well, I'm back home, so I can answer u tenet by tenet what got reboot.pro shutdown, lack of funds for hosting? you are quite right Would it help to revive it? this is Virgus's idea, which I totally espouse, and I guess u would as well - virgus calculated that if 10 of us contributed €10, that would make €100. there is only one problem, nuno, the keymaster of reboot.pro, is unreachable. we lost track of him and the site masters probably don't feel authorized to let us know how he can be contacted, if I have understood correctly, but I guess Virgus could be more specific about it. or should we perhaps use this as the replacement? This is my idea for the time being, but I haven't gotten so much feedback as I used to on reboot.pro. JFX's answers are slow but sure, though. "great space gains can be obtained in shrinking the following folders: winsxs, driverstore, and some other ones as well." Curious how to shrink those, can it be done with a batch file? some bits can, while others can't. be ready for a plethora of instructions on the matter. I'm all for a tinyOS, I think a guy on the archive got a winPE of win7 to 65mb, winPE is the inspirational software for what we r doing, but I guess we basically do it the other way round. one could also go about adding things to winPE, whereas we tend to subtract things from an os. winPE is not an os proper, and does not keep any settings across reboots. I know ntlite has ways of deleting winsxs but it costs money. no need for ntlite or similar stuff. jfx's winntsetup, which can be downloaded here does most of the job. check it out and go to the tweaks section which shows a sample.ini where he commented out some appx to be kept; I took out all the semicolons I found in front of those appx because I do not need any of them (this concerns the 3rd section of the file, as the first 2 should be left as they are. In liew of ntlite, chris titus has offered his winutil.ps1 which, among other things, has a microwin function that does about the same, the only drawback being it does not take wims or esds, only isos with wims or esds within them. A guy tried to slim to down windows and make a win10to7 project but he got crucified in the comments so he stopped it: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/project-10to7-slimming-down-debloating-windows-10.76459/ Virgus would find this interesting I know strelec who made a winPE, has unique ways of making his images on the smaller side, for example net framework is only extracted and added to the ramdrive if a program calls for it. we do something similar, but our net framework and vc++ are phisically on d:\ (the physical c:\ hosting the vhd) and logically junctioned back into c:\ (the vhd), just in case a program calls for it.

Where did I claim that it always works? First of all, it works for me on my Windows XP computer (real installation on a hard disk with time-period correct, old hardware, i.e. no virtualisation). And that means that it can basically work. No more and no less.

Same here in New Moon 28. But it works in Mypal 68.

Thank you! Do you know how to turn off the highlighting of inactive tabs when I hover over them?

@Mark-XP, did my 347 driver suggestion help? Need further assistance?

Blaukovitch inserts a unique identifier to its ported Chrome. What for? What Russia structures Blaukovitch really works for? Blaukovitch had removed the standard X-Client-Data filed on HTML response header form and changed to F**KYOUGOOGLE X-Client-Data, what it is. https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20200205-google-chrome-x-client-data/ More info on the matter. "When a browser wishes to fetch a web page from a server, it sends an HTTP request for that page, a request that contains a set of headers, which are key-value pairs separated by colons. These headers describe data relevant to the request. For example, sending the header accept: text/html tells the browser what media types it will accept. For years, since 2012 at least, Chrome has sent a header called X-client-data, formerly known as X-chrome-variations" https://www.theregister.com/2020/02/05/google_chrome_id_numbers/

Which version of the Chrome XP API Adapter do you use for Thorium? The most recent one is 1.2.0.5057.

My Thorium installation and configuration is very stable under Windows XP. I use the SSE2 edition which seems to be suitable to my Pentium 4 CPU with SSE2 instruction set at maximum. No browser or tab crashes, no problems with my USB hard disk which is currently connected. At the moment, I am writing this comment from Thorium on my XP machine.

@chermany4ever You can't configure much in Thorium's Settings to improve its performance and running behaviour under Windows XP. What I actually meant was to change other things like updating the Chrome XP API Adapter, disabling animations and media autoplay, using a mobile user agent, setting suitable internal and external flags and so on. I did that, and now, this browser is running much better than before. PS: Also very important is a well-configured content blocker. Yesterday, I had to buy some articles on Amazon. Among other browsers, I also tested this website in Thorium. If uBlock Origin is not well-configured, the Amazon website does not load that fluently as it should. At the moment, I use uBlock Origin Lite as it consumes far fewer resources in Thorium and seems to be better suited to this browser.
