    I updated to the latest Serpent. In-place updates seem to go smoothly with this browser. https://i.imgur.com/9gE6b14.png

    I get the following: Timestamp: 10/15/2023 4:52:02 PM Error: uncaught exception: TypeError: Argument 1 of AudioContext.constructor '[object Object]' is not a valid value for enumeration AudioChannel. Timestamp: 10/15/2023 4:52:02 PM Warning: Error: WebGL warning: texSubImage2D: Conversion requires pixel reformatting. Source File: https://play.ninjadoodle.com/clickplaypics/scripts/c3runtime.js Line: 580 Timestamp: 10/15/2023 4:52:02 PM Error: uncaught exception: TypeError: Argument 1 of AudioContext.constructor '[object Object]' is not a valid value for enumeration AudioChannel. I don't know web development and how to interpret these errors. Some other WebGL runs, so it's not that simple that it doesn't work. Does the content from webglsamples.org run for you? OpenGL can run far more comples animations than Flash could on the CPU alone. Whether we need them on the web is another matter. I could download a game to the disk once with less effort than to tweak a browser. Simple drawings were faster in Flash than with other technologies. It was made back when Pentium II processors were in use. Remember gaming magazine front-ends built in Macromedia Director or Flash.

    For me it also uses 70% of Core 2 Duo in New Moon 28 under Server 2008 R2. I haven't been able to reduce the CPU usage. The "game" won't start in Serpent. The interface stays black and says 100%. https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html I can launch 1000 fish in Serpent. 5000 fish max out the processor and the image is choppy around 40 fps. If I configure webgl.disable-angle = false, I can only launch 500 fish in Serpent. At 5000 fish the processor is overburdened and yields 10 fps. It's baffling that they included a slow translation layer by default. The image is always choppy in New Moon 28, and uses around 70% of the processor. I don't know what is up with that.

    What is an example of a WebGL page that can be accessed quickly, to test performance? In the past I visited a few such sites and played a browser game, but I don't recall the names of them. You had to disable "angle" because it attempted to translate all the calls into Direct3D, with a high CPU usage overhead, for no reason. CPU usually gets maxed out with modern (and not so modern) websites, and must be conserved. On any normal computer, including with Intel Graphics, you can play OpenGL Quake, and on a "modern" PC, even play Euro Truck Simulator 2. That's odd that the Radio Browser works for you, but doesn't for me. It's probably something I configured with JavaScript indeed.

    Why does this website show a grey screen for me in New Moon and Serpent and not work? https://www.radio-browser.info/ It looks rather plain and ugly in Opium with mostly text-based UI.

    If you don't have a modern motherboard that crashes with normal ACPI, then you probably won't benefit from the update. If it the PC crashes during installation, you need to brutally include the file into the ISO/CD. The backup copy is stored in a folder called dllcache where you could delete it from to prevent it being restored.

    I couldn't get anywhere interesting on Lights Hello Enjoy. After waiting for a long time I could click Play, which brought me to a scene of a grey hills. Portions of them illuminated in pulses without interactivity or sound. A 3D scene is a modern invention and an old browser can't be used. The Archive is always very slow to respond, which is ok if I need to read a text or get a small zip. Feels like they have little elves that pick up a disk, dust it off and insert it.

    I'd call Opera 12 an old browser with some merits, such as integrated functionality without dependencies on plugins, and good performance on old computers with sites that don't have a lot of JavaScript (quite likely amongst archival content). To browse a site from the Archive in Opera 12, I need to copy its URL from another browser. I can't see the timeline of available snapshots above the webpage to select from. It used to be available in the past. Verta, does your e-mail service require the latest security protocols to access? If not, there are other more light-weight mail clients. For example, my e-mail server offers an alternate "insecure" access deep in the help topics, and I am able to use Opera. Maybe an old Pegasus Mail or The Bat.

    After I disabled CSP and re-enabled it, the site now redirects to HTTPS and loads (even while CSP is again enabled). It also loads when I directly type in https. It seems to remember some state from earlier, despite a cleared history. Normally I never type https colon slash, and just go with whichever the site is happy with.

    With security.csp.enable set to false, archive.org loads. What are the real drawbacks of disabling CSP?

    Thank you for checking AstroSkipper! For me, web.archive.org works too. I didn't know that the subdomain "web" could be used. In Chromium there are animated tiles on the main archive.org, which are probably too complex.

    Does the main page or archive . org result in a white screen in New Moon and Serpent for you? My configs are far from vanilla now to work around different issues. https://i.imgur.com/PmpyUFv.png

    TRIM for XP

    j7n replied to Dietmar's topic in Windows XP

    I meant a common SSD with a SATA cable and a standard driver, not the special Stchrom driver.

    TRIM for XP

    j7n replied to Dietmar's topic in Windows XP

    Can O&O Defrag trim a regular SATA disk under WinXP?

    I've never heard of that either. I suspect there might be a limit to the rate at which packets can be fetched, but not a strict round number for the resulting bitrate.

    If they only cared about drivers, and not to impose a restriction, they could have defaulted to /MAXMEM=3072 or some other number, and allow it to be lifted and observe system stability. Now the maxmem is hardcoded.

    I'd be curious if you could try Server 2003 and see if the problem persists. It is superior in most aspects.

    Perhaps the author forgot that the browser is overall quite wasteful and that the list is managed by a database, but vaguely remembered that adding an entry to the end of a list is simpler than deleting one and shifting the remaining entries into the freed space. So he had a bright idea to save some writes and processor.

    I think it's normal that the program hides or deletes previous visitations to the same address. I'm not looking for an incriminating log of activity within a certain period, but recent automatic bookmarks. I have added the settings, but time will tell if the history grows bigger. I can't get it past Last 7 days.

    Do I need to place these entries in user.js and not in about:config? user_pref("places.history.expiration.max_pages", 2147483647); user_pref("places.history.expiration.interval_seconds", 2147483647); I don't have a user.js file, where does it go?

    I don't know who installs image codecs at the OS level. Is there even such a thing? Microsoft had FLT codecs that only worked in Office. We probably won't see webP files being distributed outside of the web for images like album artwork in hopes of crashing Foobar2000. Any webp file I open on my computer in IrfanView I would have intentionally saved because it had real content. I've tried disabling WebP in my browsers in the past because usually it is transcoded from JPEG with an additional quality loss, but then I sometimes got no images at all.
  22. j7n
    If I set image.webp.enabled to false, some websites like YouTube stop loading images.
  23. j7n
    What harm could the webP vulnerability cause practically? Can they include a program in the picture file that does something useful? People seem to be worried about image viewers.

    I installed the extension. Can it increase the number of addresses to keep in history? My problem was that I remembered visiting a certain page, but not all the details, and it had fallen out of the history too soon. What is "async" in the context of Firefox. I understand how two processes can be asynchronous. But how does this term apply to the dyna,mic size of history? In Opera I have 50000 entries. It is endless. Sounded like Firefox admitted that their browser isn't particularly efficient when they decreased the size.

    I skimmed the quote and thought that he asked about executable files specifically. For images and sound there are players that most people know of, like IrfanView or Media Player Classic. Maybe QuickView had uses in 1999. It doesn't support new formats that were invented since then. I don't know about viewers for Office programs. There used to be a mini Word and Excel viewer by Microsoft, but I never used those.
