org/scripts/423851/Simple%20YouTube%20Age%20Restriction%20Bypass.user.js https://openuserjs.org/install/zerodytrash/Simple_YouTube_Age_Restriction_Bypass.user.js If none of the links work for you, then something particular to your St52 profile may interfere...

Try the 32-bit build of Thorium, see if (with Chrome-xp-api-adapter) it's quicker than the 64-bit build. Oddly enough, for me, it is (on x64 SP2). Works on my machine™ (Thorium/XP x64)

YouTube videos in their native interface in New Moon 28 on low-performance computers in 2024 I made an experiment. Watching YouTube videos on their native interface in New Moon 28 in May 2024, all on my very weak hardware with Intel Pentium 4 single-core processor and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM.

Here are two screenshots taken from YouTube in New Moon 28 when all configurations have been done: My new homepage of YouTube only for searching videos (Bye, bye unwanted videos ): And here is a tab when playing a single video: All is loaded relatively fast on my old machine. One of the installed scripts let me select the size of the player myself. Here it is set to the 480p size. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Important. @AstroSkipper The fact Supermium and Thorium still need these flags can only tell one thing, the portable patch is NOT applied by the author, the information on the site is misleading, to put it politely, so the browser is not fully portable, and if you start this browser without these flags, your old profile is gone! --disable-machine-id --disable-encryption

Screen for @AstroSkipper EDIT: Note, spaces 20 20 20 ... starting at offset 170CA4 are simply reserved for short testing flags like --no-sandbox flag, so you can start typing right there. My loader is unified, and will work for Supermium, also.

More likely to reduce the amount of work they would've to do each time the new version is released. I mean, no need to constantly cut out the unneeded code parts from chromium itself. Basically, the file consists of wisely stubbed/redirected APIs. (a compliment to win32)

Yes, a good suggestion to block rumour spreaders.

It would be odd to simply publish all of the source code of something which has *subscription mode* and paid Patreon versions, yes, I'm aware about the free github versions, too.

HDD gone bad, but don't run CHDSK, it will do more harm, I recommend to make a backup ASAP.

That's also happened for me when one of the VRAM chips on my GPU began to slowly die.

... But you were given named (and versioned) options already: ... Let's start with the most trouble-free option, the XUL ("legacy") UserScript Manager Greasemonkey-for-Pale-Moon (works on St52, too): https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/greasemonkey/releases/tag/3.31.4Fork https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/greasemonkey/releases/download/3.31.4Fork/greasemonkey-3.31.4-pm_forkBranch.xpi ... And don't take this personally , but at my older age I refrain from "spoon-feeding" others ... Take good care and good night!

Just a guess, but nowhere. The typically cached elements are simply re-downloaded, again and again, as if the page was visited for the first time. If @Kmuland's internet bandwidth is greater than HDD bandwidth, disabling the cache makes sense. Again, just guessing, no idea how browsers work.

But if you are getting low on RAM and no disk cache is available, where is New Moon 28 supposed to write its cache files? TBH, that does not really make sense to me. Maybe, it is better to create a small partition only for caching files by browsers and defragment it on a regular base for performance reasons.

Fixed. Uploaded to Dropbox: Link

... On mine, too ; this has been already reported before by him/them, but D.Draker, Saxon (and the rest of the gang ), for reasons probably only particular to him/them, have problems displaying ImgUr image embeds inside MSFN posts; so, by linking to yet another ImgUr screengrab, you're not proving anything to him/them ; FWIW, "error 429" is explained here - I have NO issue at all viewing "imgur.com" hosted pictures in any (recent-ish) browser/OS (Vista SP2, Win7 SP1, Win10) in my household ...

Many thanks @VistaLover for your explanations, @basilisk-dev for resolving the glitch, and @roytam1 for not inheriting it (at the last moment)

... Age-related YouTube blocks can be successfully circumvented, while being logged out of course, by using below userscript: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file#userscript I did my little experiment while being logged out of course but without any YouTube Age Restriction Bypass script. I never had such age-related blocks on YouTube here.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

... Well yes, sadly, this has also happened to me, especially when using Serpent 52 to post (only very rarely happens when using KafanMiniBrowser ) ... Well, after reloading the page (and praying during the page reload that whatever you've already written won't be lost ), do NOT immediately re-click the "Submit" button; first open in a new tab the MSFN thread you're posting to and inquire whether your post has indeed been uploaded, despite the browser hang; once you verify this is not the case, only then do click the "Submit" button anew ; FWIW, I had similar issues when using St52 to post comments on GitHub, but now, since MS made GH almost unusable in UXP-based browsers, I use KMB for GH (where that issue almost never manifests itself) ... And the very best is that now both posts have disappeared completely. Who has deleted them? I simply replied to a post addressed to me. And above all, why both? What's going on here?

There was a leak, my first release wasn't protected with X-prot, so someone, someone I shared my app with, had hacked it and made another launcher app based on my knowledge, but it's nowhere near as good as the original, that person didn't know all secrets. Clearer now?

Then --enable-low-end-device-mode would better suit your needs, in theory it should combine many, including these. Don't throw stones at me, if not. Just try. *use without quotes.

And that is one reason why I love our legacy versions of uBlock Origin. No such badlists.txt file. Personally, I don't like being restricted by whoever and for whatever reason although all is done in the name of "security", of course.

I believe that updating Chrome components in the background on Windows XP may now be more of a problem than a benefit. It's been so many years since support for Chrome on Windows XP was discontinued that components for this operating system are no longer being developed, let alone checked for compatibility. Thus, using the flag --disable-component-update seems to me a logical consequence.

From my experience, 382.xx versions and below are the only ones that were written for Windows Vista and 7. Later are just ported 10 drivers. To be 100% sure, try R375 (376.xx) series.

Yes, looks very weird it's still not there, I mean for a fifteen years old totally out-of-support buggy OS.

I am yet to test this extended kernel,but the last time i did,it didn't work.

A bit off-topic is no problem. But keep in mind I created this thread to be no longer off-topic in @roytam1 thread regarding YouTube Downloaders! But that conversely should not mean losing sight of the goal of this thread. Talking about a browser that you can't really use because it's not available to the public makes no sense at all in this thread and is totally off-topic. Please, contribute within the generously set framework of the topic of this thread! Here, we want to know all about YouTube using under Windows XP in these days. Thanks in advance!

Windows NT4 Extended kernel Hello everyone, During my free time this summer, I made an effort to work on NT4 win32k.sys . Unfortunately, the development of user32.dll is currently on hold. I need to find a solution for integrating structs into win32k.sys. This task has been challenging, as I've been constantly dealing with BSOD errors. Despite the difficulties, I've gained valuable experience from this process. It has been both exhausting and beneficial. I've compiled the files I've developed into a small update, which you can access through the link below. However, before installing this update, make sure to have IE4 and then IE6 installed. SP6AI386 .exe installed on SP1 ISO is required IE4 LINK >> standard installation >> accept add active Desktop feature .

Still, in a perfect world, it is in theory possible to emulate BIOS in UEFI, not entirely unlike what CSM does on most "dual" UEFI/BIOS firmwares, at least for the basic functions that DOS requires. A sort of "reversed" Clover. The whole point that the Intel (and associates) guys used to sell us[1] the stupid EFI/UEFI crap[2] was that it was essentially an operating system on chip and that *everything* was possible in this environment. Now, more than 10 (ten) years have passed (actually almost 15), and we evolved from a very limited boot environment that could only execute a bunch of assembler, consisting ONLY of MBR code, PBR code and bootloader/bootmanagers to a powerful environment that can run *anything* BUT for which essentially only bootloaders/bootmanagers exist (and was it not for our friend PBatard - Author of Rufus among other things - we would also be limited to FAT32 ): https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs In a nutshell, the possibilities are out there, and hopefully - before or later - someone will take the challenge. jaclaz [1] please read a "force down our throats" [2] not only crap in itself, crap worsened by arbitrary overlays of uneeded complications and limitations, the perfect example of "committee design" worsened by the de facto monopolistic power of some of the components of the committee
