This is not a problem (only) with legacy browsers. It is also related to the use of tweaks that reduce the ID'ing of one's browsing behavior, even in the newest versions of FF and derivatives. I haven't used legacy browsers (other than icecat, if you can call that legacy) for over six months. And yet, I get annoying cloudfare BS all the time. I blame those who use cloudfare, or similar s*** to "secure" their sites. Do your homework. Make safe your castle on your own. Do not rent knights for hire to do so.

as upstream moved to vc2013-unfriendly environment, no new changes can be applied to NM27 and its friends. incoming patches are still welcomed.

@sparty411 Are you sure about your specifications regarding your internet speed? The unit mb/s does not actually exist. You wrote 300 mb/s. Did you really mean 300 MB/s or perhaps 300 Mbit/s? If you really had a speed of 300 MB/s, then that would be a line with 2400 Mbit/s, which I have never heard of existing for a normal citizen. At least here in Germany. I assume you rather meant 300 Mbit/s (Mbps in English, and very rarely can also found the unit Mb/s).

@Dave-H Just for fun, I tried to open the website https://chi.uk2.net/ in 360Chrome 13.5 Build 1030 Redux. I got no green padlock and the hint the connection is not secure when connected in both ways, directly or via ProxHTTPSProxy. I then closed the proxy, deleted all certificates stored in ProxHTTPSProxy's Certs folder and performed an update of the cacert.pem file. I then started the proxy and called up the website https://chi.uk2.net/ again. Now, the connection is reported as secure with a green padlock. Here is a screenshot: I don't know why your credentials are no longer filled in automatically when connected directly but I assume it is certificate related due to the age of 360Chrome. In any case, you should not forget to maintain your ProxHTTPSProxy installation in terms of its certificates, i.e, purging the Certs folder and executing the cacert Updater from time to time.

Just an idea. Have you already patched and removed the limit on TCP connection attempts in the tcpip.sys file in your Windows XP installation? And don't forget to adjust your MTU and RWIN values as Windows XP does not do it automatically! This can be easily done, for example, with the tool SpeedGuide.net TCP Optimizer, currently in the version 4.1.1. The correct MTU value mainly depends on your internet provider and can even be determined with the SG TCP Optimizer tool in the corresponding tab. A suitable RWIN value can also be manually calculated and set in the registry, of course. All values should be then tested to find the optimal ones. In any case, be aware that such fast connection speeds as you are using today didn't exist when Windows XP was developed and still maintained. TBH, I don't know whether Windows XP with its very old network drivers is at all able to handle such high speed you mentioned above. The old Internet tariff I booked years ago has a speed of 25 Mbit/s only, which I can achieve in full on my Windows XP computer, but only with optimal settings mentioned above. However, my old processor wouldn't be able to cope with any more, either. And regarding the QoS Packet Scheduler, I deactivated it from the very first on my standalone Windows XP desktop computer long, long time ago.

Update notification! Malware Hunter has been again updated on 08.07.2024 and is now available in version 1.186.0.808. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I will update my article as soon as I can confirm its XP-compatibility. Cheers, AstroSkipper

If you don't have or use an old, weak computer, for example, with a Pentium 3 or 4 CPU, you can't say anything here. The OP has an even older CPU than me. It's a Pentium 3 733 MHz SSE only. Therefore, your observations and assessments are not relevant and unfortunately missing the point. On my old machine with a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, the Google Search works much faster when using a moblie user agent. And I only refer to the output in the browser. The performance on Google servers are of no interest and has nothing to do with the mobile user agent of the requesting browser. BTW, the difference in speed with or without using a moblie user agent is much more noticeable in Thorium on my computer. But you can only check my statements if you own a comparably old computer.

Most likely it depends on the outer box maker. I use this Philips on the image below, it does power down with other USB tools, including Vista's built in, but you wouldn't know, would you? Somewhere in 2006-2007 Philips launches the World's First 1TB External HDD, I bought several ones at once, some of them where upgraded to another HDD sizes, like 2TB, but the boxes are the same, made by Philips, all aluminium.

For those who have missed, "Zentimo xStorage Manager" is a re-branded "USB Safely Remove" from XP days, both made by Crystal Rich Ltd, 194356, Russian Federation, Saint Petersburg, Kompozitorov 4-132. It even has an absolutely identical UI! Now, I wonder, why would they go with a new name? In any case, third party tools may heavily compromise security of Windows, especially when there's a simple way built in modern Windows, starting with Vista.

Hi, bookie32, actually there should be "Safely Remove Hardware" icon on the taskbar with a dedicated USB icon. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/safely-remove-hardware-in-windows-1ee6677d-4e6c-4359-efca-fd44b9cec369

I'm sorry, I can't say whether he was German or not, it might be seen as PM leaks. But he seemed like a nice fella. And yes, I agree with you, less rumours is always better, people need their privacy. Again, I'm very glad you're with us and share your knowledge!

Oh, that explains it then! Government is a political organisation, therefore - the member's postings, and even the account presence, are violating the forum rules.
