New version now released, Supermium 132.0.6834.224 R4. This release of Supermium includes various changes and improvements, including: (#1412) - Option to disable autoplay introduced in chrome://flags, #disable-autoplay (#1403) - --force-dark-mode option introduced to deal with possible issues with white flashes in dark mode. However, some flashes may still appear due to caching of previous page views (#1445) - chrome://version uses Supermium branding (#1441, #1433, #1398, #1400) - Small changes to default metrics, particularly affecting v109 and CR23 tab styles (#1438) - New tab button fixed in place (and the tab close button should no longer overlap favicons) (#1411) - Download link now appears by default in chrome://downloads, as opposed to referrer link (issue unassigned) - #disable-gpu-driver-bug-workaroundsnow available in chrome://flags Some small mitigations have also been introduced for crashes in portable configurations on Windows 7.

@K4sum1 Could you try again with the new update? An important issue was fixed. I tried in my Windows 7 VM with the following command: yt-dlp --no-config -f "(bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720])[vcodec!*=av01]" -t mkv "https://youtu.be/bCTObNkRGsg" And it gave me an mkv file with opus audio: Algemeen Unique ID : 57964954628617501393979581759164836982 (0x2B9BA4E945544816E3D80FC0D01CEC76) Volledige naam : C:\Users\Nico\I Built a Toilet Paper Slot Machine and It Actually Works!

True. Also sad, as that version really isn't that old. Today I found myself unable to log into my discover.com account using Thorium. Seriously? Perhaps a UAO would've gotten me in, but the discover.com site was not at all helpful with regard to minimum supported browser versions. I only tried a Chromium 125 user agent, which didn't work. Version 125 works with Chase, which is only reason I tried even that one UAO. As a Windows 7 user, it was easier for me to just try R3dfox, which worked, so I didn't pursue UAOs any further.

Yesssssaaa After soso much crazy tests and hacks I succeed with the Nvidia GT 730 graphik card for to boot XP SP3 with full 32 bit 3D graphik on the Arrow Lake Gigabyte board B860 DS3H under pure Uefi, means no csm at all. Dietmar

That fixed it for me, thank

I'm glad you like my article. Creating it and making the HTTPSProxies more future-proof was a pleasure for me as a die-hard fan of Windows XP.

You can find the download link for the CAupdater in my main article ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates.

The topic is about Win 8.1, but since there is no separate one for 8.0 I am posting the information here, it also works after very similar modifications (even GetSystemTimes is not missing, although this 8.0 is RTM without any updates, and 8.1 I use updated to the end of 2017)

If it doesn't work either, then I can add some checks to narrow down the problem. Btw: You got surprisingly far in the booting process. Once the graphic issue is solved, you will most likely see the graphical user interface of Windows 2000.

No, chainload not work: UefiMain Found Windows Boot Manager at '\u7.original.efi' Launch Loaded 'PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x2)/Sata(0x4,0xFFFF,0x0)/HD(1,MBR,0xD5AED5AE,0x800,0x32000)/\u7.original.efi' Launch Addresss behind FileImageHandle=C1B43718 Launch File does not match an EFI loader signature but I fix and compile special version U7 no load Windows Boot Manager - use verbose=1 in UefiSeven.ini to display this info on screen: but CSMWrap replace C0000 memory using VBIOS PCIe or SeaVGABIOS. I wonder if you compile a special version of CSMWrap that doesn't change anything in memory under C0000 and if Windows would boot into the vga.sys driver ? https://www.mediafire.com/file/o1mp9mbx11iyudm/u7nwbm.efi/file

It's probably the r3dfox bit at the end, but idk. Try experimenting with general.useragent.override.chase.com and general.useragent.override.discover.com and I'll add what works best to the next release.

On Win 7, R3dfox is now my preferred replacement for M$ Edge. I had been using the latest Edge version for Win 7 (109), with a UAO to Chrome 125, but that's no longer good enough for some sites (e.g., discover.com). I did find that Chase.com doesn't like the R3dfox slice in the user agent - or was it the OS slice, revealing Win 7, that it was objecting to? It kept telling me to "upgrade" my browser even though R3dfox is up to version 139! Well, either way, a straight FF 128 on Win 10 user agent satisfies both Chase and Discover, at least for now. It's ridiculous how bloody finicky some Web sites - particularly financial ones - have become. Security I dig, but way too many folks equate "security" with "only using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, and a version no older than a few months."

or: general.useragent.override --> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.6482.207 Safari/537.36 (works perfectly --> https://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ )

I described a few posts above what to do. In addition to changing the minimum version in the PE header of firefox.exe, you should swap a few imports in xul.dll and mozglue.dll, and you will be able to run the latest version.

guess i've already told u about that; anyway, after 11 my time I'll ask Virgus to explain it to u in more detail - not that easy, believe it or not. as far as the whole windows reduction process is concerned, have u installed win10 or win11 on a vhd yet? that is what I meant when I asked u whether u were ready for more. pls let me know.

new version is up

Thank you for such an exhaustive article for our elderly WinXP.

@roytam1 github problem if try use @

new version is up ! <3

It was already explained by @D.Draker, and it's because in Supermium, the author always "enhances" the colour vibrancy, that's it. In standard Chrome (or CatsXP), the blue colour is nice, no over-saturation, no "acidness".

It's the case since my kindergarten years, since at least a couple of decades, and this was one of many reasons for people to move to IDM in circa 2007. Looks like you used a browser from 2005 until now, That said, try CatsXP, it deletes the damaged file, yes, but interrupted downloads links don't disappear, you still can click on resume...

Looking forward to it! EventSetInformation is a Win8 telemetry function. Can block it completely. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/evntprov/nf-evntprov-eventsetinformation

The separate installer for Windows 10 and 11 was introduced to apparently mitigate some hard to pin down issues which only appeared on those operating systems. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/win10_11-test-v1 What the differences actually are, I don't know, but the separate installer has remained on all subsequent releases. I've never used it on Windows 10, because I've had no problems with the standard version.

Windows 11 Security claims it detected: Trojan:Win32/Bearfoos.A!ml "Details: This programme is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker." Someone explain pls, do I have to worry? How do they know it's driven by an attacker? It means it detected connections from the outer world? I'm scared... https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1399

Sorry for the off-topic, these are more beautiful to my taste, pleasant colours and look more like XP era drivers. 36x,xx has a more "moderm" look. Besides, 352.xx and 355,xx have the better Directx9 speed. 368 give nothing new to XP.

I meant your Nvidia Quadro M4000. What prevents you from using it with XP? Do you need drivers? D.Draker has them, I can ask. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/quadro-m4000.c2757

I don't need it, I've already replaced them with empty files, I just posted about it informatively. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Firefox-for-windows-7 includes a working crashreporter, if anyone want a 100% complete browser (and actually with unnecessary additions).

Thanks again for sharing further, detailed information! And as this thread is about proxies, you are absolutely on-topic.

No. That is not the case. When closing the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy from my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, its entries are automatically removed from the system proxy settings. If not, you did something wrong. Close the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy and check the system proxy settings by "Open IE Proxy Settings" in the PopMenu!

Exactly the opposite, simply letting certain URLs pass, can easily be realised. What you want is not actually the purpose of this proxy. If you only need the proxy for certain connections, only switch it on then and switch it off otherwise. It's as simple as that.

I got the same issue in New Moon 28 in the profile where my German Language Pack was installed. Eight obsolete entities have been removed, and one new (<!ENTITY aboutSupport.appBasicsCPUCaps "CPU Capabilities">) has been added. Therefore, all Language Packs have to be modified. I have just fixed my German Language Pack. The file which has to be compared to the English original one is aboutSupport.dtd located in chrome\en-US\locale\en-US\global\ and to be fixed in your Language Pack. Simply delete all experimental entities from line 28 to 35 and then add the new one to line 50! If you need help or more information, don't hesitate to ask.

If I may ask, what is this TestCrash427 supposed to be anyway? And what does it have to do with Mypal 68? In Google, there are no results for TestCrash427.

I usually do not use the YouTube interface in New Moon 28 or other browsers under Windows XP. It was just an experiment to see whether it is possible at all on my underperforming, old machine in these days. And it is still possible and above all, without ads or anti-adblocker messages. As I already said, I normally send YouTube links to one of my external players or download them with one of my YouTube downloaders. For watching them in legacy browsers under Windows XP I use Invidious or the extension uTube.

Ok. My first time. Confirmed. This video is definitely blocked until the age of the user has been verified. Greetings, AstroSkipper

YouTube videos in their native interface in New Moon 28 on low-performance computers in 2024 I made an experiment. Watching YouTube videos on their native interface in New Moon 28 in May 2024, all on my very weak hardware with Intel Pentium 4 single-core processor and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. I reset my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 and activated only some further default lists (Adguard Base, uBlock Annoyances, BPCF + script and my German locale filter lists). Additionally, I installed seven YouTube scripts from Greasyfork to get rid of crap and to style YouTube to my needs. I created one additional rule to cut off all comments when playing a single video. YouTube is completely free of ads. Videos are playing fine without any comments and playlists, isolated in single tabs in 360p quality. Always with autoplay off as I don't like such automatisms. Higher quality does not work well in browsers on my system. In any case, pure YouTube without any ads, ad blocker warnings or other crap. Perhaps, I should mention at this point that I normally never watch videos in browsers on my old Windows XP computer, but in an external player directly or downloaded beforehand. Then I am able to watch videos in 480p or sometimes even in 720p quality. Sometimes, however, I watch very rarely YouTube videos in New Moon 28 with the help of the great extension uTube. Here are two screenshots taken from YouTube in New Moon 28 when all configurations have been done: My new homepage of YouTube only for searching videos (Bye, bye unwanted videos ): And here is a tab when playing a single video: All is loaded relatively fast on my old machine. One of the installed scripts let me select the size of the player myself. Here it is set to the 480p size. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Thanks! I will test this flag.

True, but you can only directly configure Windows versions released in last 4 years or so to use DOH (eg. https://www.howtogeek.com/765940/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-on-windows-11/). Older ones require to use a sort of DNS proxy or special support from the browser side. In Windows XP, you can either directly insert the desired DNS service in the native network configuration window, or you do it more convenient with a very few clicks by using a third-party tool like, for example, ChrisPC DNS Switch. I use the Pro version which has more features and is more convenient.

Disable the flag #enable-webusb-device-detection!

I think you posted in the wrong thread. This is about @roytam1's browsers and not Supermium. There are no Chrome processes here, fortunately.

Please re-download the file uBlock-Origin-Legacy-1.16.4.34-special-mod-by-@AstroSkipper.xpi if you have already downloaded it and have fun! After installing, click the button "Purge all caches" if installing over the previously downloaded version 1.16.4.34! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Good Advice 2001 with Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen.

Yeah, but it's minus 0.23% because I didn't buy anything from them this year, too.

How much do you think would be a fair price for e-waste? GTX 680 is 12 years old, Titan is almost 12! Unfortunately electronic components degrade, capacitors dry out, etc. It's electronic waste now. The OP needs to check them carefully before buying, Lots of them could've been repaired several times to this date. P.S. And where you live, do they cost more?

For XP anything higher than Kepler makes no sense, Get something like GTX680, they are very cheap now. About 30 Euro. Or GTX780 for 50 Euro, Titan for 70.

It never worked good to begin with, even with Win10, I don't know about you, I'm not gonna cry about that buggy game, sorry.

Boots on the ground is not enough, one would always want to conquer hearts and minds. It was always the weakest point of all soviet strategies, but they learn and progress in that subject, hence the enormous amounts of money they invest in propaganda since 2000, I can say much more, but I shan't, since it's defo not for MSFN. On the other hand, it's 100% related to everything digital we now have. And what we have, all media has only one, left point of view. There's simply no right media anymore.

We got 'em! I'm here listening to MP3s on my X61 in Windows 98SE right now! This is awesome. Thanks so much, deomsh! The issue seems to have been that the AD1984 cannot handle volume set to the mx value and just shuts down the sound. I haven't tested the upper limit yet, but even the default of 0x27 is a bit too loud. I had actually tried changing that volume value in the HDAICOUT.HDA already, but there was still a separate volume setting in HDAcfg.ini causing the problem. Simply not setting a volume in HDAICOUT.HDA and setting it at $42004200 in HDAcfg.ini is working great, though. I also found that DAC_1 (widget $04) has to be used to get audio from the internal speakers. This makes sense now that I know what to look for in the AD1984 datasheet. Port D (line out/speakers) is only connected to $04 while port A (headphones) is connected to $22 which selects between either $03 or $04. A custom HDAICOUT.HDA is still needed, but with only a few verbs. unmute input on port A's mixer unmute output on port A select DAC_1 for port A unmute input on port D's mixer unmute output on port D enable EAPD on port D I think HDA2.DLL itself powers on and sets up the required DAC, so no verbs for $04 seem to be necessary in HDAICOUT.HDA. I'm attaching my working HDAICOUT.HDA and HDAcfg.ini files here. I left all the unneeded lines in HDAICOUT.HDA in case they're needed for future troubleshooting. Thanks again for all your help and explanations. This has made my day! HDAcfg.X61.ini HDAICOUT.X61.HDA

Hi JFX, Very nice tool as always. Thank you very much. Used to come this forum for more than 5 years as a guest. Today, I'm a new member here. Thanks to msfn forum leads. Wimb! Thank you as well. K Regards, ah
