Yep! And even New Moon 28 can deal with these certificates:

No, those are two completely different guys. To clarify: Supermium is made by @win32 - Canada, Thorium (100% based on Supermium) but made by Alex F. "Alex313031" - Russia.

Fully updated Windows is always key, specially in XP days. I can't uderstand why a lot of people ignoring UpdatePacks and they crying and complaining. It's still same after another 10 years. Yes, and of course there could be bugs. But I quess I must face these issues, when testing images on real machines. Another point is, many "Windows XP Enthusiast" never have real XP machine and never used them, they are just too young..

Correct. But even in W.10/11 in many malicious websites with (HTTPS) phishing content (this is not often the case for websites with malware content) the certificate is valid and nothing prevents the browser (at a given initial instant of time) from opening the malicious web page without any problem. P.S. In fact, I would be curious to see how your browsers (on W.XP) would treat these web pages,but the test should be done quickly after I put in the phishing link.

I don't know what uBO users at large value as super important, there are a lot of under the hood changes, one of the things that stood out to me were filters using $removeparam, AdGuard URL Tracking Filter list uses those exclusively for removing tracking parameters from URLs when navigating web pages. Number of changes, including this one, come from later versions that saw much code cleanup, meaning, in layman terms, you can't copy-paste code directly from web extension. There's loads of now closed issues that were opened once for the extension... Also newer versions have some code parts written in WebAssembly for performance reasons. Anyway, don't look at me for big updates, I hate programming...maybe I'll still try to get some of the easier stuff into the old extension, not right now though as I'm not in the right place mentally. The older I get, the more software seems like politics. A bunch of bickering how to achieve certain result...

And what about that? A Windows port of the Elliptic Curve Cryptography library (ECC-LIB): https://github.com/argp/ecc-lib-win32

I have just changed the image. Click onto it and use the zoom button! All is described in my main article in the section 9 in terms of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3. BTW, information can't be detailed enough. You should rather be glad that someone has gone to so much trouble. And inside the archive file is additionally a manual with all instructions.

Then something's wrong on your end, according to @George King, and I quote. "When I installed Windows XP SP3+ (All updates until 04-2019 and .NET and Visual C++)" "it (Supermium) works like a charm." @George Kingwouldn't tell crap, trust me. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/493#issuecomment-2067100117

Yeah... it still baffles me to see phishing websites getting a perfectly valid certificate from Let's Encrypt. I mean, what's the point of having Certificate Authorities at this point if scammers can just get their ways around it...

It isn't abandoned, just Win32 have changed the main goals of the project. I already posted a comment here earlier explaining that he wants the EK to be more focused on making drivers/advanced things to work rather than just running programs, as it's a better deal to develop alternatives of popular programs like Chromium by making a version specifically dedicated to older platforms rather than backporting whole chunks of system functions to make the original program to work, that are sometimes requiring indecent amounts of work for something that can potentially never came out or be completely unstable. That's primarily why he started developing Supermium: backporting the memory sharing API from Windows 10 to make Chrome 112+ to run simply doesn't worth the hundreds of hours of research/development he could have to invest in, in order to make something kinda "operational" and which "is not conflicting with the rest of the system". It's cheaper and quicker to create Supermium, which is perfectly adapted to run on the OS you want it to run into rather than making the big popular software to "run" in a semi-unstable way because your implementation of the said backported API is flawed and needs several dozen of extra hours to completely fix and finally having something working. But here also I said that once he would have done a such job, the application may have been updated and now requires another set of APIs that must be also backported to finally have that program to work! This is an endless cycle. For the moment Win32's priorities are elsewhere, but I can ensure you that the day he would work on an update for this project. (Source: trust me bro but it'll happen for sure) -- <OT::GrainOfSalt> Also a parallel can be made at a certain degree with VxKex, because there wasn't any releases between August 2022 and February 2024. Many people said this project was dead, but one day the long rewrite we all waited for finally came out, after 1.5 year. Just remember that those individuals are doing that generally on their spare time, some also does it completely for free and with good faith, and thus, owe you nothing in any way, except eventually donations for the many headaches they got while debugging "why that a*s-programmed application isn't running while another one, based on the same framework, runs flawlessly?!". Anyway, for a such projects I can't complaint because they do a job a very few people accept to do, and generally without requesting anything back. Yes, the time gap between two releases can be long, but hey, they have a life and other projects, and like I said, they do all their work voluntarily, wanting nothing back from you except maybe testing and your support.</OT>

Here are two screenshots containing the site and certificate information of DeepL and valid-isrgrootx2.letsencrypt.org taken from Mypal 68.13.9b under Windows XP Professional 32-bit: I can't see any E1 problems. I fear your statement: is not correct. Maybe, it applies to Windows XP without any ports and 360Chrome but not in general. Do you agree?

Yep! And that's a good example why TLS protocols and certain cipher suites can be used in Windows XP although this OS can't handle them natively.

No, it uses its own, in addition to the system ones, but the Chinese are of most importance to this browser. Go to chrome://settings/certificate And you will see China issued certificates from 360 original (inner) store. Any more questions?

And don't forget, even if the certificates in its own cert store match yours, you can still see the red flags because its own ones are too old. That browser was released in 2020, we live in 2024.

It's been that way for TWENTY YEARS. Don't for one second think that the "padlock" in that address bar really means anything at all !!! It only ever really did back when ONLY bank sites had that "padlock" !!!

@Ben Markson & @roytam1 : Although what I'll bring up concerns a different browser engine (360EEv13, based on Chromium 86), perhaps the time discrepancy is attributed to a Windows XP quirk/bug, especially if you take into account that upstream codebases (UXP by MCP, Chromium 86) were never meant to be run under Windows XP ... In the autumn of 2022, our dear @Dave-H complained about 01:00 discrepancies in the timestamps of the history entries of his 360EEv13 profile under XP, when the UK observes BST (UTC+01:00); this issue doesn't manifest itself when the same profile is launched under his Win10 partition; mitigation of the issue, though, under XP involved unchecking the "Automatically adjust clock for DST" control panel setting and manually selecting a region with a [UTC+01:00] timezone for the duration BST is being observed ; you can read the exchange between me and Dave by going to https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/?do=findComment&comment=1226930 and do read some posts after that (and the previous page, too, if you don't mind ) ... Best regards !

Here are 2 photos of my Shuttle Hot 433 board, with running full XP SP3 on it. I notice, that even from version 1...3 of this board, they have different IDE controllers, so you cant switch from one board to next with the same XP SP3 installation. This strange behavior I have never seen for any IDE controller before. Next step is to build an full Setup XP486.iso. I make a try, to overcome also there the crazy opcode cmpxchg8b and also the "Unknown Processor" hurdle. Any help is welcome, which files on the xp.iso have to be changed, for to kick out those checks. It is not so much difficult I think. My files without any cmpxchg8b are quite stable, anyway I will update them and I also make an english version Dietmar

... Perhaps @Yordan wrongly assumed that "Windows Vista SP2 x64 + Vista Extended Kernel (by win32)" is on par with "Windows 7 SP1 x64", which, of course, is NOT the case ...

How can I integrate this into Windows XP? Is there an installation file or a ready-made file that I can copy to a specific folder? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this. This was just a hint that Elliptic Curve Cryptography can be ported to Windows XP. No more, no less. How this can be done, no idea. The linked project is not documented more detailed. But as you stated clearly, you like such short information. Personally, I do not really need such a port.

That's not the question I asked. Anyways, we can't even be sure it's on the level of the 114 engine. Many flags and/or functions are missing, just read on github.

Actually, mine just has a floppy connector, I don't have any actual floppy drive available anymore. But you can put FreeDOS on USB flash drive and browse mostly simple web sites with Links as there's a network driver available that actually works with onboard NVIDIA Ethernet adapter (on ASUS M3N78 motherboard). It's pretty quiet in DOS though. Last time I played with it, there was a newer audio player available which name I don't recall that was supposed to work with Intel HD Audio compatible sound chips and even port of Quake II game to DOS (called Q2DOS), also claiming being able to output sound through those, though the latter only detected the chip name, both programs were silent. Yeah, I also write as much it comes to me.

That's because that flag is originally an Official Ungoogled Chromium flag and Supermium hasn't (yet) started importing patches from Ungoogled repository.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only wrote what I saw a very long time ago, I don't have a github account, I don't follow what's up there. But someone who distributes cr*cks would logically want to hide the real location, no? BTW, the username is still very Russian, and his English speaks for itself. By this very logic you would demand proof win32 is from Canada, right? As for me, I'm 100% certain win32 is from Canada. Alex F., on other hand, well, you know. In any case, don't use the browser if you're worried. Solved.

Although very dated might I suggest this test to evaluate the better/worse intrinsic security of Thorium vs Supermium? Perhaps the score is identical: https://browseraudit.com/

Wow! Very cool!

I'll try to address it by updating timezone data in next build.

Chrome/Chromium has used an internal cert store in addition to the OS cert store since v105 and it has been enabled by default since v108. To the best of my knowledge, I do think that Official Chrome, Official Ungoogled Chromium, Supermium, and Thorium all fetch these as opposed to them being "bundled". I'll concede to anyone much more in-the-know. My only intent was to demonstrate that the same EXACT browser in XP will not have the same level of security as it does in 10. ECC cert shortcomings in XP has been known for a VERY long time. It is nice to see the backport cited a few posts ago, so that SHORTCOMING is being addressed. XP cert store cannot "do" ECC. But as demonstrated, Mypal only performs this because it is not using the XP cert store. How Supermium is performing this is a NIGHTMARE to figure out, it is simply UNSTABLE and pegs my CPU at 100%, crashes too often, et cetera, for me to have the patience to even ATTEMPT to sort it out.

No, we don't. You said: This statement does not refer to any cert stores. You have to stand by what you said. Maybe, you should correct this statement so that it can be assigned a Boolean truth value of true again. The evidence can be found in the previous posts.

Looks promising.

Here is a llst of all cipher suites and TLS protocols offered by ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3:

It doesn't require hardware acceleration. Even a C2D has enough performance to open 1080p h265. You need h265 in mp4 to test it. But I've already checked, the h265 video does open. Tested in Win XP.

You can't! "VxKex is a set of API extensions for Windows 7 that allow some Windows 8, 8.1 and 10-exclusive applications to run on Windows 7." You confused Vista with Wn7.

Yes, right, thanks for the warning, I almost forgot and was on the verge of posting it!

Why off-top? It's not off-top. I'll tell you where. Alex had his own website long before he made that github account. Several MSFN members linked to that site, but it was not allowed for posting because Alexei hosted cr*cks on his site along with the browser Thorium. Then he deleted that site after the scandal with the child p0rn distribution (but we are forbidden to go into further details) by Dave-H. As you may remember, the old Thorium topic was locked, probably due to the reason of Alex (Thorium) distributing cr*cked Windows loaders, etc...

You're welcome! Then we also have to take into account that the iteration you talk about first came through Russia repackers' hands. As it is based on a repack from Russia.

I find it amazing that Start11 can literally crash all of explorer when configuring its menus but StartAllBack which is one of the most stable pieces of software I've ever seen causes security or performance issues. If Tihiy has to discontinue SAB I will be forced to begrudgingly use Windows 11 stock because Start11 is not a viable alternative in any way. It's amazing that a company as established as Stardock can sell something just so bug ridden and unstable. No wonder there has been a rivalry (it seems), Stardock is this huge company but they can't even come close to matching the quality of the work of one guy. Doing a simple search in the start menu after a few seconds triggers an explorer crash, what a pile of junk that is.

I have ran (in VM only) some Thorium releases in the past. LONG before Supermium was ever a thing! I did find Thorium to be STABLE. Even with only 2GB RAM allocated to the VM. Like it or not, Supermium is simply NOT THERE -- *yet* I personally don't mind, in the least, viewing Thorium EXACTLY as we did 360Chrome "in the days of forgotten lore". Nobody trusted 360Chrome in the beginning either. It was MSFN Members that evolved it into something we were comfortable with. Logging its every connection, hex editing .dll's, customizing GUI, et cetera. Nothing wrong, in the least, with doing the same to Thorium... And Supermium... Show a screen cap of Thorium making a questionable connection. The "throw granny from the cliffs" scare tactic approach isn't doing anybody any good.

Yes it is. That's what "Alex F." (Thorium) wrote at his official github page. Not long after "Alex F." edited his profile and changed location from Russia to US. "I just tweak a few things, and do the necessary steps to remove Supermium branding..." He didn't, the maker himself did. Familiarize yourself with his statement. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/363#issuecomment-1998666719

Stop writing this nonsense under every post mentioning Thorium. If you are so disgusted by him, just ignore those posts.

Yeah, this one I bought for 19.99. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHc8Owp

980 Ti is 2x - 3x bigger than 710. This is my 980 Ti. Im awaiting brand new SZMZ GTX 960 and CCTING R9 280X… I think R9 vs 980Ti on x64 XP will be interesting to compare, both should be 384 bit. Btw, this setup runs now on unknown brand 2TB NVMe from AliExpress which cost 20$.. Dual Boot 11 and XP in CSM.

Everything was changed - see used structures in storport 7 vs 8. After 8056 was changed build environment - see other drivers for PoFx.. functions. It will probably never work. And If then only for specific driver, like Daniels NVMe 8.1 for 7. which have working TRIM in 7. Maybe you can start there instead. I tried patch his already patched files for 7 to XP in past. But without success.

@Damnation Because after 8056 was changed build environment and they pushed more incompatible code there. Trying to port whole 8 storport probably can't bring much benefits at all as structures were changed a lot. When I was porting 8.1 StorAhci code to XP with Kai 8 port I saw these changes. Instead of patching 8 storport would be better to start adding needed functions into Kai storport source based on 2003 sp1 storport. Same as Mov does with ACPI.
