This thread is about @roytam1's browsers targeting legacy OSes. And that means even browsers under Windows 7 and Windows 8 as they are also legacy in the meanwhile. But I think @Zorba the Geek is looking for a solution under Windows XP.

Understood, but @Tripredacus was consulted on this occasion, and agreed that no further action was needed in this case. That will not always be the case of course.

StartAllBack 3.9.18

Oh yeah! That! (weird how you forget that this is meant to target XP, once you leave it behind. I'm more of the mindset that says, "Can it at least run on Windows 7 or 8", as that's a challenge now)

Yes. Install it from the Mozilla Add-ons page! For example the British English Dictionary (the only real English ): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/ Here is a screenshot taken from my Mypal 74.1.4 installation:

Of course it did make a couple of very generic, blog-style posts to distract attention from the advertising goal, who on MSFN would do such kind of empty topics? No PC specs, nothing! https://msfn.org/board/topic/186949-starting-fresh/ In the good old days @Tripredacus punished for this, maybe even banned, since the bot no longer appeared again. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182109-windows-vista-modernisation-guide/page/2/#findComment-1226962 So my point stands, sorry.

I haven't used these extensions for years. All modifications are done by me manually inside extensions themselves if they need to be fixed. And that means I am not interested in these two extensions at all. They are of no use to me.

What kind of processor do you have?

You know what, you're absoluteness right! Despite being on Millennium for a long time, I paid very little attention to the primitive operating systems before Vista, those were designed for office slaves to serve as a calculator. Son, we have different priorities in life, it's very obvious. For me, life is all about fun and entertainment, so I chose the only one really high quality media capable OS - Vista. Windows 7/8 took a huge step back in the quality, and Windows 11 is the icon of primitivism.

Unlike in your country Armenia, in France sellers are under certain obligations before the customers, for example: they can't refuse to serve basic needs items like soap, condoms, cosmetics, refrigerators, etc. As for the Chanel bags I was going to buy, unfortunately, they can because they belong to the luxury segment. So no, he can't put deadbolts because he registered as a seller and owns a website that he must maintain in accordance with the French laws. And if we speak about that site in particular, the laws of Quebec, which aren't that different because they are an off-spring from France.

Oh, I forgot to answer to the main question, The actual reason Windows 11 had failed is because @D.Draker purchased zero licences, whereas with Vista he bought dozens and dozens, maybe hundreds. Literally every PC I bought had Vista, and if we count the numerous gifts I made during that times, countless girlfriends were gifted with Vista computers, even my mother and father!

It all went downhill with the fisher price XP, I can't forget the terrible quality of everything in XP, it resampled all audio to the miserable 48Khz! Oh, and take the OS sound for example, LOUD bangs of system notifications made for deaf people. XP had acid icons and the UI made for BLIND people. Windows 11 reminds me of the acid XP colours,

DisplayPort, then?

I think it is well known by now that I am a fan of custom buttons. The last months, I created a couple of them for the UXP browsers as well for Mypal 68. Here is one of my latest creations:

Long story short. eBay websites (at least here in Germany) which worked fine some weeks or months ago must have recently changed, and their new layout is not pleasing. The page I quoted runs on my computer at 100% CPU utilisation in New Moon 28, Mypal 68 and even in Thorium. A short time ago, it was almost 0% after loading completely. That's a fact. I opened the same link I bookmarked weeks ago.

Unable to replicate. ebayimg.map doesn't show up in any of my logs even when visiting https://www.ebay.de/itm/186679189985 incognito. Perhaps, eBay is once again using German eBay customers as guinea pigs for layout experiments. Comparable to laboratory rats. The eBay websites have become worse and worse in recent years. It used to be much, much better.

This is the deactivated filter: ! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/25247 ! ||www.ebay.$removeparam=_trksid But enabling this filter could lead to the reported problem: "Add to Watchlist" does not work .Anyway! This must be created under My rules in uBO to clean up the link completely: ||www.ebay.$removeparam=_trksid ||www.ebay.$removeparam=itmprp ||www.ebay.$removeparam=itmmeta

Correct! I was not logged in at the time. The eBay link is in the format that you are offered as a simple guest. It actually only contains one real tracking component starting with _trksid, the other two are purely item related starting with itmprp (followed by a checksum) and itmmeta and are not normally filtered by tracking filters. The current URL tracking filter list inside uBO does not even clean _trksid, although it is included but not activated.

Thanks for your suggestion! I'll try it out later on my Windows XP computer. Since Stylus no longer works in Mypal 68, and Stylish is no longer installed in New Moon 28, I will try to inject the code into the eBay pages via the userContent.css file. No success. This does not do anything. The issue doesn't seem to be related to animations and transitions. Only when blocking ebayimg.map.fastly.net in uBO, the CPU utilisation becomes normal again. But then the page looks unusable like that:

Had to make a quick trip to the pharmacy. Just copied and pasted and bye-bye.

Just for clarification. I know how to prevent URL tracking parameters. But the two profiles I am currently using are actually for testing and developing in New Moon 28 and Mypal 68. Apart from uBO, there is no other protection. And even this content blocker is only configured slightly, as it is not of interest. I test JavaScript and CSS files in these profiles. Mainly things I have created myself. I had searched for something on eBay there weeks ago, and now these pages no longer work as before. No more, no less. Nevertheless, thanks for replying!

I just quoted the original link which worked much better some weeks ago. FYI, I always use uBlock Origin Legacy for filtering web content in New Moon 28. And in Mypal 68, uBlock Origin. And a few user scripts.

wmic.exe is a WMI command-line program. Maybe you have to set a path to where it is located in your system (path command). I have it twice in c:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\ and c:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\. Usually these paths already exist.

Hello heinoganda, thanks for your reply. I've got no update officially offered through Microsoft Update. Can you send me your german installer MSEInstall.exe or provide a download link? Thanks and regards
