Is a form of LED, VERY bright!!! It compensates the poor colours with insane brightness. Pros don't use it. Now the riddle is over. They are generally for folks on tight budget. "OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays use individual pixels that emit their own light, allowing for better contrast and true blacks, while LED (Light Emitting Diode) displays use a backlight to illuminate pixels, which can result in less contrast. OLEDs generally offer superior picture quality, but LED displays are often brighter and more affordable." Basically, their contrast is TOO high. But visually looks "better", but it's an illusion, Auto-generated based on listed sources.

On github, it doesn't say the fix related only to dark mode.

I already modified my fork ytBATCH for Windows XP. I added new entries to the main window, removed the autoupdate function of ytBATCH completely, changed the update function for ytBATCH to a simple version check one and removed all superfluous code. Now, it is no longer possible to accidentally update ytBATCH, which would only render my fork non-functional. At the moment, the batch script ensemble is again in test mode.

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.

https://msfn.org/board/topic/186741-firefox-and-chromium-running-on-windows-7-by-e3kskskoy7wqk/?do=findComment&comment=1278904 They quit making CCFL around 2007, around 18 years ago, so yeah it's LED. you said it's "less than 10 y.o." Shades of white and proper shadows are only visible on a good, properly calibrated, expensive LED, which is LESS than 5, not "less than 10 years old" like yours, but then again, I don't blame you, it's just strange why at least 5 people here see that, and you don't.

"piercing white" and "acid blue" all come from the overall increased brightness and digital vibrance, is the word overblown clear to you? That's what Supermium has in terms of colours. But it can be not so noticeable on e-waste, 10 years old LED monitors. LED is designed to be used for no more than 3-5 years, they awfully degrade overtime, much faster than CCFL and irreversibly kill your retina, so the fact you finally opened up about having a near 10 y.o. LED display is even worse than the alleged 20 years old Dell 2407. On one hand, it possibly took a lot of courage to admit about having such a monitor, on the other - a bit shallow, considering the fact you knew there's a "crew" watching, lol.

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.

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.

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.

Don't listen to unproven Conspiracy Theories. Totally disconnect yourself from the internet, disable your network card, you name it. *IF* this Conspiracy Theory were true, then a TOTALLY UNCONNECTED browser would pile these up left and right "because they were not successfuly sent".

Same here, I only ever have one of them. If you clear your cache at exit, this file deletes itself at the next launch, but recreates if that session remains open for a certain amount of time.

Strange, my Supermium 126 BrowserMetrics folders, on 32 bit (XP) and 64 bit (10) only contain one file. That file is replaced every time I run the browser, but there's only ever one of them.

Not me! Please stop "judging" my socio-economic class. I may not live in a "tourist attraction", but I could if I "wanted" to!

Only one English language is proper, the one they speak in England, everything else is a dialect. Removing letters from words or saying elevator instead of lift doesn't make it another, standalone language, ir's still a dialect, and a very odd one. Not to mention rather new. I don't "insist" on anything, I just assumed it'd be more convenient to use normal, not upside down dates and normal. internationally recognised spelling. It's your choice if you don't want to. Then don't whine when we spot you over a mile on github or anywhere else. Look how your favourite Supermium author spells, or the iconic @AstroSkipper, Dave and my dear friend @Jody Thornton. BTW, just so you know, on joint NATO missions, we all communicated in English-English, not the American dialect.

Fair enough, THAT I can agree to (we knew the INACTIVE tab bar changed). It's still a gigantic PITFA that the complaints about brightness have never actually been precisely pinpointed and I spent hours upon hours hunting through RGB .css declarations and could not find ANY color differences! NONE! NOBODY said to look at the context menu! So I do not believe for one second that the original "complaint" was a context menu! Not for one second. I tried and tried to "help" but the story kept changing as to "where" this "brightness" is located! One day was complaints about "piercing white". The next day it was complaints about "acid blue". Seriously, from this side of things, the story kept changing!

That's why I do not get any security warnings when opening the Add-ons Manager :

Starting September the 12th, foreign services will cease operating in Russia due to U.S. Treasury sanctions prohibiting the supply of software and IT services to anyone in Russia. If someone still thinks to supply software to a Russian/ Russian citizen, or consultant with the software usage, etc, be warned. "SOFTWARE AND IT-RELATED SERVICES PROHIBITIONS In coordination with the U.S. Department of Commerce and in line with G7 efforts to disrupt the Russian military-industrial base’s reliance on foreign IT systems, Treasury has taken steps to restrict the Russian military-industrial base’s access to certain software and IT-related services. To implement this policy, Treasury, in consultation with the Department of State, has issued a new determination under Executive Order (E.O.) 14071, which prohibits the supply to any person in the Russian Federation of (1) IT consultancy and design services; and (2) IT support services and cloud-based services for enterprise management software and design and manufacturing software. The determination will take effect on September 12, 2024. " More info at home.treasury.gov. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2404

In English, (if we are to assume you're from US, as your flag claims), it'd be "you yourself haven't voted", now you owe me 50 bucks for the English lesson, it's about 5000 in Russian Rublies.

What about my "views", and how do they matter? MSFN members from the US can't supply Russians with any form of software or IT services, starting from the 12th of September, what is so hard to understand?

What the US Treasury does is out of our European scope, hence the word "think", meaning we, (INTERNATIONAL members), can't influence the US treasury decision. You too need to accept it as a fact. The reason for this topic is obvious. Oh, and I kinda suspect why you don't vote.
