Windows Vista's Market Share was at 0.59% in july of 2019 however, it's market share is rapidly decreasing! It went from 0.59% in July to 0.42% in August and then to 0.33% in September. Two weeks later, it just sits at 0.31%. I hate to say this but.......... Windows Vista Is Doomed. i've tried to encourage people create Vista Vms on YouTube but with no luck. link to my youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJlntSljsta9FzC2YJeA0NA

Surprisingly, MBAE offered to update itself out the blue this morning. I accepted and the version below was installed. Seems to be running OK on Windows XP....

The average user is on Win 10 or gave up on desktops/notebooks altogether and just browses what'sapp mindlessly on his/her mobile, nowadays!

OT: while using win7 x64, I found win7's image viewer is unsatisfied for my usage, found a XP/2003 image viewer wrapper with source code, forked it and made 64bit build. original source: https://habr.com/en/post/437436/ my fork with 64bit build: https://github.com/roytam1/shimgvw-wrapper/releases/tag/r191003 (actually 2003's shimgvw.dll is better on displaying GIF images than XP's one)

After a quick test, it seems to actually be based on Chromium 65, rather than 72 unfortunately.

Indeed, and only the ESR versions of FF 52 have out-of-the-box support for all other NPAPI plugins. @siria 's tweak from above is needed to enable them in the "regular" 52. As for @Sfor's original question about UA spoofing, I used Custom User Agent String for a while, but ultimately got fed up with its IMHO inconvenient and error-prone UI for managing the UA strings. Since then I've been using UAControl in conjunction with User-Agent JS Fixer. which also spoofs the UA JavaSript sees. UAControl, being a XUL extension, should work well with FF 51 as well, should you need to continue using that version.

Thanks

I haven't been in the Win98 game for a little while now but I'm considering within the next week on getting parts from my previous main rig into a new case and install Win98 on it. Once I do that, I'll test out the new SSL protocol and report back with any findings I come up with.

I didn't even know there were over 60 NPAPI plug-ins!

Don't reset your existing profile, just make a temporary new clean one. You can easily revert back to your previous one when you've finished testing. The necessary dialogue is under "about:profiles". The site you mention seems to work absolutely fine here in FF 52.9. In fact the videos don't seem to be using Flash at all, they are using HTML5 video, which is what I would now expect. There's no evidence here that it's loading the Flash plugin at all.

For what it is worth, I installed Office update KB4475604 yesterday, before all your posts appeared. Outlook and other Office 2010 programs seem to run OK afterwards.

I updated my 7x64 Iso upto Dic/2017 just before all the debacle about Meltdown and Spectre, and installed the OS, since then I decided to stop updating the OS, since every update is full of telemetry and also very frecuently bugy, I have Avast Free AV, and run maybe once every 2 months the AV and also Malwarebytes Antimalware free, just to confirm the PC is clean, and I haven't got a single virus. So only updates on my PC are for FireFox, Avast and Antimalware. Now Win7 support is very close to end, I may update my Iso with the final last update, (cleaning as much telemetry as possible) and reinstall 7x64 and will use it as log as there are AV and browser available for it. So my OS do not grow at same rate as yours, it is using right now 21.5 GB from a 50 GB partition, System restore is deactivated, since I make periodicaly full images of each OS in the PC, documents, all games and majority of programs are installed on another partition, I have backups of all important info on external disks, the idea is keep to OS partition basicaly with only the OS, Office, AV and browser to get the smaller size when making an image of the OS partition. Also have 10x64 on another partition (it was done to get the free HWID register only, almost never used), and Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon x64 on a secondary disk, wich I have been testing for about 2 or 3 weeks now and so far found it is a good solid OS (and you get about twice or thrice a week small size updates) only issues are many games and Autocad do not run on Linux, but for anything else it is very fine.

Well I am not gonna lie to you.. It helps to not p*** me off. I am well aware of my flaws. I am also aware that the bulk of what you have experienced from me here has been negative. But as I alluded to that isn't the totality of reality. Posts like the last one I have been making for years and years on the Pale Moon forums. But like here, people do have a tendency to p*** me off when they don't listen or try to understand basic concepts. However, I am also still against there still not being branding and specifically still not happy that trunk and/or unreleased code that happens to exist is being distributed. Branding would be an instafix. I might even help you on occasion. I have been exploring this stuff for over 10 years and have been actively involved in stuff for over five years. I know a lot. AND I know something else.. As far as the applications in binoc-central are concerned... I can help you a lot more than what will ever be be permitted in the UXP repo. Here is what I am going to offer to you roytam1 et all: Formulate branding for Navigator and Mail (a large size png logo and a name) and start building following defacto release code and I will do the work upstream to implement the branding it plus his patches under the ifdef XP_WHISTLER. That way there is less of a burden downstream and maybe roytam1 can establish a more legit (in my eyes) thing. You will still have to use your modified UXP but you could start to use binoc-central as-is. BONUS: Do it for Pale Moon and Basilisk too and I will actually support your efforts to any XP Users and add you as non-aligned on thereisonlyxul.org. I will also teach and help you setup facilities like aus, the blocklist, etc. Allow me to reiterate: Branding and using release code rather than trunk code and you guys can rise and serve the Windows XP (and Vista I guess) Community in a way that has yet to be seen. You have this chance once again. I'd suggest you not squander the opportunity.

Apparently my assumptions were incorrect, and so is this thread's title. I searched through Chromium's commit history and found out only the option in chrome://flags was removed, the functionality is still intact and can be invoked using a command line parameter, see here. So one must add --disable-features=Windows10CustomTitlebar parameter to Chrome's shortcut properties, at the end of the Target field on the Shortcut tab. This method doesn't have any undesired side effects like running in compatibility mode has.

Cryptographic service disabled/corrupt? .cat files deleted? There can be other reasons... GL
