I appreciate the heads up. Luckily for me, I'm not affected.

Jody, friend, there's a huge improvement for us, Vista fanatics, a simply marvellous browser! Released recently. Two versions. Choose marked "Vista". 136 (non-portable) https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/136.0.7063.0 134 Portable, Ungoofed. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_134.0.6998.165 Made by a student from China, so I can't give any personal guarantees, you understand.

That's a question to post on GitHub, not in this thread. This is really just a "BS" thread that most of the Supermium userbase probably doesn't even "follow". YOUR fault as much as MINE. I'm MAN ENOUGH to share PARTIAL BLAME. Your EGO probably prevents you from doing the same. You have a God Complex, everybody should praise you. **NOT ME** FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. I've had ENOUGH of YOU over the YEARS. Yeah, it's THAT simple!

Members that are DISRESPECTFUL, don't read posts BEFORE posting, therefore resulting in pointless discussions, as often as you do, SHOULD BE BANNED. Pointless discussions = Spam. You still don't answer my inconvenient question about the real number of the engine in Supermium, Twitch problems went back as soon as the developer returned those flags to "normal" condition. But why would they? The version was allegedly bumped to 132, so they shouldn't be there. no? xD

Members that SOLICIT "followers" as often as you do SHOULD BE BANNED. Solicitation = Spam.

You again missed my post* and replied harshly, it resulted in a pointless discussion of what had been already discussed (about v.126). I reported about the same thing happening again in v.132 and Twitch. Why it happens, if this version is even *allegedly* newer - by the claims of the developer? 132 Chromium works fine with Twitch, with disabled experimental (default setting) features, so? What exactly you don't understand? You both still wanna say it's the real version 132? https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/page/123/#findComment-1279153 *This usually happens when members forget to hit "follow" button on my profile to stay in touch with my masterpieces.

It doesn't explain why there was a desperate need to enable those experimental, not yet implemented features, unless it's indeed the old version 122. 126 and 132 Chromium, both work fine with Twitch, with disabled experimental features, so?

Thorium got stuck at 122! Also a "coincidence". At the same time, they have Thorium 130 for Win10, so, why there's a problem to make it work under Vista? At the same time, a Chinese student releases already releases v.136, trouble free, working fine, tested by @D.Draker on lots of modern sites. Win32ss and Alexei (Thorium) simply can't keep up, let's face the reality with honesty.

Many companies these days observe what's going on with their PR on social media with the help of AI, so the theory is quite valid. Chrome devs look like the ones who would it. Example, Opera has embedded AI for several versions already. But like I wrote before, we have to wait, because 119 is still beta.

Thanks for the info! Too early to be sure though, since this one is still beta.

I have changed the title of my publication of ytBATCH for Windows XP. It is currently to be understood as a pre-release. My fork has moved further and further away from the original script and is becoming more and more independent. Therefore, I havel 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. Although I have made ytBATCH compatible with Windows XP, some things do not work. This is due to the fact that the algorithm in the original ytBATCH script was not quite correct or not really thought through and programmed to the end. The original script from eppic has the following shortcomings: The youtube-dl and yt-dlp downloaders are not considered and used separately. The download of subtitles can only work with yt-dlp, but not with youtube-dl. The script would not work with youtube-dl in general. The queue does not work at all. A globally defined variable causes problems in some cases. Various bugs in various places. Some actions are illogical or incomplete. This means that the original ytBATCH script only has limited functionality and won't work at its fullest on its targeted, higher OSes. I also have the feeling that eppic has given up its ytBATCH script in the meantime, as it has not been updated for three years. Updated on 29.3.2025: Today, I have found this on eppic's GitHub page: So, my feeling was correct. Nonetheless, eppic's script ensemble ytBATCH is great and worth developing further. In the meanwhile, I have already found the reasons for these issues listed above and was able to correct all of them. I have considerably changed the algorithm and modified or rewritten a lot of code. I also added new functions to make the script more informative and effective. Including a new window management and styling. Unfortunately, I can only test yt-dlp because @nicolaasjan's youtube-dl does not work with YouTube at the moment. However, the final release of ytBATCH for Windows XP will be prepared for the return of youtube-dl, whenever this will be. Cheers, AstroSkipper P.S.: Unfortunately, this all means that those using Windows XP on a computer with an SSE-only CPU will not be able to download video or audio files from YouTube using ytBATCH for Windows XP or other programmes also depending on youtube-dl at this time.

You could try one of the below (their .js files would need modified accordingly, easy to do if we know "what" you need in the Open With list) - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-with-switchbar/klgpknafjlhnpkppfbihchgfebbdcomd https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-in-openoffice/ioppgifkecchbmpobbkdkobildodihed https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-with-notepad++/hgfbigeomjlaahldcoilagphholnmhlc Or any of their "related" extensions. Note, just because they are "extensions", you don't have to use them as extensions, most are easily converted to userscripts.

Sounds as though it's worth checking out. Thanks @D.Draker

Just upgraded to R2. Look what happens to the tabs. I don't want to have to create a new profile each time (that was the way I was able to fix the tabs issue a week ago) Supermium Tabs Glitch

Yeah, perhaps. I really want to remain optimistic on Supermium + Widevine = Netflix. As of now, Supermium can be made to pass some Widevine tests, but NOT FOR NETFLIX. And NO, it has nothing to do with "old hardware" because I am using Brave v134 + Widevine and Netflix WORKS on even my **OLDEST** hardware.

The probable inability to make it work under old OS? I dunno, it's just my opinion. Do what yo want with it, but like I said before, and I reiterate, my face will only accept rotten tomatoes of British origin, and organic. Another "coincidence" is - 122 was the last version to work with the Extended Kernel, and we all know what powrprg is, right? It's the kernel to allow it to work under old OS. How about that?

I abandoned Thorium when it became very clear that there weren't going to be any more versions in the near future, if ever, which would run on XP. A version based on Chromium 122 doesn't really cut it any more. Why that decision seems to have been made I have no idea, but thank goodness that we still have Supermium!

Unfortunately, there are no legacy releases , especially for a Windows XP die hard fan like me : https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-legacy/releases

And to give you an impression of the state of development, here is a screenshot of the current Main Menu of ytBATCH for Windows XP: Of course, this is just a small insight into my project. The internal changes are much bigger and of course more important. However, I thought a little colour would make the DOS windows less boring. Frankly, this is all retro at its best. And @nicolaasjan, here you can see that I do not forget to give credits to creators for their work. This is a screenshot of the freshly created About ytBATCH for Windows XP window: When I look at my fork, I'm reminded wistfully of my old DOS days.

@nicolaasjan As part of my further development and testing of ytBATCH for Windows XP, I have also thoroughly tested your two releases youtube-dl and yt-dlp. As already reported, yt-dlp works great and can download video files and audio files easily from YouTube. Unfortunately, this is not the case with youtube-dl. Even with the very latest version 2025.3.26.0, I cannot download video or audio files from YouTube. I have tested this link as one of many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffcitRgiNDs Here are two screenshots, the first one with a successful download via yt-dlp and the second one with an unsuccessful download via youtube.dl: Is youtube-dl currently not working with YouTube? Or is there anything else to consider? Of course, I know that the development of youtube-dl had many problems in the past, but I thought it would work again. I really tried different links but none of them are working with youtube-dl. In a lot of cases, I even got the message 403 Forbidden. This is of course bad news especially for those using a computer with a SSE only CPU. Greetings, AstroSkipper

While testing my further developed fork ytBATCH for Windows XP, I also tried to use youtube-dl for downloading YouTube videos and audio files. Unfortunately, without success. Eppic, the author of ytBATCH, uses the same command line options for both downloaders youtube-dl and yt-dlp. That does not make any sense. The way of setting subtitles internally, for example, only works with yt-dlp, but not at all with youtube-dl. The command line options for subtitles are unfortunately different. youtube-dl uses the command line option --write-sub where in contrast yt-dlp uses the --write-subs option. Their negations are also different. Therefore, I have changed the script ensemble considerably and made the internal setting of flags, if different in both downloaders, dependent on the downloader that is currently active. The same applies to the youtube-dl.conf configuration file. Eppic uses one and the same file for both YouTube downloaders, although the command line options are by no means identical. This is not expedient. I therefore have now changed this too and assigned a separate configuration file to each downloader. Now, each of the downloaders can be assigned its command line options stored in its own configuration file. These are major changes to the script files, and the development and testing phase continues.

Menu bar items on hover when using themes I don't know if anyone has ever noticed the following display annoyance in Mypal 68. I recently started using a theme (containing a black cat. What else! ) in Mypal 68 and when I move my mouse over the menu entries, the respective entry is difficult to read and is not displayed correctly. Here is a screenshot when the default theme is enabled, and everything is fine: And now a screenshot when another theme such as my black cat theme is enabled: The Bookmarks entry is barely legible. Same with the entries File, Edit, View, History, Tools and Help. That's annoying. Therefore, I have created a small fix in form of a CSS stylesheet. Here is the code: menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"] { background-color: -moz-menuhover !important; color: -moz-menuhovertext !important; } And here is the result: Now, the inverted colour is displayed correctly again when hovering. Although a little blurred due to the activated theme (I think it is an overlay effect), it is much better to read than before. Save the code in a CSS file and import it to the userChrome.css file if you are affected too! Or simply download the file menubar-items-on-hover.css I uploaded to my file-hosting service! Edit: I checked this little blurred effect again and could fix it. Here is the new code: menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"] { background-color: -moz-menuhover !important; color: -moz-menuhovertext !important; text-shadow: none !important; } This is a screenshot when using the modified code above with my favourite theme: You see it looks now as it was when using the default theme. And here is the download link of the file menubar-items-on-hover.css containing the modified code: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ciprmjkzcgnzprz/menubar-items-on-hover.css/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

My Windows XP desktop computer is not permanently switched on. But my tablet is. This means that many daily tasks can be done immediately. But I generally prefer to surf with my old machine. I love the legacy browsers such as New Moon 28 and Serpent 52. And complex articles are written there, of course. But all that bloated Google stuff is ideal food for my tablet.

I think that in these times, where AI is being used more and more, anything is conceivable. Nowadays, even pupils and students have their papers or other essays written by an AI. Ultimately, however, every theory has to be proven, in whatever but correct way. Nevertheless, in today's times, I believe everything is possible. So, the question is not so easy to answer in a Boolean way as you stated. To do this, one would have to analyse the data collected by Google and the Chrome developers, which is not so easy for outsiders. Unless you are a genius hacker. Or, statements would have to be found somewhere that suggest that MSFN actually exerts such a great influence.

It's like @Cocodilesaid, one hell of a coincidence to be just a "speculation". How do you know about AI? Do you work with it? Yes, I agree with you, let's hope the Kamshersky gang don't show up here, without them we're having a nice, calm conversation. And I'm pretty sure @Cocodilewas joking about punishments, he will let you go free.

Agree, and it's a nice overclocker board too.

100% possible to make it work! This precise list of tested and working Win 98 boards includes that G41 chipset, like on Asus. https://msfn.org/board/topic/175820-modern-motherboards-working-with-windows-98-the-list/
