Thanks for your reply! Why do you talk about Serpent? The file installs.ini with this install ID I observed only in Mypal 68's folder located in C:\Documents and Settings\*\Application Data\Mypal68\.

Hello, @XPerceniol! Unfortunately, I can't figure out your answer. Did my post above help you in solving your issue with creating of an unnecessary profile or not?

Cool! Snake oil! Everywhere the same discussions! Superfluous and leading to nothing! In my system, Firemin Portable 6.3.1.5105 helps me a lot in reducing Mypal 68's RAM consumption. Chrome browsers in Windows XP, I only use very rarely because they are the worst RAM consumer ever. IMHO, Mypal 68 in single process mode, managed by Firemin in the background, behaves much better than without it, most particularly in a slow system which is low on RAM like mine. No more and no less! Roytam1's browsers do not need Firemin. They are much less RAM consuming than Chrome browsers or Mypal 68. Sorry, but that's the truth! And one thing is clear, no pictures about RAM consumption from me! I do not waste my time with nonsense! I have more important things to do! No one is forced to use this tool, and everyone can make their own experiences. Firemin is Open Source and therefore at no costs. I just wanted to help and nothing more. I provided a download link of a version which was requested by a user and wasn't available in the internet anymore. Take it or leave it! Anyway, you could investigate it in detail, of course! It's your speciality, isn't it? Have a nice day! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @Mathwiz! Thanks for your detailed reply! I am fully aware of the subjunktive mood and its meaning even as a non-native English speaker. And, I am able to distinguish between subjunctive mood, conditional forms and future tenses in grammar. But, thanks for your additional explanation! When I read your comment first, I found the usage of your "potentialis" a little unclear, as a simple look at palefill's install.rdf makes everything clear. But no problem, @VistaLover explained it in detail. Anyway, if I can ever repay you for your English grammatical instruction in my native German language, I would be very happy and am at your disposal at any time. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Hello @mina7601! In your case, absolutely nothing because of your high-performance laptop with 32 GB of RAM! This tool is meant for a user who is low on RAM like me with only 1.5 GB of RAM on my old, beloved Windows XP computer. It permanently reduces the browser's memory consumption in the background, but cannot work miracles. roytam1's browsers consume less RAM than the Chrome browsers and, unfortunately, Mypal 68, too.

Hello @XPerceniol! I will try to help you. When I had installed Mypal 68 the very first time, I also had the issue that an unneeded profile folder was always reinstalled. I solved it by editing the file profile.ini located in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\*\Application Data\Mypal68\. The special character * is in your case the string DELL. Here is my modified code of the file profile.ini: [Profile2] Name=Default IsRelative=0 Path=D:\Eigene Dateien\Mypal\Mypal68\Profiles\Default [Profile1] Name=Test IsRelative=0 Path=D:\Eigene Dateien\Mypal\Mypal68\Profiles\Test [Profile0] Name=Mypal68 IsRelative=0 Path=d:\Eigene Dateien\Mypal\Mypal68\Profiles\Mypal68.12.2 Default=1 [General] StartWithLastProfile=0 Version=2 [InstallE2373D2F645B4BBF] Default=d:\Eigene Dateien\Mypal\Mypal68\Profiles\Mypal68.12.2 Locked=1 As you can see, I have three different profile folders on the drive D:. The current loaded profile is in my case Mypal68.12.2 and set as default. I never install profiles into my system partition. If the partition was faulty or not bootable, all data would be lost. I always separate Windows and the programs from my data. Try to manipulate your profile.ini similarly, and no new folder will be created anymore. That happened in my case. There is a second file in this folder named installs.ini. with the following code: [E2373D2F645B4BBF] Default=d:\Eigene Dateien\Mypal\Mypal68\Profiles\Mypal68.12.2 Locked=1 After modifying in the way above, no new profile folders will be created anymore. I always update the already existing Mypal 68 installation by copying the new files over the old ones. All existing profiles remain, and no new ones are added. Hope I could help you! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @XPerceniol! Here are my settings in Mypal 68 referring to canvas: As far as I can see, our settings are identical. Whether changing these settings have a real effect, I don't really know. especially due to the development state of this browser. Trial and error is presumably the game, or a statement of its developer @feodor2. Hope I could help you a bit!

OT, too! This morning I looked at a brochure from ALDI and there, in the online shop, they offer a gamer laptop with 1 TB SSD, 32 GB RAM, Intel Core i7 12700H and NVIDIA Geforce 3070 Ti laptop GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM for 2299.- €. No neighbourhood of 1000 Euros! ALDI?

Thank you for the clarification, @VistaLover! I already feared that martok would undo these modifications. On the other hand, it is easy to modify such things yourself.

Hello, @XPerceniol! The article about DNS over HTTPS (DoH) I read was linked by @NotHereToPlayGames and very informative. I couldn't find it last night because it was in this thread here. Read it and you know what I mean! DoH, no way! Cheers, AstroSkipper

When I installed the latest version 1.19 of Martok's palefill add-on in NM, I didn't have to modify install.rdf to allow its installation. Same for the version before. He changed it in the past. Or does he want to revert his modifikations?

@XPerceniol! Forget about "dns over https"! It is not as secure as it seems. I read an article about it, and this technology is immature! PS: Sorry for mentioning @VistaLover! My editor in my browser got totally crazy. It didn't react and deleting didn't work, either. I clicked more times, and suddenly, there was @VistaLover!

In my Troubleshooting information page, I see Disabled forcibly! for the Launcher Process.

Yes, and that was the reason why I replied with No. I will stay on my old, slow, and beloved computer, of course. More recent hardware, more recent OS which means no Windows XP on that computer. Unfortunately, that is exactly the real problem. On new hardware, old OSes are nonsense. Old OSes can't really handle new hardware which they are not developed for. That's the truth! Here in this forum are a lot of people trying to install Windows XP, or much worse, Windows 98, on a brand new machine. Nonsense, unfortunately! But, each to his own, a second time today! We all can do what we want to. Even if it doesn't make any sense at all!

That's good. No, not really, but necessary, unfortunately!

In this case, you do not need my program package. Take @cmalex's original archive of ProxyMII which contains the naked proxy without any comfort or additional features. The settings of the proxy have to be done by yourself, no automtism as it was the case of ProxHTTPSProxy. Each to his own! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @RainyShadow! Thanks for your reply! All is described in the documentation of the downloadable archive. Have a lot of fun! It's totally easy to setup because I have programmed a fully automatical tool!

Hello, are you really still using the ancient, long unsupported Firefox 52.9.0 ESR? And if so, may I kindly ask why? Anyway, it's simply unsecure and definitely not to be recommended due to the lack of security updates! BTW, MSFN is also fully functional in New Moon 28 (2022-08-05)! And presumably, in all other roytam1's browsers, too! Cheers, AstroSkipper

@RainyShadow! Everything has been updated as you have desired in your post from 5/31/2022. ProxHTTPSProxy is now based on OpenSSL 3.0.5 and Cryptography 3.4.8. It provides all TLS protocols from TLS 1.0 up to TLS 1.3 and its corresponding, most recent ciphers. A CPU with SSE2 instruction set is no longer required, SSE only is sufficient. Furthermore, my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu has been changed completely, improved, and extended, too. BTW, it is quite a bit more than a launcher. And, what do you say now? Cheers, AstroSkipper

Alright! That's really powerful! @mina7601 BTW, I have other more powerful computers but I do not use them. Frankly, I don't like the more recent OSes. Sometimes, if necessary, I use a Windows 7/Windows 10 dual boot laptop. But I'm going to start building a more current, by no means cutting edge computer soon. Just for the purpose of doing things I can't do with my old beloved computer. The parts have already been bought.

@mina7601! And now your hardware specs, only if you want to tell me, of course!

@mina7601! Is that slow and low-resource enough for you?

My Windows XP computer is equipped with a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Northwood single core CPU and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. No SSD, no SATA but IDE harddisks. My graphic card is a NVIDIA 6200 AGP 4x one if you know what that means. The RAM can't be extended. Only three slots, and there are no 1 GB modules. The computer itself and especially the motherboard was manufactured in 2000. It's survived fires and other events before. I repair everything myself. I love my old machine! PS: And I can't send him into retirement. He has been with me for 22 years, and that would not be fair. The computer was originally delivered with Windows ME, and the partition still exists.

I corrected my post, Firemin Portable 8.2.3.5338 is Windows XP compatible, too

I didn't give you only a version number, I said Firemin Portable in the version 6.3.1.5105. I already offered to upload this version one week ago, but you didn't reply. This version is not available in the internet and by using the Wayback Machine anymore, either. Anyway, the next time, I'll be running my desktop computer I'll upload this version for you and other users. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: On Rizonesoft's download site, are always two versions offered, an installer and a portable version of Firemin. @ADMM Rizonesoft's Firemin Portable 6.3.1.5105 is the last version of the series 6 and Windows XP compatible. It is Open Source and a useful tool if you are low on RAM resources, and works with nearly all browsers, AFAIK. The purpose of Firemin is to reduce the RAM usage of the browser, all controlled by this tool in the background. Here is the link of the archive uploaded by me: https://www.mediafire.com/file/34exiyav9zcoxkp/Firemin_5105.zip/file I tested the most recent version Firemin Portable 8.2.3.5338, and although the website stated a compatibility from Windows 7 or higher, it works in Windows XP, too. Here is the link: https://www.rizonesoft.com/download/3951/ Cheers, AstroSkipper
