I don't see why it would be, they are different exploits. I'm sure win32ss knows what needs patching and what doesn't.

Now, after @feodor2's versions cleanup, I was able to install Scratchpad 0.7.1 in Mypal 74.1.0 as a replacement for the removed, internal Scratchpad but it doesn't work as intended. The Scratchpad window is partially broken. No possibility to run JavaScript code. From this I conclude that Mypal 74 is not yet at the level of FF 72 or even 74 when it comes to extensions. @feodor2, am I right?

Today, I have installed and tested Mypal 74.1.0. @feodor2, thanks for this new version and for cleaning up the version number chaos! Good job! My favoured Alice0775 script loading method still works with this browser version as I have predicted in previous posts. And I am very pleased that the Custom Buttons extensions and all my self-created scripts also work there. However, one issue is still present in Mypal 74.1.0. Clicking entries in the Add-ons Manager does not work yet and leads to the well-known message that the address is not understood.

No, I don't, but thanks. I use VLC.

I read @D.Draker killed his B85 mobo with those originals, not sure about the fixed. What exactly did you fix?

Feature Request: Could you please add a Classic (Win 2K, 9x style) Start Menu theme, like Open Shell has. Or can anyone link to a 3rd party Classic Start Menu theme for SAB?

I tried some updates from 2015-2020, they all increased the system brightness. The same happens with Vista. Namely, the culprit of excessive brightness is SHA-2 2015 (normal update) and PosReady, too. windows6.1-kb3072630-x64_d5130670d4c9ce8618180fa8f2ce40401b9ca7e4

Fascinating article! I'd also be interested to how to make a very slim image without the original telemetry that was there in 2009 already.

这个我以前也注意到了，不过这个问题实际是Windows简体中文翻译或本地化的问题，因为sab实际引用的是系统日期时间控制面板的资源（timedate.cpl），具体为'@timedate.cpl,-1189'。 这个Second（应为“秒”）翻译成 第二个 的翻译错误应该是自Windows7以来就有了，估计可能是界面上没有吧，所以一直没人发现 。 同时上面的Day好像也应该翻译成周（week）而不是日（天），这个也是引用的（'@shell32.dll,-34830'）——或引用的不对。 那么怎么解决呢，要么作者调整下引用或修改添加到字符翻译里，要么自己修改系统的资源文件或sab资源。 我不知道其他语言（翻译）情况，看起来没人反馈吧，估计可能就是简体中文有这个问题。

1) new patchk32.bat handles this. 2) added but untested

Given that the yt-dlp issue tracker will only accept issues accompanied with a verbose log from their own release builds, I'm afraid any issues experienced with my build cannot be discussed there. Also, any issues with my fork will mostly also happen with the upstream build. So, first search their issue tracker to see if someone has experienced something similar. If nothing is found, then perhaps ask right here? Or, like another forum member had done, PM me. He had an issue with some Polish site and I was able to reproduce it with the official yt-dlp build. Then I opened an issue there and it was solved.

... And now yt-dlp have updated their random UA string to report Chrome 132-138: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/c59ad2b066bbccd3cc4eed580842f961bce7dd4a#diff-b6d91e8afdfc47fb2b59e37d22d3621b79d252bc5a8205edc2b80530dcceecc2

Definitely. ADB can be used to make or restore backups, and has access to some places that normal apps would not, so these backups can be more complete than those made by other methods. It can grant or deny various permissions. It can install or uninstall apps. It can explore directory stuctures, copy, move, rename or delete files within device storage or to/from your windows computer, change file permissions or ownership, or generally do most shell commands. It can remount read-only partitions as read/write (though you still need to consider how to deal with dm-verity on some of them like /system). It can reboot the phone into recovery mode or bootloader mode, useful if you want to change ROMs. It may be able to change itself to root mode, depending if Xiaomi left some config settings on that would allow this. It also has a "sync" function in addition to the backup/restore functions. I find myself using ADB at least once a month or so, mostly because that crippleware MTP mode does not always preserve file timestamps correctly, where using ADB does. I have not looked into Xiaomi in particular, but that arrangement sounds typical for getting a bootloader unlocked. While it is not directly rooting, it is typically the first step in either rooting or in installing a custom ROM. One thing to get clear about before you do that, is for some vendors, requesting that unlock will void whatever manufacturer warranty the phone had, so best to check the rules before asking. My guess here would be that their web site is coded to want Chrome, and the needed functions are missing in whatever older browser you tried. If you don't like Google Chrome (I sure don't!) there are other chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. Brave ver 1.47.186, while not the most current, does run on W7 and is my go-to browser when my preferred SeaMonkey can't cope. Others might include Chromite, Vivaldi, etc; you can probably find a thread elsewhere on these boards about browsers still running in W7 for more ideas. Yeah, that is part of what I meant about the hassle factor. The card itself is usually pretty sturdy and not likely to break. But if your phone has one of those little pop-out trays that hold both cards, that thing is a lot more delicate and definitely prone to breakage, assuming it doesn't just get lost. I usually just install the card once and leave it in permanently, since ADB is simple enough for me to copy stuff out with. Yep. Even worse, for my FroYo device, doing this has about 50% odds of causing the phone to reboot, so I have to unplug everything, wait for it to finish, and start over. There's no real reason why the procedure to unmount and remount a partition should fail so often for androids when it is very reliable on Linux desktops, but apparently Google preferred to do away with it entirely rather than debug the actual problem here. Somehow desktop Linux systems solved this problem a long time ago and routinely stop trying to access a partition that is unmounted. I don't know why the same solution never made it into the android kernels. Oh, I just thought of another... if you have a USB-OTG adapter that fits your phone's USB port, you can plug in a standard USB thumb drive and use something like Ghost Commander to copy files in and out.

So, long story short. The Project VORAPIS 0.9.0.0 script works fine in Mozilla based browsers like New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 which are the browsers this thread is about. And it also works in Mypal 68, all tested by me.

Webp is known to contain viruses, Chrome was patched, and was this codec patched? Nevertheless, not sure if it's a good idea to include it as a system wide codec. In details, below: https://msfn.org/board/topic/185031-webp-virus-fears-nightmares-suggestions-or-exodus-from-the-internet/

Had a good laugh at the guy that claims to be from Southern Europe, writes Yandex is known for aggressive fingerprinting, yet tries to access it with such a zeal. Here's that extensive guinea pig test for either of you. Thank you and kudos to the tester.

Got the same.

Revo Uninstaller Pro is great. I have the last XP-compatible version 3.2.1 installed. If I had used this tool and not just that junk uninstaller which came with Wise Anti Malware, then I probably wouldn't have had that problem with the driver corpses and the resulting Thorium crashes. That's a very good idea. @Dixel Thanks again for pointing to the more recent NVIDIA graphics card driver in the version 370.90! This one is now installed in my native Windows XP Pro 32-bit system. Runs great.

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.

Indeed, it would be interesting to see what kind of Windows XP projects you made so far. Did you already release some of your projects, for example, on GitHub? Are your projects open source?

You should use New Moon 28 or Serpent 52 in combination with uBlock Origin Legacy and suitable filter lists enabled. A more recent user agent can't hurt, either. Mypal 29 and Firefox 52 are much too old.

Ok. No problem.

Or have I overlooked something?

Is this browser equipped with its own set of certificates? Looks like so.

@UCyborg You are absolutely right. MSFN uses definitely responsive design. I have installed a nice extension called Window Resizer and set up the same resolution as on my tablet. In portrait format, I now get the same, mobile view as on my tablet. Here is a screenshot with mobile view in Thorium under Windows XP simulating my Android 9 tablet: In this mobile view, MSFN websites called up in Thorium are more responsive and faster in loading than in desktop view.

Yep! Exactly! And I'm no longer in the mood for that.

Thanks but I already know that all. I was one of the first to be involved in testing that re-basing when @UCyborg suggested this method for Chrome360 after my observations in terms of its enormous RAM usage on my old Windows XP computer. The good is that Thorium is already well configured inherently when it comes to RAM consumption.

On my system, the 360Chrome 11.0.2031 worked really well. The version 13.5.1030 rebuild 7 worked relatively well but only when the chrome.dll was rebased. The site loading times were much worse than in version 11.0.2031. In contrast, Thorium doesn't need to be re-based by the user and consumes much less RAM than normal Chrome versions. The standard loading behaviour is an other history, unfortunately. However, this browser was never made for my old system, either. But as I already mentioned, I found a convenient way for me to let websites loading much faster. More about this soon!

Yep! It works as it was designed. But personally I don't like this design. TZ Clock only shows the time and date when clicking onto the toolbar item. In contrast, my Clock custom button shows the time in the toolbar itself and when hovering, the weekday and date. But in the end, it's always a question of taste.

Coefficient Analysis

Actually, the About: Menu custom button should work in Serpent 52, too. When I am back at my desktop computer, I will have a look at this. In New Moon 28, however, I can definitely confirm that this custom button works as it should. Generally, most custom buttons tested by me should work in both browsers. But, of course, we all know the proof is in the pudding. I have just tested it and have unfortunately to confirm your observation. Although there is the compatibility string of Firefox {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} inside the code of the About: Menu custom button, the menu of all about: pages does not open in Serpent 52. The button was created many years ago, though. Therefore, it definitely was developed for much older Firefox versions (< 52). That's presumably why it is still working in New Moon 28. But there are still alternatives in the form of extensions for Serpent 52 which can be tested. I will have a look at that later.

Well done! Your Dutch colleagues will be delighted with such a service. BTW, I already mentioned this issue here two weeks ago: https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/?do=findComment&comment=1258614 I have fixed my German language pack the day I posted this issue. This corrected language pack has been in testing mode since then. I will post it when testing mode is over, and all is definitely working. So far, no further issues.

That's absolutely true.

Thanks, but I think it's not that script win32 wrote about, it looks like a custom made one.

@Fightingfalcon Now, you may understand why it is better to post a problem publicly. The more read your request, the better. @UCyborg You now know my opinion of Epyrus and its developer. But still, from a purely technical point of view, good job!

Thanks for the hint! But who says I wouldn't use this test site? I know both and some others but I don't want to post all of my results. BTW, I got a score of 99% on this site.

You're welcome. To get good blocking results the combination of the used filter lists is very important. But in some cases, one has to create additional filters under "My filters" to get rid of more or at best all ads.

I wish nice holidays to everyone!

I'd like to read that article where "all security experts considered" this, thanks.

There's simply not enough trouble free and fast file hostings.

I guess 3.5 would be enough since he wanted 3.2.
