Good to know. I will also change that in my next release.

Our 26100.1 ISO came from a trusted U.S. source. It is a digital license, but we don't like to cheat (too much anyway).

In general, absolutely unnecessary. If Avast can't be removed from Windows inside, no matter whether in normal or safe mode, you can do this from outside. I did that in the past to remove locked registry entries which couldn't be deleted from Windows inside, not even by using Avast Clear in safe mode.

Fixed! "If using --ungoogled Chrome Store cannot be used" https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/593

In France one can get seriously beaten up for a talk like that.

Starting point for the Part II is here. From Elira's post: Stale

I disabled them all about 17 years ago on Vista, and even earlier on XP, lost nothing.

Those $5 keys are as much cheating as using digital licenses…

MPC-HC claims it's a "format", while V_MPEG4 (H264) is a proper codec name, take a closer look at the posted screenshot above.

The irony is, the original idea behind Pale Moon, waaay back before XP even, at least as I understood it, was that it was supposed to just be Firefox optimized for Windows, so it was supposed to be (and seemed to be, on my ancient Win 98 PC) faster than vanilla Firefox. No new or different features, just better performance. This was like PM 3.6 or so, but it sure seems like they went astray somewhere along the line. And enabling AVX or whatever in 64-bit builds isn't going to make up for it. I tried disabling multiprocess mode on St 55 on Win 7 and had a similar experience. Couldn't even type a post on MSFN at 10-20 seconds per letter, with one CPU core maxed out! So, even with a single core, you might have had better luck with e10s forced on. It's my opinion that the OS version makes little difference in performance, assuming the application (browser or whatever) will run on both OSes. The app might be faster if optimized for a newer version, but in that case it's unlikely to run on the older version at all. It's mostly the hardware, rather than the OS, that provides good performance.

@Anbima If you try Thorium as a solution to your secure connections problems with 360Chrome, and you have issues, please address those problems in the Thorium thread. Thorium should not need the use of any proxies, as it is based on a very recent Chromium version.

... As I understood this, the suggestion was to use Thorium standalone (presumably because Thorium comes also with its own CA store/is less prone than 360EEv13.5 under WIndows XP to fail on secure connections... But yes, thanks to Anbima, last pages on this thread went like this: 360EEv13.5 standalone -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + Local PAC script -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + Local PAC script + Chromium extension(s) -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + Local PAC script (without extension) -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII (standalone, without PAC script) -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + extension -> Thorium standalone (for his "problematic" HTTPS connections) -> exclusively Thorium-related queries -> ... IMHO, ProxyMII / ProxHTTPSProxy was the constituent with the lesser percentage in these recent discussions ; the "issue" could well have been posted in one of the 360EE threads ... FWIW, if the issue encountered is the infamous "red-X" instead of a green padlock on some HTTPS connections on 360EEv13.5 under XP, this is an already known "issue" and can well be a "red herring" (or not, but no-one posted something definitive on the matter...); IIRC, you can restore the padlock on these connections by running the 360chrome.exe executable in win2k compatibility (or something in this vein - have never faced this issue under Windows Vista SP2 x86 myself...).

Just a little reminder. This thread is about proxies. I believe there is no need to use Thorium together with ProxHTTPSProxy. @Dave-H Can you please move your conversation with @Anbima to the Thorium thread? A bit offtopic is normal and ok but I think this is the wrong place here. The Thorium thread is more suitable. Thanks!

AVC is H.264 or Mpeg4 part 10 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Coding

When it comes to Deepl, you should use the Manual Proxy instead of the System Proxy option in Proxy Switcher. 360Chrome v13.5.1030 Redux in combination with Proxy Switcher seems to have problems when using the System Proxy option. Just tested with ProxHTTPSProxy. The Manual Proxy option works fine without any errors.

Browsers don't get streams in containers, both audio and video streams are served separately.

No, those are my screencaps from MPC-HC (streaming youtube, but then again, I get the same stats if I simply download them with a saving extension in Thorium.

Someone, that much invested into security, wouldn't even visit Xitter in the first place.

Shouldn't they be identified by the codec in the browser? HEVC - V_MPEGH, H264 - V-MPEG4, respectively. I mean, AVC is format, not codec. Or no?

Which developer do you mean? Please, be a bit more precise! If you mean the extension developer, I assume he warns the user not to misconfigure the Proxy Switcher extension and not to use unsecure web proxies. Which proxy do you mean? If you mean ProxHTTPSProxy, this local proxy is as secure as Windows XP and direct connection is.

I had to create for each domain a separate, new IF query otherwise it wouldn't have worked in my installation.

I actually think what he's trying to do is for one.example.com two.example.com three.example.com www.example.com and what you are proposing will only work for example.com

For me. it works as it should. No. No green. Just insert the PAC script code! You won't get any confirmation messages. I really don't know what you are doing. All a bit strange. "example.com" is completely sufficient and exactly corresponds to the URL which you wanted to load.

No. What about that here:

Already answered by me: And since you made such a fuss about PAC here, the extension Proxy Switcher and Manager 0.5.0 which requires very little memory is the solution without having to switch the proxy manually when using a PAC script inside this extension.

Proxy Switcher and Manager 0.5.0 is the last compatible to 360Chrome due to the manifest change from 2 to 3 and works great. I tested Direct, Manual Proxy (set here the local proxy 127.0.0.1:8079) and PAC Script, and all worked as it should. So, a working PAC script (not a PAC file but a PAC script under the section Inline) can be inserted directly in 360Chrome. No need to do that in IE8 and no need to activate ProxHTTPSProxy in the system proxy settings of IE8 by inserting 127.0.0.1:8079 there. Simply call up ProxHTTPSProxy.EXE directly from the main directory of my package instead of StartProxy.exe! And that means by using this extension you can also use @cmalex's ProxyMII if you prefer a pure proxy without any comfort. BTW, all that was done in 360Chrome in a few minutes.

Check the correct URL of the website which is supposed to use the local proxy! It should be example.com for testing and not *.example.com. But in the end, I don't understand the whole effort for just two websites. It would be easier to use a proxy extension to switch from the direct connection to the local proxy or vice versa whenever necessary.

Same works for Back 4 Blood: Ultimate Edition Build 14216215 (Zombie game).

That's exactly why I support the idea of MSFN, and actually the reason for all my efforts here. In my case, let Windows XP live forever or at least as long as possible.

I checked again all three extennsions. My favourite is Autoplay Whitelist. This one memorises all permitted websites in a whitelist.

What makes you think I didn't read it? It was a personal thought of a random Reddit poster, while I got you a >Solved< page explanation. "Spotify is not working under VPN. I'm getting 403 error. I'm using my work VPN and it's always been OK." https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/403-Error-when-using-VPN/m-p/5470802#M114786 How then you explain the same man not getting any errors with work VPN? I have a hunch it's related to the new fingerprinting techniques that are working differently with Thorium.

Here are 2 photos of my Shuttle Hot 433 board, with running full XP SP3 on it. I notice, that even from version 1...3 of this board, they have different IDE controllers, so you cant switch from one board to next with the same XP SP3 installation. This strange behavior I have never seen for any IDE controller before. Next step is to build an full Setup XP486.iso. I make a try, to overcome also there the crazy opcode cmpxchg8b and also the "Unknown Processor" hurdle. Any help is welcome, which files on the xp.iso have to be changed, for to kick out those checks. It is not so much difficult I think. My files without any cmpxchg8b are quite stable, anyway I will update them and I also make an english version Dietmar
