That's the problem: I wasn't stating my preference... what I was is called being ironic! Why is it almost no folks nowadays are able to even detect irony? And no, please, don't answer the above question: it's just a rethorical question. Now, what is literal is that the next post about renaming @roytam1's forked browsers in this will be deleted. That's way off-topic and totally pointless nowadays. So, please, stop. Do stop. Resist useless posting.

To prevent user confusion, I strongly recommend disregarding the tutorials and contacting me directly instead about the extended kernel. The original post appears below for prudency.

Let me begin by thanking you for continuing to deliver updated builds of your browsers, despite the recent major hardware hardships... (pun intended! ) Starting with last weekend's New Moon 28 package (linked-to above) and including this weekend's latest NM28 offering, I've noticed that 3 compiled files, all previously associated with Serpent 52.9.0 builds, have somehow slipped into New Moon's main app directory; these files are: Accessible.tlb AccessibleMarshal.dll IA2Marshal.dll I browsed quickly your custom UXP branch and did not find any clues there as to why these 3 files now appear inside NM28's main appdir ; if it's any info, these 3 files also do not appear inside upstream official compilations of Pale Moon 28.13.0/29.0.0a6; but since our fork has deviated somewhat from upstream, that fact may or may not be relevant... Mentioned files, as pretty much expected, continue to reside inside Serpent 52.9.0's main appdir (as well as in upstream official Basilisk 52.9.2020.09.11 ) Now, as a test, I went along and deleted those 3 "errant" files and latest New Moon 28.10.2a1 32-bit (buildID=20200918232718) launches and runs fine here (Vista SP2 32-bit, build 6.0..6003) without them... It looks as if those files are generated via a first stage Serpent/UXP compilation and are then added, by mistake, with other compiled files that are common/shared with the New Moon 28/UXP compile/build (possibly to expedite compilation of both UXP browsers...); if that's by design (and may I note that this wasn't the case with the previous [now lost] building environment), perhaps it would be best to remove those 3 unneeded (for NM28) files post compilation and prior to packaging/uploading... https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1653 Clean up Windows widget code https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/6f5cd8a [widget] Clean up Windows widget code some. Can you please elaborate a bit why upstream UXP#1653 was not merged? Would it have broken WinXP compatibility if it had? Being on Vista here (NT 6.0), could this have been handled slightly differently if it provides performance improvements on Vista+? (e.g. ifdef'd to load the code under Vista+ but not under XP?) Apologies if I'm asking something that can't be done... I'm really sorry to have to bring this up, but don't you expect "upstream" to hear about that? You are, at the end of the day, still building "unofficial" Pale Moon builds and upstream have modified that branding (which is their prerogative, it appears...). I won't pretend I understand fully the Open Source licensing schemes, but I smell (additional) trouble coming from upstream, this time from Moonchild himself With all said and done (and undone) in the past, I'd hate to witness any further escalation between "us" and "them", especially if it results in more restrictive action(s)/sanctions from upstream... What do others think on this? Finally, I don't use any of these forks myself, but out of pure (healthy) curiosity, what source do you actually use now to produce updated builds of? AFAIAA, upstream have moved to a private repository, so are you now just updating the platform (UXP) submodule/component, which is still public? Thanks for all your hard work and efforts , thanks in advance for any answers received... Best greetings

Yah, there's been a few times before where it took Big Muscle a while to update Aeroglass to support a new version of Win10. I think this might be the first one that it gets lapped. IE the October update will come out before BigMuscle had a chance to make it work with the spring update I ended up uninstalling Aeroglass as I'd deferred months and months of security updates to keep it working. If Aeroglass ever gets caught up again, I'll gladly reinstall it. For now I'm setting with a dark theme and accent.

what good SSD can we purchase now for XP ?? do we have to purchase 5 years old SSD's that will be hard to find ?? now a 120GB SSD does cost less than a 64GB USB memory stick so it's a good time to get some. I have checked all mainstream SSD manufacturers websites and downloaded their SSD optimizing tool but it doesn't run on XP. they don't even have a link for the legacy versions the Kingston website says that its tool works from W8 and up however I installed it with no issues Kingston is not my first priority nor am I sure their utility with a vintage looking has support for TRIM I know there are some after market tools for SSD but I think they will not be as good as the original one from the SSD manufacturer
