Pale moon users on their forum report, that latest version of Pale Moon pass CloudFlare check. I tried latest NewMoon version (2025-03-14) and it works. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=260900#p260900 Yet they also report that Basilisk so far not passing CloudFlare check. Yet it was promised that CloudFlare will do that to, so let's hope they will. So if you New Moon user - no more need to use Supermium on CloudFlare protected sites like https://www.y2mate.com/en949.

Wow! And it's much newer, up-to-date with Google Chrome!!! Supermium is already old, despite being an Alpha release. Why would they release an almost half year old version?

Did I say that? I said: Look at the second screenshot under (Y)! This is the Preferences window, and there you can change the use of yt-dlp to youtube-dl. The latter is a YouTube downloader compatible with SSE only CPUs. When pressing the key Y and setting the value to youtube-dl, the youtube-dl.zip file will be automatically downloaded, unpacked and saved. Then, you can use it. And to finalize the SSE topic, the ffmpeg release from @Reino is also SSE compatible. So, there shouldn't really be any problems.

Pre-release of ytBATCH for Windows XP - A fork of ytBATCH by AstroSkipper ytBATCH is a YouTube video and music downloader script (actually rather a batch script ensemble) developed by eppic on GitHub: https://github.com/eppic/ytBATCH. Therefore, credits to eppic for his great work! Unfortunately, the original ytBATCH is not compatible with Windows XP as it uses more recent versions of youtube-dl and yt-dlp, and even failed to download any of these releases under Windows XP due to commands which do not work under this OS. Additionally, it needs ffmpeg which can't be downloaded any longer by this script, either. I changed and added a lot of code inside the batch files of this script ensemble to get it working under Windows XP. For this purpose, I implemented the use of youtube-dl and yt-dlp releases created by @nicolaasjan which will now automatically be downloaded by ytBATCH and updated when needed. At this point, logically credits to @nicolaasjan for his great releases! Furthermore, I implemented the last ffmpeg release in version 7.1-2362 created by @Reino which will now also automatically be downloaded by my ytBATCH fork. And therefore, credits to @Reino for his great releases! An updating of this version by ytBATCH is not needed as @Reino unfortunately abandoned creating XP-compatible ffmpeg releases. To make the download of these files by ytBATCH working again under Windows XP, I added the last XP-compatible version of wget to this package. Additionally, I inserted the 7-Zip command line tool in my package for unpacking the downloaded files. When starting the original ytBATCH script, another issue happens under Windows XP. The script needs the DOS command CHOICE which is not part of ytBATCH and doesn't exist under Windows XP by default. At least, it is the case on my Windows XP installation. Therefore, I added the choice.com file to this package. All in all, I changed many different things but now, ytBATCH is working fine under Windows XP. The advantages of ytBATCH are the low consumption of resources, the high download speed, the custom settings such as preselecting the video and audio formats, their quality, the download of subtitles, the embedding of metadata and thumbnails and so on, and most notably the possibility of adding command line options to youtube-dl or yt-dlp which all can be saved inside ytBATCH. I personally love this script ensemble which can be modified to the needs of the users at any time since batch scripts are fully editable. I rebranded my fork of ytBATCH and called it ytBATCH for Windows XP. Most probably, it will also run under other OSes like Windows Vista or Windows 7 but I didn't test it. The current version of my fork is based on the latest ytBATCH version 2.9.2. Here are some screenshots: And here is the download link for the pre-release of ytBATCH for Windows XP 1.0 (aka 2.9.2): https://www.mediafire.com/file/6c9hfkfpiwextf0/ytBATCH_for_Windows_XP_2.9.2.7z/file The use of ytBATCH for Windows XP is actually self-explanatory and well documented on ytBATCH's homepage: https://github.com/eppic/ytBATCH. Extract the downloaded archive file to a location of your choice and start the ytBATCH.bat file located in the main folder. A prompt appears asking to install ytBATCH. You can now either install ytBATCH to AppData and generate a shortcut or keep ytBATCH as a portable programme. I personally prefer the latter. The download of all necessary files will then automatically start. All files will be unpacked and saved in a freshly created exe subfolder. I have to mention at this point that the user of such scripts should not only be able to click with the mouse. This script is mainly controlled by the keyboard. Solely the YouTube link to be downloaded can also be inserted using the mouse. My recommendation is to check all options inside this script by pressing corresponding keys to set it optimally. I did that, and it works simply great, especially on my old, weak computer. To make even better use of it, you should be a bit familiar with youtube-dl and yt-dlp. The latter is documented in detail on its homepage https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp. Any opinions, questions or experiences on my fork are of course welcome here in my thread. If you encounter any issues with my fork, please post it only here and not on GitHub! This fork is unofficial and not supported on GitHub. In any case, I hope ytBATCH for Windows XP can be useful for YouTube users under Windows XP. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper P.S.1: If ytBATCH should be updated on GitHub at some point (the last update was in June of 2022), you are well advised not to perform such an update, as otherwise all my changes would be overwritten, and ytBATCH for Windows XP would become non-functional under Windows XP. To be honest, there is no reason for such an update under Windows XP. Maybe, I will deactivate this function in ytBATCH for Windows XP in general in a further release. P.S.2: I have changed the version number assignment. Consider my pre-release ytBATCH for Windows XP 2.9.2 as version 1.0! This means: ytBATCH for Windows XP 2.9.2 = ytBATCH for Windows XP 1.0.

A very interesting investigation, no less than the French investigation into Musk! I'd want to add, Win 7 also creates that crappy "logic" partition on your additional HDD installed in the computer at the time of the installation, Unlike XP and Vista.

Who cares? It's several years old. Let them patch their head with their "security" updates.

Nothing is "personal", I can download without logging in, It's your Russia IP blocked by Cloudflare. Proof:

Cool. But this *CAN NOT* be the same *COMPLAINT* that the dark mode users have been *COMPLAINING* about here at MSFN because *NOBODY* has said *ANYTHING* about #native-ui-style OR context menus. Q. E. D. We're just keep throwing noodles at the wall until one of them finally sticks. ie, changing the story along the way until we finally have a "detail" that *matches* and then claiming that was the "detail" being cited all along (but we all know better).

My Windows XP computer is equipped with a single core Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8 GHz CPU and no problems here. As long as the computer is able to download files from YouTube, it should work. If your CPU is only equipped with the SSE instructions set, you should use youtube-dl instead of yt-dlp. This can be set under Preferences. Watching YouTube videos is another matter, but ytBATCH for Windows XP has nothing to do with that.

Thanks. Yes it opens up on 7 without SP1! I tried 1 extension, it worked. Need to test more extensively. EDIT. NO odd brightness issues like in Supermium, no icons issues,

No. But no unnecessary security bullying when I use self-modified or unsigned extensions or themes. I don't need such Mozilla checks. They don't exist in New Moon, either. So in my case, I prefer to get rid of them. However, for the normal user, such security checks are completely ok and in certain cases even sensible.

Security by obscurity?

Even more important would be applying relevant security fixes from Mozilla (like Moonchild does), otherwise using this browser is Russian Roulette.

Since the Firefox root certificate expiration on March 14, the addon tab now looks like this : (at least I think that is the cause) Manually downloading updated versions and dragging them into this tab still works. @feodor2 Could Mypal be compiled with the new certificates? Are the relevant certificates here in the source tree of Mypal? The `addons-public.crt` in there says this: Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 1 (0x1) Signature Algorithm: sha384WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C = US, O = Mozilla Corporation, OU = Mozilla AMO Production Signing Service, CN = root-ca-production-amo Validity Not Before: Mar 17 22:53:57 2015 GMT Not After : Mar 14 22:53:57 2025 GMT Subject: C = US, O = Mozilla Corporation, OU = Mozilla AMO Production Signing Service, CN = root-ca-production-amo Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption Public-Key: (4096 bit) ---<snip>--- Can be checked with openssl like this: openssl x509 -in addons-public.crt -inform DER -text BTW, current Firefox certificates are in .pem format and are located in `./security/manager/ssl`. Could the relevant ones be put in the source tree of Mypal and recompile? They may have to be converted to .crt: Windows .bat file to do that for all .pem files in current directory: @echo off for %%i in (*.pem) do ( openssl x509 -outform der -in "%%i" -out "%%~ni.crt" ) Mozilla's current `addons-public.crt` will then be valid until Dec. 3 2200.

I now use Googel "safe" DNS. I'll maybe change them later, but for now stick with them. And it wouldn't explain why browser works, and IDM is blocked. Slowly but surely, we need to bankrupt Musk by refusing his goods like X. I once bankrupted a chain of electronics in my region, I simply stopped purchasing there, and I purchased a lot! Also, while they were still alive, I over-abused the free cellophane bags they gave out, I took them in tonnes, they had to spend a lot to resupply them, and they are taxed here high (eco tax). So, take your pick on how to bankrupt Musk.

Do you know what is stored on that astonishing 500mb? Log files on you?

Thanks, is there any normal Chrome that work on 7 without SP1?

I wrote chrome.dll CRC check, NOT "system files", friend, you make things up as you go,

In my case, the problem is with allegro.pl. I lost you! So you're not from Poland? Are you from United States of Armenia, then?

Then, try for example the Auto Tab Discard extension! However, not the most recent version but the older one 0.5.0. When it comes to uc.js scripts or extensions for use in Mypal 68, it is very often better to use older versions (according to the era) due to compatibility issues. Here is the download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3889015/auto_tab_discard-0.5.0.xpi Even this version shows some warnings in the Browser Console as there are features in the extension's manifest which Mypal 68 doesn't support. But this version is nevertheless fully working in Mypal 68.

I can't say if these extensions I found do their job correctly in modern browser. This thread is about Mypal 68 which of course isn't a modern browser. It is more an old browser modified to be a bit more recent, especially its JavaScript engine. So, do you look for such an extension targeting Mypal 68?

Besides rebasing several DLL files and triggering the internal memory minimisation feature, there is a third option to reduce RAM consumption in Mypal 68 called discarding tabs. Tabs, which have been loaded but not used at the moment, can be successfully discarded in multiprocess mode without disappearing in the tab bar. If it is done correctly, these tabs do no longer occupy any RAM. I found a uc.js script and a few extensions which could satisfactorily fulfill this job.

BTW, I reorganised the chrome subfolder inside my Mypal 68 profile folder. From now on, all my uc.js script files are located in a subfolder called "Scripts" such as all css files have already been stored in a subfolder called "CSS". If someone is interested how that can be done, just ask here.

The download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z from my first post is actually working as it should. But I found in one file unnecessary code which was implemented by the original creator for enabling pre-Lion fullscreen mode mode under macOS. However, this code inside the file userChrome.js spits out an error in the Browser Console under Windows XP, which I could fix in two different ways. The most simple one is to remove this code since Mypal 68 targets the Windows OSes. The other one is to add some missing code which I also did just for fun. But as I already said, this is actually nonsense. Anyway! Here is the error when using the original userChrome.js file: And here is a screenshot after removing code from the original userChrome.js file and restarting the browser: You can see the message "ReferenceError: XPCOMUtils is not defined" has gone. After some weeks of testing, I can confirm that all is working perfectly. If you are interested in and want to also do the fix manually, then you can do it as follows: Old content of the userChrome.js file: // Copyright (c) 2017 Haggai Nuchi // Available for use under the MIT License: // https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT // Set "useLionFullScreen" in the same way that it's done in // chrome://browser/content/browser-fullScreenAndPointerLock.js XPCOMUtils.defineLazyGetter(FullScreen, "useLionFullScreen", function() { return false; }); New content of the userChrome.js file: // Copyright (c) 2017 Haggai Nuchi // Available for use under the MIT License: // https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT Additionally, I will update the MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z package as soon as possible.
