I think the phrase you intended is "the end is nigh" (sort of archaic English - even native speakers may not be familiar with it) It's fine to post Serpent bug reports here, and this is the correct place for them. It's just that we have no answer for you yet. For the most part, @roytam1 is mainly taking browsers written for Win 7 and making them work with Win XP and Vista. "Upstream" for Serpent is @basilisk-dev, but even he is "downstream" from the UXP project, the browser engine behind Serpent, Basilisk, New Moon 28, Pale Moon, IceApe and others. For what you're asking for, you probably need a UXP fix, which would have to come from Moonchild's team. Moonchild has made it abundantly clear that users of @roytam1's builds are unwelcome in his forums. So to even report the problem, you'd need to: Get your hands on a Win 7 or greater system Reproduce the problem with the latest version of Pale Moon on that system Report the problem on the Pale Moon forum, making no mention of @roytam1, New Moon, Serpent, Win XP, or Vista Be patient because yours is only one of scores of Internet compatibility problems created by the Google/Microsoft/Mozilla goalpost-moving triopoly (and probably not the biggest one).

I thought it was before the flags got applied, because those surely look like the telemetry (stats) is in full swing.

BTW, I already posted my Thorium registry entries here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/186133-thorium/?do=findComment&comment=1267362

Hi, Steve! Am I the only one to think it might be suspicious to post commercial websites right after registration?

Those modern boards have a lot of fuses, more likely a fuse gone kaput.

As "downstream", i.e. @roytam1, does not intend to solve this problem in Serpent as he already stated, you will inevitably have to wait until "upstream", i.e. @basilisk-dev, offers a fix. Or, you can do what I always do when a page in New Moon 28 doesn't work on Windows XP. Try the site in question under Mypal 68, and if that doesn't help, under a Chromium Win XP port like 360Chrome or Thorium! BTW, you simply cannot expect that everything you want to call up in a browser will work in Serpent. This will never be the case.

Go with Vista, then, like you wrote in the beginning. No one these days will specifically target Vista. Install May 14, 2019—KB4499180 (Security-only update) (6003 build) it includes the most important security breach fixes and the ability to use the extended kernel, if you ever wish to try it. Install nothing else since all is already included in that pack! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/may-14-2019-kb4499180-security-only-update-081acd25-afa4-fb15-2dc1-fefcece4325a

Too sophisticated, unless you're a really high ranked government official. Besides, I'm not aware of such cases in real life scenarios.

I will check my registry entries when I am back at my desktop computer. Thanks for the heads up!

TBH, I don't think that any website operator is still interested in compatibility problems of an unsupported and rather unknown browser like Serpent on an operating system like Windows XP that has not been supported for a long time. So don't expect an answer or support!

@AstroSkipper, speaking of the registry entries, are yours the same? I mean, when you applied the anti-metrics flags. Thanks.

Good! In this case we (at least) know who will read through our communications! That VPN is supposedly aimed to use SHA 2, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA), NSA are the good guys, I don't mind them reading my emails, I don't plot against America.

And that's up from 71% a year ago What would be more interesting to know is "why"?

Be very patient, it may take years.

(offtopic) In at least one country Windows XP is still the dominant OS according to Statcounter: Armenia.

... Let me remind readers of this thread that the actual issue discussed here has been already reported to UXP-"upstream" (i.e. MCP: Moonchild Productions) by @UCyborg some three weeks ago: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&p=251950&sid=14291391b8552d3afe8f153cf401c56c#p251950 but. as you can probably see for yourselves , nothing has even budged there so far ...

Updated

Did you measure their capacitance? New ones doesn't mean good, there's a lot of fakes on the market. I recent;y purchased Samhwa, I was under the impression no one will ever make fakes of such crap. In the end, Samhwa is a terrible brand, They failed within a month.

"Upstream" is the 'official' version by the 'official' developer. That 'official' developer abandoned XP. So the versions you download in this thread are the 'downstream developer' (Roytam1/Feodor2/etc) efforts to restore XP-compatibility to a browser that would not otherwise work in XP.

Unfortunately, no. It doesn't work properly on my system.

You're welcome! Personally, I prefer the portable version: https://github.com/smplayer-dev/smplayer/releases/download/v24.5.0/smplayer-portable-24.5.0.0-win32-qt5.6.7z But once again. The outer shell, SMPlayer, has been updated again and again, but neither mplayer nor mpv, i.e. the heart of the SMPlayer. Simply put, it's great on the outside, but a bit of a bummer on the inside. This is the real problem for Windows XP users.

It's kind of an "infinite loop" argument, if you ask me. You are correct that no reports exist for official v115. But how much of that is because official v115 does not work on hardware where floppy disks even exist? I've never witnessed this when I did have hardware that did have a floppy disk. I no longer have that hardware. I also no longer run XP (nor do you). What we need, if we truly want accuracy and not heresay, is somebody that has XP and a floppy drive. I did not witness this "bug" when I did have a floppy drive. I fear neither one of us is doing the "argument" ANY justice. So to me, we both win. And we both lose. That's the best I can do for you, lol. Though now I'm kind of curious, would an external DVD Burner have this same "bug"? I do have an external USB-driven DVD Burner.
