Yes, the page above is the official Supermium website. And the account was flagged for "spamming". as I found out when trying to export the repository directly from GitHub to GitLab. The repositories were not deleted, but they are hidden from public view along with my account itself. At the time of this incident, I had built Chromium 124-based Supermium and it worked on XP (x86 and x64). But I still had a few deficiencies to correct before even a pre-release, specifically graphical glitches with GPU enabled, some upstream UI bugs, plus other outstanding bugs reported recently. Other features such as a UA/UACH spoofer and UI customization were being worked on as well. I reiterate that there is no malware in Supermium, progwrp, its installer and its uninstaller.

Yes, but only if you want to have the extensions left, cookies aren't allowed to be transferred anyways!!! I just tried with a site similar to a forum, I copied the browser with this flag to another PC, Cookie became invalid, and I was forced to fully login!

Encryption creates a unique ID of your machine, it's used for fingerprinting. For example, Thorium developer can trace you by the logs. It's very convenient for devs to see which machine generated an error. In Brave and other Chromes it's used in guinea pigs "variations" tests. Google what it is.

Of course not! But the amount of times we read it, oh boy... Besides, telling it simply makes no sense since it's already publicly known we're on old "insecure" OS. P.S. I want, and always preferred, strictly about the subject posts.

Ethics on this forum doesn't allow to use such references in regards of old OS, MSFN is a home for old OS fans. Probably, you still don't know that? For example DAVE, our respected moderator, uses XP on his daily basis, I use Vista.

Registry is there for a couple of main purposes. It includes tracking, logging for devs, surveying the legitimacy of software (trial timers, etc), simplifying police/forensic investigators.

We have no way of telling/knowing what portable loaders you used to achieve that, and we have no way of proving/disproving it works or doesn't work in your case, I run this browser with my personally written starter App on Vista, so I don't care about that entries. @AstroSkipper doesn't run fully portable version, there's no reason to accuse a higly respected member of MSFN, and simply a good man, of trolling!

You have to back up the Thorium folder and its registry keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Thorium for a later re-install. Otherwise you will lose the settings for which extensions have been installed.

It's more of a trend, not a bug, It happens in new Chrome, also.

Are these issues only in 5015 and not in 5012? In 5015 I made changes to the SRW locks, enabling them in shared mode.

Thanks for the tip! I will have a look at this preference once again when I am back at my machine.

I use Opera (Mobile) only on Android. No command line flags there, and there are only four internal flags available.

It shouldn't be like that, even if you always used those two flags. Probably your motherboard, OS and username are the same or similar? The browser gets you PC info via GetOEMCP. Is it on XP, by any chance? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnls/nf-winnls-getoemcp

Most private data collecting browsers, like the infamous Chinese Opera, don't allow to use that flag! This ought to tell something! We, along with @D.Draker, discovered it's bound to Opera Customer Unique ID.

I have an explanation. When real capitalists ran the West, everything was fine. Nowadays commies ran the majority of all businesses. I was in shock when discovered they only allow you to buy the exact (low) amount of items in America! Like 3 CPUs in one hands. They started to shove down our throats those limits rather recently. It's not capitalism. It's freaking Soviet Union! In real capitalism you buy whatever amount you want!

What's UXP browsers? Something for Xeon Processors only?

Due to the regular maintainence of my Windows XP, there is no need to reinstall the OS. It is even faster than in its early days. I did so much to it that even Thorium runs well under Windows XP. I also have a well thought-out image system and can return to a previous state at any time. Even to the very first one.

... A more in-depth analysis of the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_application A "portable" app installation is also called "stealth" when the portable app is being launched from an external (to the host) storage media (e.g. HDD) but when the app is exited and the media detached from the host computer, NO TRACE whatsoever related to the app is left on the host's file system and registry; I guess you can also call the app "stealth" even when "installed" on an internal (host) disk, when it doesn't leave any of its 1. associated files outside of its assigned "portable installation" directory 2. associated registry keys on the host OS once exited... Many apps can be made "portable", but it takes a lot of effort to additionally make them "stealth"; sometimes, that isn't possible at all, even with app virtualisation (e.g. Microsoft Office and most of the Adobe Suites); in those difficult cases , the application is very complexly intertwined with the OS it runs on ...

The effort to install complex programmes that need to access data in different locations in Windows is probably too great and probably in certain cases not possible, either. I therefore have no problem with certain programmes having to be installed correctly.

I do not use a portable loader for Thorium. And I assume @chermany4ever either.

thanks for your investigation. so basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20210327 is OK and basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20210320 fails? http://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/2021/03/weekly-browser-binaries-20210327.html EDIT: oh yea there is a commit missed in my repo! "Issue #1749 - Remove restriction of SVG width/height element attributes." is missed, will add it back and will be available in next build.

OK, this is off-topic, but things are getting weirder.... There is something on my system blocking me from launching any application named "firefox.exe." I have to rename Firefox to, say, firefoxx.exe for it to run! If I don't rename it, when I try to launch it, it says it doesn't exist! Anyone ever heard of such a thing? Edit 3: OK I found that problem. At one point I was experimenting with trying to run Mo versions >115 with VxKex (a Win 7 kernel extender). I had no luck, so I uninstalled VxKex. Unfortunately, the uninstall did not revert a registry key, so anytime I tried to run firefox.exe, Windows tried to load VxKex and of course, couldn't find it. That was the real missing file. Deleting the registry key fixed it. That said, I can confirm that Mo 68.9 ESR does not render AVSForum correctly. Same bug as Serpent. Clean profile. Edit: OK, getting closer. Mo 78.9 ESR does render AVSForum correctly. So Mozilla's fix was between 68 and 78 (and presumably backported to MyPal). Edit 2: OK, got it. Mo 68.9 ESR doesn't work, but Mo 69 does work. So Mozilla's fix landed in version 69. The date of the fix appears to be circa Oct. 2019. At least, that's the date on all the files in the Mozilla Firefox folder. Hmm.... Perhaps this? The SVG geometry attributes (such as width and height) can now also be defined as CSS properties (Firefox bug 1383650). Edit 4: The fix appears to have landed in official Pale Moon somewhat later: version 29.1.1, dated 26-Mar-2021. Version 29.1.0, dated 1-Mar-2021, does not render AVSForum.com correctly. So I have it narrowed down to one month. Edit 5: On a hunch, I checked @roytam1's St 52 build from March 2021. And sure enough, that same CSS fix landed in the last week of that month. So, I downloaded the St 52 build - and it does render AVSForum correctly! (Well, not quite; as feared, there are other issues, but at least those giant graphics aren't present.) So, it's a regression: been fixed, but somewhere along the line, it broke again. It's getting awfully late here, though. I'm going to bed now.

Indeed it doesn't! It's now stuffed with so much bloat, they even managed to crapify it with "VK" app. From what I understand, it's some sort of a Russian dating website! The App is un-deletable, and Opera connects to Russian developers' website with very questionable content, not to mention that Russian social website.

Those two look also like the whole purpose of the accounts creation is far from technical aspects. https://msfn.org/board/profile/441008-c-care-preschool/ https://msfn.org/board/profile/440995-mike-lund-painting/

1ghz dual core with 2 or 4Gb of ram for Windows 11 IoT LTSC??!? Is this a joke?

That link was supplied by @UCyborg. I never heard of it before. I don't know whether it's official or not. Nothing to worry about. No illegal content there.

The win32ss account on GitHub was flagged for an unspecified reason. I am going through the appeal process to restore it, but I will make sure the repository surfaces somewhere else such as GitLab even if GitHub does accept the appeal.

I agree with you, and everyone knows: I love @win32, but then again, win32 has an account here, all it would take just a minute to post a relaxing comment! Don't you think? I mean, we (at least I) deserve this much. I was always loyal to win32.

My NVIDIA 6200 AGP grahics card seems to support H.264. Here is an official comparison table from NVIDIA: https://www.nvidia.de/docs/CP/11086/PureVideo_Product_Comparison.pdf

Yesterday, I did further testing of the hardware acceleration in New Moon 28, Serpent 52, Mypal 68 and Thorium. This feature now works in all of them but video hardware acceleration seems to be a problem. YouTube videos run best in New Moon 28 and worst in Thorium under my modest hardware conditions. Although video hardware acceleration has been enabled and confirmed in Thorium's chrome://gpu-internals page, it is more of a joke. At least, on my weak hardware. It does not accelerate anything and CPU utilisation is nearly 100%, regardless of the resolution.

Yes, of course. Both preferences do exist in my New Moon 28 installation and profiles. I also use the most recent but standard (for SSE2 and up) version https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20240525-d849524bd-uxp-f8f3b3ee43-xpmod.7z

And then you ask me why I disable all acceleration on my Titan (from the same 7 series)! I even have much worse result, it spikes to the max all the time. GTX770 is a re-branded GTX680, which would be 12-13 years now (or more). Probably try older drivers? People reported somewhat decent results with 347.26 or 355.xx (iCafe).

I'm using uBlock Origin 1.58.0 with the SSE4 version of Thorium Legacy on XP, and it seems to be working fine.

Hi, well, I checked again, and passwords are saved, but cookies aren't functioning.

Could be the engine is still at 109 chrome? All new uBlock versions work as expected in other ports.

I have noticed that the more recent versions of uBlock Origin, especially the version 1.58 and the development builds 1.58.x, do not work properly in Thorium. Thus, I went back to the version 1.49.2 as it seems to work as usual. All in the legacy SSE2 Win XP release of Thorium. Did anyone also observe problems with recent versions of uBlock Origin in Thorium?

Sorry, it's very late here, in Holland, I'll re-check tomorrow. Night,

You can try to transfer your Thorium profile from a flash drive to another one which both are formatted in NTFS. Maybe then it works.

Yes! But Opera devs don't allow to use them.

I hope you all know that a new profile must be initially created using the two portable flags, and don't even think to launch it without them even once!

The World's populace numbers are terrible, agree. "Thanks" to China, Russia, Latin America, Africa and India. I'm in shock how fast they grew in size in the last 30 years, of course if they don't stop to overpopulate the Earth, something terrible will happen to the planet. There's literally no place for animals anymore! In Europe, most of the land is occupied with farms. Thankfully, the locals don't spawn here like rabbits.

Unless you're suggesting that all this is an elaborate ruse, all you need do is watch the vid or ask me. The only loader i'm using is the batch file included with Thorium, the one I'm clicking in the screencap (THORIUM_PORTABLE.bat). It simply starts Thorium with the following flags, thusly: START "" "thorium.exe" --user-data-dir="%~dp0%\USER_DATA" --allow-outdated-plugins --disable-breakpad --disable-encryption --disable-machine-id. Now, I know what you did. You are using the flag --disable-encryption which is unsecure and not recommended. This is a flag which makes Thorium more portable, though. I do not use it.

Many issues in Windows are caused by corrupted or missing registry entries. From the very first in the 1990s, I learnt to correct such things. Especially, the installer and uninstaller of that time were often badly programmed and caused problems on a regular base regarding the registry. My Windows XP partition was created from scratch in 2004. It has existed since then without reinstallation only because of my maintenance and corrections. And the registry is particularly affected by this. For 100% portable use of Thorium, I have also backed up its registry entries and would create them if Thorium were to be run on another Windows XP computer.

That's already been solved, along with other fingerprinting defences like Client Rects, I sent you a message. Writing here, too, in case you read without logging in. Regards.

Yep! The new Reddit is the hell. 100% RAM usage on my system, and nothing works anymore. That's why I use the old Reddit via userscript there.

De-googled link without tracking. Can't you just play the video through MPC-HC with hardware acceleration (use Open With extension). From the release notes of v1.7.0: Thanks for your information! I have installed MPC-HC 2.1.2.18 on my Windows XP machine for months, and hardware acceleration is generally available in my system. Additionally, I have configured the 3D Settings via the NVIDIA Control Panel. Furthermore, I have enabled LAV Filters’Nvidia CUVID decoder for using hardware acceleration in MPC, and it works fine. However, more problematic is the video hardware acceleration inside browsers under Windows XP. It is running much better in New Moon 28 than in the others. PS: Thanks for un-googling the link! I posted it from my Android tablet, and there is everything googled as you surely know.

Like I already explained, it's something very strange because the page had been cleansed out completely, they made it look like nothing ever was there. We all need to demand explanations. And like Dixel said, win32 please get back.

I don't agree. When a takedown happens, they freaking write it was a takedown! A recent example was when they took down Rabinovitch's "cra_ked" Chrome and Opera. In this case it had been cleared out completely.

What about Ungoogled?
