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.

@Dietmar A CSMWrap version has been released, which allows you to use the BIOS video from the disk from EFI\Boot\vgabios.bin https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap/issues/37#issuecomment-3030297746 Compiled bins: https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap/actions/runs/16040013218 Thanks to this, WinXP boot OK on iGPU using ntldr as on a normal Legacy machine - I tested CoffeeLake, Haswell, SandyBridge: CSM Disabled, iGPU VBIOS extracted from motherboard bios. Now - I don't have to use SeaVGABIOS and Longhorn bootmgr 5472 loader.

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.

That I can't do, I need to maintain the gaming performance. BTW, I had managed to start 137. But not 140. And with the old redirection method, WITHOUT SM files at all. I don't have any EX kernels extensions installed.

I see that there is a need for a more detailed explanation. You need: Vista SP2 x64 (you may need to upgrade it to 2017 EOL) kernel33.dll from Vista extended kernel v2023-03-09. p_advp32, p_ole, pwp_shl, p_user from Supermium 132 R4. (for convenience you can name them advapi33, ole33, shell33, user33 etc) In the chrome.exe file, change kernel32.dll to kernel33.dll in the import table using CFF Explorer In the chrome.dll file, change the same import. Then open this file in HxD and search for advapi32, ole32, shell32, user32 - they may be in several places, change the ones that are full import table looking like below: In the chrome_elf.dll file, as you rightly pointed out, change NtOpenKeyEx to the NtOpenKey version.

It seems that Daum Potplayer for Windows Vista is out of date. The last version I could install was 1.7.22508 released in March 2025. Maybe for some people it is not the best player, but it was really good for me. Such a pity.

Supermium's advapi misses this api. How do you run it, then?

It's a convoluted mess... See issue #12482. You may need to provide a PO Token. That said, I didn't yet have this warning (I download 1080p avc1/mp4a videos most of the time). Related?

Bring back the Azure Screen of Indifference! Wasn't there a red screen of death in a Vista beta?

It's ok for me, 126R7,XP x86

If you take the Anubis explanation (posted above by @VistaLover ) at its word, it seems to make sense. The idea is to make the user agent (browser or bot) do something rather hard, but not too hard; the idea being if you're just an ordinary user, the extra work is just a short delay in getting to the Web page; but if you're a bot crawling millions of pages, that extra work isn't worth the effort so you'll just abort the script after a few milliseconds and move on. But, then - why insist on "modern" Javascript and why force users to disable their privacy guards? I'm still somewhat skeptical that Anubis was telling us the whole story above.

something like this

I used kernel33 from extended kernel and advapi32, ole32, shell32, user32 wrappers from Supermium 132. As you can see, for example, ublock works. I didn't need a platform upgrade or an extended kernel installation for this

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?

I think MSFN could benefit from a Compile Chromium thread/tutorial. I myself have "successfully" compiled Chromium but I've had to take bits and pieces from four (or more, don't recall now) different "tutorials" found online. I ended up with something that would "launch" and "browse", but in the end I didn't really "trust" my own work and sent it all to the Recycle Bin.

https://msfn.org/board/topic/186741-firefox-and-chromium-running-on-windows-7-by-e3kskskoy7wqk/?do=findComment&comment=1278904 They quit making CCFL around 2007, around 18 years ago, so yeah it's LED. you said it's "less than 10 y.o." Shades of white and proper shadows are only visible on a good, properly calibrated, expensive LED, which is LESS than 5, not "less than 10 years old" like yours, but then again, I don't blame you, it's just strange why at least 5 people here see that, and you don't.

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.

Regarding my issue with sudden Thorium crashes, I performed the following measures so far: Checking the file system for errors. Checking the integrity of the partition structure. Purging the partition in terms of trash/temp files. Complete defragmentation of the partition. Offline defragmentation of pagefile and registry files. Clearing and reorganising of the prefetch files. Checking the registry for errors and fixing them. Checking for missing updates performed by Legacy Update. Adding a couple of Windows updates which weren't offered by WU/MU. Installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributable Package as it is also installed in the POSReady partition. Verifying the integrity of the DirectX 9.0c installation. Verifying the integrity of all .NET Framework installations. Uninstalling or disabling programmes which are permanently loaded and don't exist in my POSReady installation. Checking all autostart programmes and services. Fixing of all errors from the event log. Configuration of all services corresponding to my POSReady installation. Updating of programmes, which are permanently loaded, to the same version as in the POSReady installation. Update of the root certificates. Fixing a network error and adjusting all network settings. Graphics card driver completely uninstalled, all leftovers cleaned and more recent driver version installed. Now, my Windows XP Pro SP3 installation without POSReady updates is completely error-free except the issue with sudden Thorium crashes . The good is this Windows XP installation is now even fresher and faster than ever. My next measure is the check of all other drivers in that partition which might be problematic.

You should better use GPU-Z to see all features of your graphics card.

Maybe, an old SSL Proxy could help. Or a very old version of ProxHTTPSProxy where SSL3 is not disabled. Just ideas. As far as I know, OpenSSL supports SSLv3, at least in older versions.

A round of cheering! Thank you! These noop things have been driving me crazy.

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

Image saving problems were already reported in Mypal 68's issues: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/273 Personally, I never tried to save images using Mypal 68.13.9b but I will try to do so when I'm back at my desktop computer.

As far as I can remember, I got this version from the Custom Buttons Forum many years ago. This forum is no longer active and has unfortunately closed. The Custom Buttons extension was fixed on a regular base in those days due to breakages which occurred repeatedly after updating Firefox. In these days, you can get this extension either via the Classic Add-ons Archive or here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/custombuttons/files/. I personally have an huge archive of custom buttons themselves and the Custom Buttons extensions which were created in those days. However, the Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9.6-fixed8 version, you presumably will get only here. These fixed versions were never archived officially. I have just checked my archive of custom buttons and extensions. I found there a more recent version of the Custom Buttons extension targeting our Firefox respectively Pale Moon based browsers and installed it in a New Moon 28 testing profile. Only if the testing is positive, and all my custom buttons are working properly, I will present this version here.

Ok!? Is it not possible to edit posts in the Pale Moon forum afterwards? I only know this from the Malwarebytes forum. I personally hate such restrictions.

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.

Please, translate such kind of messages! This is an English speaking forum, and not all are proficient in the Greek language.

Yep! However, I deactivated the file PromoUtil.exe in my installation when I used this security programme. Less pop-ups and less RAM consumption. The problem with all recent 360 Total Security versions is the quality of their scanners since they don't use Avira and Bitdefender scan engines any longer but unfortunately their own ones, 360 Cloud Scan Engine, 360 QVMII AI Engine, QEX and KunPeng. Read this review here: https://www.safetydetectives.com/best-antivirus/360-total-security/ And once again, please provide more information when you do a request!

You're most likely missing the AHCI drivers that needed to be integrated. It's many tutorials around the web. I'm not sure whether to tell it here because it would involve the modifying of original MS ISO. Just search for integrating SATA drivers (AHCI) to XP.

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.

Sorry, I thought you are the creator of these new xpmod-sse binaries on https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M;O=D. Do you know who the author of these binaries is? By the way there are a lot of free German VPN or German proxy servers but anyway I need new binaries only for Windows XP. So your link https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows does not help and I think there is something going wrong by building these specific new xpmod-sse binaries so the original coder of FFmpeg can't help. Help of the creator of these specific new xpmod-sse binaries is needed! Thanks so far

Thanks for very quick reply! I'm not getting "HTTP error 403 Forbidden" for both urls. I think you have to be in Germany to watch these streams due to terms of license . Maybe you can test it with a German VPN. I triied a German VPN and it works too. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors in Germany or using German VPN but using any new xpmod-sse builds no chance. In the command line log window I can see "skip...." endless lines. Then I got error message of windows. Maybe you want a log of these errors? It seems the new ones can't find audio streams and so on.
