The only BSODs I have had were caused by the 360Chrome browsers in conjunction with WiseVector StopX. Otherwise, I haven't had a single BSOD in years. Nevertheless, I am not at all surprised that most comments about BSODs in MSFN are found in connection with Windows XP which is the most modified and patched OS ever, full of ported and forked software. Just think of all existing system patches, the experiments with the ACPI.sys file, modified drivers and so on. Anyway! I used the 360Chrome browsers with rebased chrome.dll intensively the last weeks, without any further BSODs in my system. But one thing is crystal clear. The 360Chrome Browsers v13.5 have a Chromium engine 86 which was actually never meant to run on Windows XP. Therefore, BSODs do not really surprise me.

Latest Version of Software Running on XP
AstroSkipper replied to pointertovoid's topic in Windows XP
@UCyborg! Thanks for this tip! Works absolutely great! I extracted this file from the most recent release which unfortunately is no longer XP-compatible and copied it into the appropriate folder of my installation. Now, YouTube works much better than before. Thanks again! -
My Browser Builds (Part 4)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
You're welcome! Glad I could help a bit! -
You're right if you refer to these Googlized websites! However, this is not @roytam1's problem, but due to the browser architecture he supports. Even he cannot work magic and Moonchild, either. I give all these Google-infested sites to 360Chrome v13.5 build 1030 or my Android tablet to eat. But, my mainly used browsers are New Moon and Serpent, and maybe, Mypal 68 in the future. That's how it will stay for now, and hopefully for a long time.

As you probably already suspected, I can't really agree with you there, either. The 360Chrome versions here are no longer being actiively developed, the modifications are rather cosmetic, except for the innovative rebasing. All versions of @roytam1 are actively modified in their code, week by week, for which I am extremely grateful to him. Therefore, this comparison also stands on shaky ground. But however, I appreciate all your efforts here.

That is rather splitting hairs. You start the tool with the default ini file and it generates the address 0x62a00000 for chrome.dll which is logged by libase in its ini file. Seen in this way, the tool has "chosen" it itself. No interaction by the user. But, your further investigation is not uninteresting. I did not examine the calculation of libase's generated base address more deeply. I would do that only if something went wrong.
-
Yeah! I totally forgot. It is generated automatically by libase. My fault! If another address is wanted, one has to use Rebase from Microsoft. @Anbima! So, any deleting in the file libase.ini is not needed and does not do anything, either. I used simply libase without any additional settings which presumably can't be made by libase. It is just an automatic tool and does everything by itself.
-
Use libase! Rebasing is such a simple process and fully documented in the 360 Chrome threads several times. Furthermore, @Humming Owl provides an archive with a batch file to do that automatically. So, it can be performed by any user. Under these circumstances, I am not a fan of such spoon feeding, which would actually mean that the user is too lazy to read and do it himself.

Right! I use the full paid version. IDA is a good download manager and has been maintaining compatibility with Windows XP for years. -

I get a mega crisis every time any CF check is to be done in my browsers. -

I think the English version is called Internet Download Accelerator. I use it in Windows XP for years. Look here: https://westbyte.com/ida/index.phtml?page=download
