  1. Thanks D.Draker, Karla Sleutel for the information. Still have limited knowledge on the Windows 7 OS and material. Using the last Firefox Windows 7 portable browser but would still like to have a second backup browser. Firefox works very well at this time. Thanks again ...
  2. 1.5 years? I'm afraid not, and I have the same question. I myself am also interested in the Brave browser. I found this today for a portable version of the Brave browser ... not that old ... December 24, 2023. Brave Portable / December, 24th 2023 - 138 MB - Open Source / Latest Version - Brave Portable 1.61.109 / OS Windows 7 64 / Windows 8 64 / Windows 10 64 / Windows 11 https://www.filehorse.com/download-brave-portable/ Is this OK or am I missing something about this download? Thanks ...
  3. Thanks for the replies. I guess I have a slightly newer version. It seems to be working OK. I'm more up on Windows XP than Windows 7 ... so it's all good.
  4. I am using uBlock Origin 1.53.0 currently ... just wondering if this is what most people are using or is there another better working version available. I guess I found this version last October during a search. Thanks ...
  5. This is just pure funny ... a six year old girl with knowledge of swiping her mother's fingerprint and then ordering stuff on Amazon. This girl has been very observant and a fast learner. Wonder what life will be like for the parents when she's ten years old. Thanks to 'the Finder' for posting. This happened last year with a five year old girl ordering from Amazon. "Young Girl Orders - Five Pink Motorcycles, Five Blue Motorcycles, 10 Pairs Of Cowgirl Boots And A Jeep." 5-Year-Old Girl Secretly Orders $5K Worth Of Items From Mom’s Amazon Account. https://theshaderoom.com/5-year-old-girl-5k-amazon-order/ Matthew McNulty / 04 April 2023 ...
  6. The Death of Security: Hackers Can Extract Your Fingerprints from Sound of Swiping Touchscreen https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/02/21/the-death-of-security-hackers-can-extract-your-fingerprints-from-sound-of-swiping-touchscreen/ Lucas Nolan / 21 Feb 2024 Researchers have reportedly discovered a new side-channel attack that can extract a person’s fingerprints from the sounds made when a finger swipes across a touchscreen. Toms Hardware reports that researchers from institutions in China and the United States have outlined an innovative attack targeting biometric security in a paper entitled “PrintListener: Uncovering the Vulnerability of Fingerprint Authentication via the Finger Friction Sound.” This attack utilizes the audio characteristics of a finger gliding across a touchscreen to infer attributes of the fingerprint pattern. more ...
  7. Yes, I understood that when I read everything earlier. Poor choice of words ... should have said "the program now works." Still glad you 'brought it back to life' with some useful changes. ...
  8. AS ... yes I intended to put AS ... yes, I forgot to put "Check My IP Address & Location 1.3" at the very top of my post reply. After I read your reply it came into my head that my VPN has a free Ad ware and Malware blocking program. There are about ten items that can be 'checked / unchecked' as needed or wanted. I unchecked the three items that I had checked and the program now works. I found the filter that was stopping the program from working and will leave that filter off ... it is labeled 'Ads + Trackers' and now everything is good. I had forgot about these free filters that my VPN provides. Been with them for over three years and I hadn't had any filter problems to my knowledge before. I don't need that one filter checked anyway and maybe anyone in the future with a problem can think of possible VPN filters to check. thanks for thr reply and help ... great program. Monroe
  9. Hi AstroSkipper, Just came across this 'add-on extension' by you a few hours ago. Downloaded and added (installed) the extension. I have the green and white button showing in the New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 browsers. Everything works fine with no VPN on or connected. The correct IP is shown. However, when I start my VPN then I get no information ... just this message: Unable to Retrieve IP Information. Please try again in a few moments. I have the program set to check every 5 seconds and a 'check-mark' to alert me when the IP changes. It's really a nice ext to add to the browser. As I said it works with no VPN connected and being that I didn't read where anyone else reported this happening with their VPN connected ... it's not a big deal to me. I keep an eye on the VPN icon in the taskbar and if it does disconnect ... the icon color will change. It's still a nice addition to the browser and is still useful to me. Thanks ... Monroe
  10. Just reading this, I have no Google accounts myself but could this happen with other accounts? I always delete cookies when I close a browser. If this is true and it reads like it is ... could be a game changer. Need to be more alert with banking and other such sites. I didn't see any mention of this already from last October. Hackers Exploit Third-Party Cookies to Access Google Accounts Without Passwords by Lucas Nolan / 9 Jan 2024 https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/01/09/hackers-exploit-third-party-cookies-to-access-google-accounts-without-passwords/ Security experts at CloudSEK have reportedly identified a new form of malware that exploits third-party cookies, allowing unauthorized access to Google accounts without the need for passwords.
  11. D.Draker ... thanks a lot for this information. I guess I am a little confused about MS not supplying anymore Windows 7 updates / support after Jan 2020 and Jan 2023 but they are still helping out with trusted and untrusted certificates. Since late October I have been checking for any Windows 7 updates and it always says "There are no updates available." or "Windows 7 is up to date". I'm on my Win XP computer now but will check out the links you supplied later today. Again thanks for the reply and help. ...
  12. Still mostly a Windows XP user but in September 2023 I decided to get a used ThinkPad Windows 7 notebook. I had mentioned this in another Windows 7 topic after starting to have banking and a few other website problems. After over three months I think I now have good understanding and feel for Windows 7. I finally got my good 'factory' or 'restore' DVD made with my settings and everything to my liking the first week of December. So I'm good to go if I should mess a few things up and need a repair job. I have this one question about Windows 7 Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates since the official MS updates stopped in Jan 2020. With Windows XP we are lucky to have the Certs updater provided for many years now by heinoganda. So what about Windows 7 now in 2023 /2024? I did some searching around over the last two months but really found nothing about updating Windows 7 certs. I would think this would be like Windows XP ... they would need updating also in Windows 7? ... right? thanks ...
  13. No I did not but I will give it a try. About 6 years ago I gave up on watching YouTube videos and started using Youtube Downloader HD to watch videos. I really don't watch that many. They have an XP / Vista legacy version but there seems to be no active link at this time. 'Support for older OS: Windows XP/Vista 32/64 (please, download special XP/Vista release)' Youtube Downloader HD - download videos easily / Youtube Downloader HD Portable Version http://www.youtubedownloaderhd.com/ ...
  14. AS ... just discovered this late last night. With all your instructions for installing this new version ... it went well. Thanks for this newer version and all your time involved. I put this newer version on New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 and it all seems good on my end. Thanks again ...
