So it can read memory from Supermium itself right, not crash other programs by writing to their memory? I'd be more worried if it could crash my PC since I run as administrator. Could one really make a gain out of this reliably? Memory addresses change.

Another issue that may pop on XP SP1 systems is an incompatibility with an embedded XML "manifest" in executable files. This manifest says that program works with Windows version X,Y,Z and if it requires admin rights. With a new manifest containing a lot of things, Windows XP SP1 may BSOD. This can be solved by copying a later version of sxs.dll (KB921337) into the system directory.

There was a Corkami Trampoline DLL for running applications on SP1 (but not those that require SP3 with GetLogicalProcessor... ). I used it for a long time. But today it's time to reinstall a later version of XP/Server2003 if the PC is fast enough to load these web browsers. SP1 was good for like 256 MB of RAM or less.

Does this promise anything more than has been possible in Server 2003 without patching?

It seems to work. I can add [language=en] to my existing format query. It seems to also download videos that are not in English (at all) instead of failing.
Lately many videos don't download. It gives one of these error messages: an experiement is forced to use SABR, or all TV formats use DRM. It then proceeds to download a very big VP9 file without sound. I need to watch the downloader dosbox to see if the error happens, cancel and try again, perhaps in 720 pixel height to get a good video.

Can you download videos that are in another language but have an alternate audio stream in English? Sometimes Youtoube shows a title in English, I download the video for later viewing and I find that I can't understand anything.

I can pass the anime girl hash quicker than CloudFlare in New Moon, and it doesn't come back for some time. Cloudflare doesn't like when I switch to another application while it is milling. It wants me to keep it in the foreground and look at it.

Currently CatsXP says that Windows 7 is required. Are they gonna up that soon following other software?
These features were later copied into other browsers or extensions. But Opera had them in the 2000s first.
Opium and Supermium don't have troubles with Cloudflare. Some sites have a hard security mode, like Rate Your Music, and I just have to click the box every few hours. Other sites require it less frequently.

So there are voting buttons on YouTube and Facebook. Curiously how in New Moon the icons for negative votes don't immediately show up. They may appear after a delay. It is still possible to press those buttons. In Facebook, only the thumbs up and heart show. Among the negatives is laughter, sadness and anger (nothing worse). It looks like a push not to use those. Using New Moon in these places has gotten too slow, but I still stick to it because I don't want to open another browser all the time.

It was the best browser of its time with some much functionality that requires plugins on other browsers. Selection from within links, selective disablement of javascript, download resuming, urfilter, importing of certificates, saving of forms when pressing the back button. I still use new Opera (Opium) because it is at least as good as other Chrome browsers, and they added a few things to it.

Often you need to turn off javascript after the page is loaded, or it won't load right without it. I still use Opera 12 (very old) which allows this without an extension.

I search youtube on Google site:youtube.com. Search on the site itself brings up very approximate results that repeat. Too bad num=X argument just stopped working on Google. Maybe they read MSFN.

The most annoying situation is when I open a video, wait to skip the advertisements, then immediately seek on the timeline to a spot of interest without watching more than a couple seconds, and another set of advertisements then play.
I can't say that I remember those advertisements. With autoplay disabled, YouTube shows a static picture with some writing that doesn't burn into memory. I still have to wait to skip it. I think the new Opera browser was shown, but maybe that was a sponsored segment.
Since the blocking on YouTube is now very complicated, I haven't even invenstigated what I need for it, and keep that thing updated.

If you have a lot of RAM memory (to make use of PAE) that in itself consumes space in the kernel memory where a translation table is kept. Drivers allocate kernel memory for their own needs. For this reason /3GB might lead to instability with only 1 GB left over. /USERVA allows to tune the boundary to give a little more user memory, such as 2.5 GB.

I got rid of Tampermonkey now that there is an autoplay disablement. It seems to work only once per tab. Once a video plays, more new videos will play too.
When I go to Settings -> Search engines, I can open a dialog with Name, Shortcut and URL. But the URL box is disabled, which is barely noticeable with everything white. What is the point of this if I can't type into the box? It should be made to work. I want to add &num=50& to it to see more results.

Recent versions on New Moon can pass the check. But it takes a long time on a slower CPU and sometimes you need to refresh the page. That's just how it is now. The challenge is giving the client some processor workout.
There is also Supermium that is much faster.

What kind of computer and how much RAM does it take to compile New Moon today? We're trying to use this or that old PC, but RoyTam must have a Chinese Supercomputer running the latest Windows or Linux.

Horrible UI, slow, bloated, buggy, lack of notable new features, why bother? I'm using Linux if I have to get a new PC.
Is the GUI aspect of current Linux running applications notably lighter though? The increase in graphical overhead seems to be across the board in software.

Interrupted downloads in Supermium and Opera disappear. The file .crdownload gets deleted. This seems to be a new universal Chrome thing. In older browsers it was possible to examine and use the incomplete file or attempt to resume it if the server cooperates. Can we it working in Supermium too? Moreover, there is no error message when a download is gone. It is only visible inside the download manager as "check internet connection".

That tool will add the same registry entries to do what it promises.

What is different in the other installer? Is it a different built that only runs on Win10?
It means that the thing they found is known to execute commands, not that they actually detected coming from Supermium.
"Pleasant colours". You need a tube/valve powered video card with warm colors to counter blue light sickness. Haha.

Yes this generation doesn't support VP9. It was added in GTX9xx and only a base profile. With a downloader, h.264 can still be requested for most videos.

I get 0% video engine load on Windows 2008 R2. The GPU is irrelevant. "Use graphics acceleration when available" is checkmarked or whatever you call the sliding round knob. The CPU is cooking. It's the VP09 format that Google invented that is not decodable by the video adapter. Best to download video using YouTube-DL Plus and watch it in peace in Media Player Classic Homecinema.

The new Supermium so far seems to be working as well as before.

Sounds awfully complicated just to start a download. I'll let them figure it out as I don't understand any of it. We had sites with buttons for preview and uploading a long time ago.

I'm getting old. How is there a sound card inside an Intel processor? Where does it output the audio? Only on HDMI?
