    Good News! @feodor2 has just released a nightly build of Mypal 68.13.0. It's not beta or final, presumably less stable, but is supposed to have a much more up-to-date JS engine. Here is a link to the issue on GitHub: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/160 and the direct download link of the release: https://mega.nz/file/FfhCVaZJ#7Yt5Ai8lAz-KeGXBiNnfFcS61-5YVdztKxlPYdq7ZZg I am so glad to see progress in development of Mypal 68 despite the difficult circumstances. And then, an official release will come soon, presumably. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Since I don't know whether the guys (and girls?) from WiseVector have finally given up on their WiseVector StopX program or not, I have first completely deactivated it in my system, i.e. deactivated autostart of the program and its system service. Perhaps, they will reconsider their decision. After a deep research, I decided to give Panda Dome 22.00.00 a chance. This version is the most recent and fully compatible with Windows XP. Here are two screenshots of Panda Dome: So far, I am quite enthusiastic. The system load of Panda Dome is very low (lower than it was with WiseVector StopX), and the detection rate is supposed to be very good according to my research. I will keep you updated. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    You're right! It was Serpent 55 - D'oh! Yes, the screenshot was taken from my Serpent 55. My main browser is New Moon 28. If a website doesn't load properly there, I try Serpent 55 at next. These browsers can be customized exactly to the user's need. One reason why I love them and continue to use them. Only if both fail, I give 360Chrome a try.

    I have never used that code to clean up the CryptnetUrlCache in the form of a batch file. I am not a fan of automatical solutions to delete files. I usually do manual cleaning in terms of the CryptnetUrlCache when necessary, i.e., if there are correspondent errors in the event log.
  5. AstroSkipper
    If you mean the batch commands for downloading the root and revoked certificates, then I have to say they work as usual. I could download them a few minutes ago, and they are from 29.11.2022. No new updates since then.

    There is a working method to disable the signature check for add-ons to allow installation of unsigned or modified add-ons in Mypal 68 and of course other Firefox versions as for example FF 78. I implemented that in my installation months ago. Therefore, I am able to modify existing add-ons without any (re)signing. That was one of the reasons I could install the actually legacy add-on Custom Buttons in Mypal 68: In the screenshot of the just linked post, you can notice that there is no warning after installing the legacy, unsigned add-on Custom Buttons in Mypal 68. And by the way, disabling the signature check for add-ons to allow installation of unsigned or modified add-ons in Firefox/Mypal versions makes it possible to edit old abandoned or no longer fully functioning extensions and bring them back to life.

    Didn't you say it was a content security policy (CSP) issue? What now? Anyway! There are different situations I have to disable CSP. Ok! It's just best to check things out for yourself. It is definitely no Content Security Policy (CSP) issue. The website https://www.skyrc.com/Charger/t1000 works with CSP enabled in Serpent 55, too.

    And that is exactly one of the reasons I created my self-created custom button Toggle CSP. Here is the link: If the variable security.csp.enable is toggled to false (red icon!), the website https://www.skyrc.com/Charger/t1000 even works in Serpent 55. Look at this screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Yes, WiseVector StopX require SSE2 (tested on a computer with a Duron 1,6 Ghz last year). Regards I think whether WiseVector StopX requires SSE2 or not is no longer important. It has been abandoned by the developers. Their interests now seem to be focused on an enterprise version to make money.
  11. AstroSkipper
    WiseVector StopX has stopped updating (streaming and program updates) and seems to be abandoned as a personal version (for free). Here is the link to a post from WiseVector in the thread "WiseVector Free AI Driven Security" on MalwareTips: https://malwaretips.com/threads/wisevector-free-ai-driven-security.87965/post-1024875 I think that's it for WiseVector StopX. Anyway! A bit hope is still there, and we all know hope dies last.

    The second is true : Ok, just to clarify what I actually meant. I assumed @roytam1 updated the link in the form of a redirect, of course by reporting to eclipse.cx. He is logically (at least with probability bordering on certainty) not the owner of eclipse.cx and not able to establish such a redirect.

    The last XP-compatible version 7.2.35595.0 of eM Client Pro is much too old. It does not do anything. No access to my email service providers. This version is nearly four years old and that's definitely too much for an email client nowadays. Anyway! MailNews is my best choice on Windows XP and works perfectly with all of my email service providers. The browser's web interfaces of my email accounts are heavy on loading and sluggish, and a lot of them work only in a restricted mode.
  15. AstroSkipper
    I assume, @roytam1 updated the link in the form of a redirect, presumably to avoid having to manually change all existing links. This is an update, anyways.
  16. AstroSkipper
    @roytam1! In your first post of this thread, you referenced to your support thread on the eclipse forum. The provided link https://forum.eclipse.cx/viewforum.php?f=33 doesn't work, as this internet address doesn't exist anymore. After a bit research, I found your support thread under the new address https://board.eclipse.cx/viewforum.php?f=33. If I am right, this link needs an update.

    Just a reminder! There is already a thread about legacy extensions with the title "Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations": Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @roytam1! MailNews is a great email client and works perfectly with all of my email providers. It is exactly what I need to manage my email accounts under Windows XP. And the fact that it is based on Thunderbird 52 is even better. Thunderbird is very well documented and supports my beloved, legacy extensions, and additionally complete themes, dictionaries, search engines and so on. Thanks a lot for that!

    Actually, I wanted to test the email client OE Classic, but ads in outgoing messages and the limit of only two accounts in their free version are a no-go. That's why I tested IceDove, but unfortunately, it doesn't support OAuth2 or authentication by app password which means no access to Gmail by this email client. That is a pity and therefore not an option for me. But another candidate has long since appeared on the horizon that meets and even exceeds all my requirements. And that is @roytam1's email client MailNews, which is ultimately based on Thunderbird 52. This email client has a real, working Oauth2 protocol that makes accessing Gmail easy. For me, simply perfect and the best choice for Windows XP at the moment.. More about that in the next days! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    I installed the last XP-compatible version of eM Client (eM Client Pro 7.2.35595.0) on my system in 2019. It's a fully licensed version. I think it won't work properly with Gmail due to its age, but I didn't try it. It needs ProxHTTPSProxy to look for updates (using IE engine!). No good! Simply too old! The current release of eM Client is 9.2.1577.0 and of course not compatible with Windows XP. For more recent OSs, it is supposed to be a good email client, though. PS: I tested eM Client Pro 7.2.35595.0, it no longer works properly in Windows XP, not even with the simple email service WEB.DE. Uninstalled.

    To force the installer of DreamMail Pro 6.6.5.9 to use English instead of Chinese as the installer language, I created a small loader that does this when it calls up the setup program. It must be executed in the same directory in which the setup file is located with its original file name dmpro_setup6.6.5.9.exe. Here is the download link of my loader: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4bh4pybunlmr5hq/ForceEnInstall.7z/file Although some virus scanners detect this file as malicious, it is just a false-positive as always. Use my loader to force an English install, only if you trust me, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper I installed DreamMail Pro with my self-created loader to force an installation in English (default is Chinese) which worked fine. I tested DreamMail Pro wth two email services, WEB.DE and Gmail. The configuration of WEB.DE was easy and works as expected. The configuration of Gmail was a bit tricky. DreamMail Pro can only work with Gmail if the two factor authentication has been enabled in its account settings to get and use an app password. DreamMail Pro doesn't seem to provide a real Oauth2 protocol as MailNews does. But it works with Gmail, too. The documentation is only available in Chinese (for non-Chinese people not easy, you need Google Translator). The automatical creation of message folders and their handling by DreamMail Pro has definitely to be improved in the next releases.

    After my intensive research so far, I have come to the conclusion that the convenient use of Microsoft 365 necessarily entails newer operating systems like Windows 10+ and up-to-date email clients. Strictly according to the motto: Saying A means also saying B (translated German saying ). There are still other solutions like Mail Servers or externally adding protocols to email clients, but this is rather fiddling and beyond comfortable. Fortunately, I do not use the email service Microsoft 365, so my email services including Gmail work under Windows XP with existent, XP-compatible email clients.

    After reading the last comments here, I rather think we have to be grateful for every developer who still supports Windows XP nowadays. So I'm glad that programs like Pegasus Mail, DreamMail Pro and MailNews exist at all and are free of charge. They are of course not comparable to the email clients available for Windows 7+, but they work. The current release Pegasus Mail 4.80 from 14.02.2022 is still XP-compatible and quite up-to-date. The beta 4.81 is unfortunately not XP-compatible anymore. I extracted the installer and did a manual install as suggested by Dutch support, but unfortunately without success. The main program winpm-32.exe is the culprit and no longer XP-compatible. I am still in contact with the support and hope that maybe this will be fixed in one of the next releases. As we all know, hope dies last. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Thanks! That's a real service. I appreciate it!

    I consider myself more of a generalist. My subjects of study were mathematics, biology and Latin. So I am on both sides of the force. Linguistic skills are particularly useful in the natural sciences to gain clarity and to adequately formulate insights gained. In any case, I am very concerned about the impoverishment of the German language, especially among our youth, which is also caused, among other things, by the constant use of Anglicisms. And I have deliberately not abbreviated "by the way" this time to make a small point. But as I already said, we are moving too far away from the topic here and are unfortunately off-topic.
