yeah, but it is too late to replace the release. for a workaround, replace xul.dll from previous release should be fine.

I get a warning from the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension on that site, but it works fine if I override it. Supermium 132.0.6834.224 on XP.

... This only means further/wider proliferation of such MITM anti-crawler "services", with the web becoming even more "unpleasant" as time moves on (with a greater impact, of course, on older browser engines, on old/weak H/W); what's the point of having 500 (or more) Mbps fiber internet speeds when every tab you open in your browser will need additional time to pass complex JS tests? FTR, I keep, for historical purposes, a "portable copy" of NM27 (not the last one published, though), which isn't able to pass the Anubis test (e.g., on RPO Gitea repos); and even Serpent 52 struggles passing that test, especially if I don't disable "security/privacy"-oriented solutions (extensions and/or userscripts); privacy also falls victim here, because you're given no other choice on such web-policing "services": either "open" your "privacy fences" or be denied access to the site you're after ... This is all depression-inducing ...

It's Cloudflare, Jim, but not as we know it. Anubis is another clunky piece of software developed by people who believe that only selected browsers are allowed to use the internet. It seems to be predicated on the idea that any non-conformant browser must be evil. Ironically, https://forums.mozillazine.org/ are using the exact same thing. Ben.

Many people use a different system than they have in their profile, or have several computers with different systems.... So reboot12 was right to ask the question.

I have a lot more run-ins with Cloudflare than I do Anubis. Both of them can get stuck in an infinite validation loop. Cloudflare can get insanely aggressive, it will quite happily lock your browser into an irretrievable Loop of Death (who would write code like that?). At least Anubis can easily be stopped. I think the thing I object to the most is that they focus on the way a browser looks rather than what it is actually doing. In civil society this is characterised as profiling rather than being intelligence led. All that will happen is that the bots will better disguise themselves and their behaviour will go unchecked. Ben.

RPO (repo.palemoon.org) is a server owned and paid-for by Moonchild himself; Gitea is just the version control software deployed on that private server to manage source development for UXP, Pale Moon and related projects; it's what is called a "private (self-hosted) Gitea instance" ; on the Anubis test page itself, one can read: ... so I believe MC is mainly concerned with excessive bandwidth consumption; please also note that he had already implemented geolocation-based ACLs (access-control-lists) to counter automated DDoS attacks and, as a consequence, in Hong Kong (where our own roytam1 lives ) RPO is blocked ...

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be. Been here before Dave, we covered this back in 2017. Simple fix with a Server 2003 version of USBPORT.SYS. daniel_k's solution appears to be the best of the various different packages that address the PAE limit.

I must say that I couldn't see anything obviously wrong on reboot12's video either, no crashes or error messages. Is Explorer being sluggish the only issue? I've been using Explorer a lot since I applied the patch, and I've not noticed any difference in performance, apart from the USB issue I mentioned earlier, which now seems to be fixed. Incidentally, I've now determined what specifically is causing the out of memory problem on my browser. It's being caused by my Facebook Purity extension, which is why it was only happening on Facebook! If I disable the extension, the problem goes away. Of course, that isn't the answer. It works fine on the 64-bit version of the browser on Windows 10. The issue still is that although the extension might be causing high memory use in the browser, now that it supposedly has 16GB of RAM to play with, it shouldn't still be running out of RAM!

Anubis (from Egyptian mythology) was also the name of a villainous character on the Stargate SG-1 television series. AI crawling sounds bad but I'm not sure why, what it is, how it differs from ordinary Web crawling, or why robots.txt cannot be relied on.

i forgot the about RAMDISC that AWE was already used in the past with RAMDISC´s (and used more then 4 GB of ram in xp in the past like this) but it has the problem i described before, it can fill more then 4 GB of ram (or the upper parts past of 4 GB physical ram addresses) but then you have to "remap" that pages into a virtual offset - that goes fast but its a small step to do (you have to make it in pieces then) for an app/executable that might be different, because multiple apps/executables mean more virtual offsets for each app/executable therefore the app´s/executables then would be able to use 4 GB of ram in every executable (every app can be seen as a extra virtual offset) - in this case windows then just maps the higher physical ram (for example physical ram addresses from 5-8 GB) - that is possible thats because useally you only see the "virtual offset" - it is not a physical address so then you would have 4 GB each app/executable to mention a other problem, chrome or an application are not always "flawed" either, they actually have bugs for example i have a win7 machine where a memory crash always apear after some time bigger app´s dont useally have a own controlment for its memory, they use a engine - in this case probaly a memory managment engine that win7 chrome is bugged with a "untouched download" from chrome for me so it not neccesary has to be always a error of the backport for example to windowsXP well about that patch - i havnt worked on it so its hard for me to say if it is really doing its job what i can see but is that this patch dont show its connection for the PTE´s and PDE´s - that would be a neccesary thing it must can handle (the patch is incredible small) let´s say it cant, then it might print out "i have 16 GB of ram", but the progress might not be done maybe the patch just works - that would be possible the patch should be tested, or maybe someone comments if he already has tested that patch, maybe someone has knowledge what dave wrote sounds a bit like that it actually dont work chrome make multiple apps/executables - and if its doing that it has at least 2 GB of ram for each app 2 GB should be enough for one TAB by like a far if that out of memory error apears when a lot off app/executables apears it would be an indicator that the patch dont work because it cant handle the PTE´s PDE´s or maybe other parts of that progress (that handle the controlment of physical pages above 4 GB) then it would try to use the first piece of the 4 GB ram and that error would apear so hard to say, but i would try multiple apps/executables that actually use up more then 4 GB ram

I don't use Chrome-Dome and spell checkers don't always catch errors especially in titles. Since you don't have anything "constructive" to add, run along.

Wrapper of bcryptprimitives (e.g., p_cryptp from Supermium) and kernel32 (e.g., pwrp_k32 also from Supermium). And you can mod this yourself.

So yesterday LibreOffice launched v25.8, which will be released in August this year. As anticipated, this version will drop support for Windows 7 and 8.1. Nonetheless, I was curious if it will work on these OS. On Windows 7 it does not work, since Windows 7 doesn't support Python 3.9+. You will receive the error "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" is missing. I used VxKex, which fixes that error, however another dependency from Windows 8+ is missing On Windows 8.1, Alpha 1 works without any errors. I copied the folder from another Windows 10 install and I could launch Writer, Calc, Office... Here, Windows 8.1 definitely benefits from higher Python support and newer APIs

Thanks. This is off-topic here of course, but the driver I'm using for the M4000 on XP is version 368.91. Are any of the ones you've referred to later than that?

Because it is literally nonsense to have two (maybe even three in a few months) ESR branches running at the same time. What was the reason for not supporting Windows 7 and 8.1 till Firefox 128 and then migrate them to the ESR chanel, when 115 ESR and 128 ESR will probably have the same EOL date? Users of older operating systems could have profited from the features introduced between 115-128 as well. Let's say Firefox 115 ESR will be extended for another 6 months -> you are patching an older version instead of a newer one with better Web Standards. Makes no sense for me. I give you another example: Microsoft not releasing IE10/11 for Windows Server 2008 SP2 was such a dumb idea, since IE9 does not feature the same HTML5/CSS standards as IE11. While these two browser version were released 2 years apart from each other, Microsoft could have ported it back for 2008 SP2 as well but they didn't. Up to this day, they continue to support IE9 on 2008 SP2 (with Premium Assurance) but it makes no sense, since you cannot browse the web with that version anymore. Most sites do not render correctly etc. IE11 would have been a huge advantage for the remaining users in literally any way possible To conclude, it is always better to have a more up-to-date version because of newer in-build web technologies. If I would have to choose, I would always pick the newer branch for my older OS

Intel i5-3470 is the oldish Ivy Bridge, officially supported by Intel. The video driver ain't no need any Windows Vista Extended Kernel.

My investigation of all other drivers, which might be problematic in that partition, has been finally finished. After all these already performed measures and all this hypothesis stuff , here's now a little and in my opinion quite interesting proof (what else could you expect from me ): Prerequisites: A native Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit without any POSReady updates, Thorium SSE2 122.0.6261.171 WINXP x32, Total Commander and Process Hacker. Assertion: Driver remnants from previously uninstalled programmes can cause spontaneous, irregular crashes of the Thorium browser under Windows XP Professional 32-bit. Proof: The current status at the beginning of this proof: Thorium is still crashing spontaneously, sooner or later, without any recognisable pattern. After a thorough investigation of all installed drivers in this Windows XP partition listed in the prerequisites, I found three drivers in the c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ folder in the form of SYS files, which are loaded correctly after system startup, though. These files are avgntflt.sys, avipbb.sys and avkmgr.sys whose manufacturer is Avira. They are automatically loaded at system startup and logged in the Event Viewer as properly loaded drivers. That's why I didn't notice them earlier as I only looked there for errors. However, there are no programmes of this manufacturer installed any longer in this partition. This was indeed the crucial hint. After checking and unpacking all installation files that could have installed these drivers in the past, I was able to identify the culprit. It was the crappy Wise Anti Malware 2.2.1, which was installed for a short time for testing purposes only. With the help of Process Hacker and Total Commander, I was able to stop the associated processes and completely remove all three driver files, but only after restarting the system. Immediately afterwards, I opened the Thorium browser, configured it completely and restarted the browser several times. No first launch crashes anymore! Various pages were called up. The browser did not crash even once, no matter what actions were performed. Now, Thorium is working absolute stably in this partition as it is in my POSReady partition. So, these three drivers or at least, one of them (probably the avgntflt.sys driver as it is a filter driver and was more difficult to remove), were definitely the cause of the permanent Thorium crashes. q.e.d. PS: So, forget about my formerly created hypotheses H0! They all have to be rejected with an empirically determined probability of type I error of nearly 0. There is no indication that Thorium requires POSReady updates under Windows XP 32-bit, at least at the moment.

Today, I have installed Legacy Update 1.9 on my Windows XP Professional SP3 installation where POSReady updates have never been applied. It's just a pure Windows XP 32-bit. Due to the lack of POSReady updates, I decided to test Legacy Update in this XP installation. It was installed in seconds and calling up this service worked without any problems. It even offered to install root certificates and POSReady updates, which I didn't want and had to untick during the install process, though. The Windows Update search was performed in the Internet Explorer without any settings or actions by the user, and only few minutes later, it was done. Great service! I can definitely recommend it, especially to those who haven't use the POSReady hack. BTW, the result was the same I got in 2014 as all WU/MU updates have been installed at that time. I just wanted to be sure that no updates are missing.

Would be great if you saved it in the past. FileHippo has become bad the last years. It was great but now it is crap. The file is only a linker (1.6MB) and no offline installer. From FileHippo one can't get any meaningful these days.

Well, that really is news. BTW, did I mention that I have over 38 years of DOS and over 32 years of Windows experience? The registry is so to speak my home. And where do you live?

You can assume whatever comes to your mind. I couldn't care less. I have had negative experiences, and that was not so long ago (only a month). Therefore, there cannot and will not be any anecdotes here.

I know that these settings are not just there for fun. I lost nearly all my installed extensions at the beginning of my tests with Thorium due to these registry settings. I'm not going to play around with it again. I have installed 14 extensions. Not all are enabled, of course. Some of them are permanently enabled and some only on demand.

Thorium SSE2 122.0.6261.168 WINXP x32, which is actually the version 122.0.6261.169, stores extension settings in the registry. That you cannot replicate it is unfortunately not my problem. And I don't believe that this version does it only for me. Or do you think I created all these entries by myself just to confuse you? Here is a screenshot:

Update notification! - uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35. As already described, you can install this version over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher). The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! I changed the link of an important filter list to get the most recent version. More details can be found in the changelog. in my main article, and of course the download link. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I didn't realise that so many people here are interested in the physics of thermodynamics.

No problem. Then that's the way it is. Actually, people should get their information here anyway. Sometimes, it's not so easy to express exactly what you want to say in a foreign language. In most cases, I think I manage that, but unfortunately not always.

Where did you get this information? It usually comes in two versions, the free version Malware Hunter and the commercial version Malware Hunter Pro. As already described in my article, the features real-time protection and automatic updates are only available in Malware Hunter Pro. Actually, Glarysoft Malware Hunter Pro has a 30-day free trial period. After that, you must purchase a license for the software to use all its professional features. That means you can use it as an on demand scanner when the trial period has expired.

What I can say in any case is that Mypal 68.13.7b is also affected by this issue. And after a short test, Mypal 68.13.3b is affected by these sporadic crashes, too. All in single-process mode. In multiprocess mode, on the other hand, Mypal 68.13.7b doesn't seem to crash on Codeberg.org, i.e. just as in Mypal 68.13.9b. Greetings, AstroSkipper

@feodor2 Did you observe sudden crashes in Mypal 68.13.9b when surfing on Codeberg.org? Unfortunately, I had to determine sudden crashes without any messages that occur completely randomly when clicking onto links on Codeberg's pages. However, only in single-process mode. All preference settings for single-process mode are set to the default values in my installation. In multiprocess mode, on the other hand, I could not observe such crashes. Any ideas?

It's much worse for me, and I don't even have the Aero theme like you. I ran it on my Windows 8.0 with Light and Dark themes, it consumed all 32GB of memory with 1 empty page, and after one second I got "out of memory" even at the settings page!

I'm sorry, I'd want to see a technical explanation.

And if I don't use 32 apps? Everything else fine?

Tell us, will that "territory" include the recently occupied neighbours ? Legal explanations from a lawyer : The territory of Russian Federation was internationally recognised only in the borders of 1991. Since your Russian Federation illegally annexed territories from its neighbours, it has no recognised borders anymore.

Of course the Windows Update Agent with file version 6.3.21.0 has to be installed. This is the version I have. Install it with command option: WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x86 /WUforce. Then install Restore_WU_XP_2003 again. No reboot at this time. Then do following steps of Restore_WU_XP_2003's install.cmd manually: adding registry entries by importing via reg file if necessary but injecting wuaueng.dll in any case. Then reboot your computer. Try MU again. P.S. No more further editing. I swear!

What certificate do you mean? cacert.pem in program folder of HTTPSProxy (using HTTPSProxy instead of ProxHTTPSProxy) or site certificates like fe2.update.microsoft.com.crt in cert folder of HTTPSProxy or what? Very confusing these comments in this topic.

Thanks for clarifying! You're right I have to test official binaries on a Windows 7 or 10 PC first to decide whether it is an official ffmeg issue or a problem of your mods. Thanks so far!

Hello, I use the FFmpeg for Windows XP builds to watch Live TV streams. Really nice work and thanks for that. But there is a problem. All new xpmod-sse builds work great and better than the old legacy ones except with Live streams of two German local channels ZDF and ZDFneo. The stream urls are https://zdf-hls-15.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016498/de/med/master.m3u8 and https://zdf-hls-16.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016499/de/med/master.m3u8. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors. Something must have changed by modifying I think. Any ideas? Thanks and regards

@Roytam Hello Roytam, great job you are doing here. Thanks for keeping Win XP alive! I don't know whether you already have noticed your host o.rthost.cf is not accessible. Hope it isn't a serious problem. Best regards
