Bk52 (the browser, as test application) was initially built by upstream on top of a fork of the Mozilla ESR 52.6.0 platform code; the derived platform is named UXP. Since then, both the original official Basilisk 52.9.x upstream project as well as roytam1's Serpent 52.9.0 fork have significantly diverged from that starting point, but have also diverged significantly between each other, too... IMHO, stating that Serpent 52 is "based on FF52 code" is no longer descriptive of the current situation... Bk55 (the browser, as test application) was initially built by upstream (Moonchild Productions) on top of a forked Mozilla Nightly 53.0a1 snapshot platform code, with very few 54.x and 55.x code elements merged in; the platform that was produced was named Moebius; the app (browser) built on top of it was named Basilisk and was given an app version of 55.x.x, for (if you ask me) sensationalistic reasons ; much of the initial Moebius code, hence, can be described as a pre-53 Firefox snapshot... Serpent 55 by roytam1 was forked off Bk55/Moebius; that upstream project was abandoned in favour of UXP (and Bk52/UXP); since then, St55 is being infrequently maintained as a code melting pot, merging bits of various other upstream projects (e.g. UXP, tenfourfox, Mozilla and even code from IceWeasel 53.x). TL;DR: Current Serpent 55.0.0 has extremely limited affiliation, codewise, with stable Firefox 55.0

I wouldn't go quite that far. If you were Tim Cook you wouldn't be in pursuit of patching an OS from 2007, you'd be too preoccupied depreciating one from 2017 Fair enough, I didn't take into account the x86/x64 subsystems. It's easy to forget x64 NT 6.x is like 2 OSes.

... which, sadly, removes support for Pale Moon 27 based forks, like @roytam1's New Moon 27.x.x (whose sse builds are very popular with our members running pre-SSE2 CPUs): https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/pull/239#issuecomment-651090892 https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/blob/3524cbc34b30d9555eb7e9089aa4a5ea91465741/platform/firefox/install.rdf#L47-L54 https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/commit/990daae

NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender Library of missing functions for Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 NTOSKRNL.EXE Project is intended to help in porting drivers from Windows 7/8/8.1/10 for work with Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 How-To: Compile sources to make ntoskrn8.sys Make corrections to target driver XXX.sys so that it loads ntoskrn8.sys instead of the original ntoskrnl.exe If XXX.sys is driver made for Windows 8, change security_cookie to random value, security_cookie is constant 0x4EE640BB(x32) / 0x32A2DF2D992B(x64) inside file, change only first match ! Place ntoskrn8.sys to X:/Windows/system32/drivers/ folder Compiling: 1) Install Windows 7 DDK v7.1.0 (download from Microsoft site) 1a) Original DDK header files has mistake with definintion of MmAllocateContiguousMemorySpecifyCacheNode, apply fix to two files \WinDDK\Win7\inc\ddk\ntddk.h and \WinDDK\Win7\inc\ddk\wdm.h: replace: #if (NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN2K) typedef ULONG NODE_REQUIREMENT; to: #if (NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_VISTA) typedef ULONG NODE_REQUIREMENT; 2) Download project files to any local folder git clone https://github.com/MovAX0xDEAD/NTOSKRNL_Emu 3) Choose Target OS (XP, 2003, Vista or WIndows 7) for which OS Emu_Extender will be compiled. Keep in mind that depending on the target operating system the way of exporting the functions changes, if a function already exists in the kernel it will be simply redirected without injecting emulation code 4) Run shell: "Start Menu\Programs\Windows Driver Kits\Win7 7600.16385.1\Build Environments\Windows XXX\YYY Free Build Environment" (XXX - target OS, YYY - target CPU) 5) In shell change current directory to local project folder 6) Use shell command BLD to compile project 7) Compiled ntoskrn8.sys will be in ntoskrn8/objfre_XXX_x86/YYY folder STORPORT Windows 7 Emu_Extender This is Library of missing functions for Windows 7' STORPORT.SYS v6.1.7601.23403 to emulate Windows 8' STORPORT.SYS How-To: Compile ntoskrnl Emu_Extender Place storpor8.sys to X:/Windows/system32/drivers/ folder Make corrections to target xxx.sys so that it loads storpor8.sys instead of the original storport.sys Place backported storport.sys from Windows 7 to X:/Windows/system32/drivers/ folder Ported drivers: Windows 7's WDF 1.11 for Windows XP/2003 x32 Last version for Windows XP/2003 is 1.9, but possible to backport 1.11 version: 1) Get files from Windows 7 Updates (KB3125574): WDF01000.SYS v 1.11.9200.20755 WdfLdr.sys v 1.11.9200.16384 2) In WDF01000.SYS replace string ntoskrnl.exe to ntoskrn8.sys in import section 3) Recalc checksum If need coexist with original WDF1.9 drivers: 4) Rename WDF01000.SYS->WDF01_W8.SYS, WdfLdr.sys->WdfLdr8.sys 5) In WDF01_W8.SYS replace string WdfLdr.sys to WdfLdr8.sys in import section 6) In WdfLdr8.sys replace unicode string \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wdf%02d000 to \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wdf%02d_w8 7) In WdfLdr8.sys replace hex pattern F6 78 1B F6 to F6 EB 1B F6 (x32), ** ** to ** ** (x64) 8) In target driver XXX.sys replace string "WdfLdr.sys" to "WdfLdr8.sys" in import section 9) In .INF of ported driver add creating new service: AddService=WDF01_W8,, WDF.AddService ....

Microsoft removed calls to PoStartNextPowerIrp in Windows 8's storport.sys, without this call Windows XP/2003 kernel cannot finish current power IRP and start next IRP => it generate BSOD (0x0000009F). Also storport.sys from Windows 7 has compatibility mode to allow old XP/2003 kernels write crashdumps through storport based disk drivers. In storport.sys from Windows 8 compatibility mode was removed, writing crashdumps possible only with new kernels. Take attention: Windows 8's STORAHCI + Windows 7's STORPORT may have significal performance drop and high CPU usage, there is no fix yet 1) Get files from Windows 8 (RTM ISO): storahci.sys v 6.2.9200.16384 2) In storahci.sys replace string storport.sys to ntoskrn8.sys in import section 3) Storahci.sys was compiled with Windows 8 DDK's storport.h and writes values to new fields of _PORT_CONFIGURATION_INFORMATION struct, these fields not exist in Windows 7's storport.sys.

Out uBlock Origin Legacy v.1.16.4.22 (July 4, 2020): https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/tag/firefox-legacy-1.16.4.22

I've narrowed this down along with other similar limitations. The system lockups are due to me running in debug mode; in fact, pressing PrintScreen will lock up the system! The only issue with dependency walker/debugging of programs using my extensions is that trying to track GetProcAddress/LoadLibrary functions will cause a buffer overflow exception. Aside from that, debugging with redirected DLLs is very possible. The obvious solution is to replace the system files with mine, which I was able to do early on, yet now it appears that winlogon/logonui can no longer accept them. And they don't redirection. While Brave and its main DLLs don't seem to export any W7+ functions from DLLs other than kernel32.dll, I decided to copy the rest over and now get a fault in kernel32 at 78DFEC00h, which corresponds to an import table entry for RtlFreeOemString ("Frees the string buffer allocated by RtlUnicodeStringToOemString.") from ntdll, which is called by two subroutines in kernel32. Further investigation required. Visual Studio Code now works, not hindered by my unfinished implementation of Shell_NotifyIconGetRect, but thanks to the fixing of another bug in another function I implemented. Do not, under any circumstances, try to reimplement ntdll functions in other DLLs (except for ntdll functions that are forwarded from kernel32, in kernel32)! There are issues though, with the module that implements extensions/plugins, spdlog.node. It uses up lots of CPU time bringing CPU usage to ~94% on my Xeon X5670. I'll try that soon, once I get the x86 ball rolling, since there doesn't seem to be any x64 binaries available for Windows. In fact, my earlier post about shelving MS Edge and Office 2016+ due to disobedient installers was in error, since I just checked and found that the installers are indeed 32-bit. I've turned into Tim Apple with his OS' relentless pursuit to abandon 32bit binaries. Actually Windows 7 x86 kernel32 code is far simpler than the x64 equivalents, so I have an even better feeling about it. Just need to work quickly enough before x86-32 everything is deprecated!

I like to use a fork called Advanced Chrome in the occasional event I need something Chromium-based. It doesn't include any background services nor auto updater, and the fonts and tab styling is a bit less.. tacky. GDI-style font rendering is applied via custom mask for DirectWrite. One variant is based on 74, other 84. https://browser.taokaizen.com/ There's another project hosted on Discord too which seeks to make bread and butter Chromium 76 compatible with XP too, but the project has long been brought to a halt due to unmet dependencies. It does, however partially load under Vista. The UI will open after several error messages with aero glass frames, but it can't render pages. Not even the settings tab. I can DM the zip file if you're curious to inspect the errors. It's not open source so I'm not sure about redistribution rights, otherwise I'd drop the link here.

Remember the "X Files", where the announcer would say "The Truth is out there" ??? Well, the truth is that you can set up Win-10 without ever having an MS account, and you don't have to even use a password if you don't want to. And by using the new "Classic Shell" you can make Win-10 look and feel just like Win-7. Two important things to do after the initial install, to tighten up Security, is Disable WUDO and turn OFF Cortana. Doing those two things will make Win-10 much more private and secure. I've installed Win-10 over fifty times so far, and I've done the above mentioned things on every install. My customers love it! Cheers mates!

It seems like eons since I logged in here, and the first thing I read is this topic, which by the way is near and dear to me. I discovered the true value of a fresh restore point, when needed, years ago. I think I was running Windows 98 (or some such) then. Anyway, on Windows 7 the syntax for making a new restore point is different than on some of the other OS's currently in use. Here is the syntax that I use for Win-7. Set SRP=GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore") CSRP=SRP.CreateRestorePoint("Hacked the registry", 0, 100) I put these two lines in a script with the extension of .res Then I put the script in my "Startup" folder, so it runs every time I boot up my PC. You can set the amount of hard drive space that is reserved for Restore Points, so they don't just take over the entire HD. Nothing is worse, than needing a fresh restore point and not having one. Good Luck Mate! :cool:

Some videos do not work in full screen mode in polymer on Chrome 49, e.g. in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqi2Jy0UMiA Clicking the Full Screen button or pressing f key switches the browser to full screen mode - just like pressing F11 key and the video is still playing in the window

true also disables polymer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-z7hoEWaH4&disable_polymer=true
