    The only example you gave is a website where the user has to register. You said: "...more and more sites...". So please list here examples of websites which appear unsecure in 360Chrome and do not need any registering! Thanks

    What's good about this is that I always find time to smoke a cigarette and drink a cup of strong coffee or East Frisian tea.

    Correct, compact characterisation. It looks like the browser world is about to shrink a little. At least for me. Chrome 127 is definitely the end for me. A browser like that has to be avoided. And there seem to be many users who feel the same way. The reason for this is, of course, manifest 3 and the associated restrictions on extensions, which are particularly tragic for content blockers like uBlock Origin. Personally, I'm happy to use New Moon 28, Serpent and Mypal 68 and will continue to do so for as long as possible.

    There is no need to use ProxHTTPSProxy for all internet connections, even in Windows XP. Mypal 68, 360Chrome, Thorium, Supermium and all @roytam1's browser editions are capable of the TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols. However, the proxy is actually only needed for those programmes which are not capable of these protocols but need them in these days. Same applies to WU/MU, for example. Therefore, I use ProxHTTPSProxy only occasionally when really needed. And such cases happen, of course. Which sites do you need this proxy in 360Chrome for? Which sites appear to be unsafe for you in 360Chrme?

    I found a German forum site where the same issue was reported under Windows XP long time ago: https://administrator.de/forum/win-xp-ereignis-id-3012-loadperf-16362.html Use an online translator! Maybe, the solution at the end of this thread works for you, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    All @heinoganda's, @Thomas S.'s, @cmalex's proxy versions and also my packages of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu are based on whenever's ProxHTTPSProxyMII. All of them can be considered secure, of course. Or do you think I would offer here unsecure proxy packages? And first of all, credits to the original developer whenever.

    Which developer do you mean? Please, be a bit more precise! If you mean the extension developer, I assume he warns the user not to misconfigure the Proxy Switcher extension and not to use unsecure web proxies. Which proxy do you mean? If you mean ProxHTTPSProxy, this local proxy is as secure as Windows XP and direct connection is.

    I had to create for each domain a separate, new IF query otherwise it wouldn't have worked in my installation.

    @Anbima didn't say anything about that. If one doesn't make clear announcements, one can't expect to get exactly the information one needs. We are not clairvoyants. If the PAC script contains a different URL than the one you want to call up, you don't have to be surprised that it doesn't work.
  10. AstroSkipper
    For me. it works as it should. No. No green. Just insert the PAC script code! You won't get any confirmation messages. I really don't know what you are doing. All a bit strange. "example.com" is completely sufficient and exactly corresponds to the URL which you wanted to load.
  11. AstroSkipper
    No. What about that here:
  12. AstroSkipper
    Already answered by me: And since you made such a fuss about PAC here, the extension Proxy Switcher and Manager 0.5.0 which requires very little memory is the solution without having to switch the proxy manually when using a PAC script inside this extension.
  13. AstroSkipper
    That's not the issue at all. Most of developers and manufactors have stopped supporting Windows XP, and Windows 3.11, of course. That's not the problem at all. But to trash and ridicule special forks for older OSes such as New Moon 28, which is excellently maintained by @roytam1, is a no-go and shows a fundamental lack of respect.
  14. AstroSkipper
    The PM forum can take a leaf out of MSFN's book. We welcome everyone. You can get help here even if you don't use Windows XP or other older operating systems. For example, my thread "Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations" is open to anyone who uses legacy extensions, whether in New Moon 28, Pale Moon or whatever compatible browser. I also don't care whether the poster in question uses Windows 7, Windows 10 or even the crappy Windows 11. He will not be verbally punished in any way, even if I personally do not favour these OSes. That's how it has to be. But these Fright Wing and trollbat types from the PM forum won't understand that. Their horizons aren't good enough for that.
  15. AstroSkipper
    I didn't mean the digital world but the real one. The digital world is more of an illusion such as vitual reality is.
  16. AstroSkipper
    Any explanation what you actually wanted to express? I have no idea. It's always very interesting what is quoted from a post, even though it was more of a minor matter. The actual content tends to be ignored and seems to be of less interest.

    And for those over there who don't want to believe it and to be on-topic again, New Moon 28 is still my daily browser. It's blazingly fast on my old hardware, not on modern, bloated sites, of course. But on MSFN, for example, this browser is 'umpteen times faster than e.g. Thorium. And I am a very experienced Windows XP user. I know all the essentials and much more about this operating system after more than 20 years. I have never had a serious compromise of my system. Everything that is said about the dangers of using Windows XP today and in the past is largely based on ignorance and propaganda. But there are people who believe everything they are told. And if you look around the world, things are getting worse and worse despite a supposedly higher standard of education than before.
  18. AstroSkipper
    I don't know what exactly you are going to take my word for. But I know exactly what I'm talking about. This guy likes to write disparagingly, especially when it comes to MSFN, old operating systems and New Moon. Rudeness and negativity are the pillars of its character. Guys like this trollbat were the reason why I gave up my account in the PM forum and never posted there again. Good decision.
  19. AstroSkipper
    "The comment" looks exactly how this poor soul generally thinks, hates and writes comments about all MSFN related. It never ceases to amaze me what certain intellectual low-flyers are allowed to write there. Apart from that, the ignorant has no idea about Windows XP. And then it also wants to be a developer ...
  20. AstroSkipper
    Yep! I noticed that too during my tests. I will correct my post accordingly. Here is my working script for passing only example.com to the local proxy: function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (shExpMatch(host, "example.com")) { return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:8079"; } else { return "DIRECT"; } } This script can be enhanced to pass more than only one URL to the local proxy, of course. So, your question has to be answered with yes. It's me.

    Proxy Switcher and Manager 0.5.0 is the last compatible to 360Chrome due to the manifest change from 2 to 3 and works great. I tested Direct, Manual Proxy (set here the local proxy 127.0.0.1:8079) and PAC Script, and all worked as it should. So, a working PAC script (not a PAC file but a PAC script under the section Inline) can be inserted directly in 360Chrome. No need to do that in IE8 and no need to activate ProxHTTPSProxy in the system proxy settings of IE8 by inserting 127.0.0.1:8079 there. Simply call up ProxHTTPSProxy.EXE directly from the main directory of my package instead of StartProxy.exe! And that means by using this extension you can also use @cmalex's ProxyMII if you prefer a pure proxy without any comfort. BTW, all that was done in 360Chrome in a few minutes.
  22. AstroSkipper
    And @Anbima, IE8 is very old. I wouldn't implement a PAC file there. As @VistaLover already explained, IE8 has poor support when it comes to PAC files loading from disk. Install instead a proxy extension with PAC scripts support in 360Chrome as this browser doesn't seem to natively support it any longer. For example, this one: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/proxy-switcher-and-manage/onnfghpihccifgojkpnnncpagjcdbjod, and there are others, too.
  23. AstroSkipper
    Check the correct URL of the website which is supposed to use the local proxy! It should be example.com for testing and not *.example.com. But in the end, I don't understand the whole effort for just two websites. It would be easier to use a proxy extension to switch from the direct connection to the local proxy or vice versa whenever necessary.
  24. AstroSkipper
    Unfortunately, you are completely wrong. Extensions from the Pale Moon website are legacy ones for browsers based on Firefox up to version 56 as, for example @roytam1's browsers or Pale Moon itself, of course, whereas you need to install so called webextensions which you get from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Of course, you can install only those that are compatible with Mypal 68 which is based on Firefox 68. But on this website, you will clearly see which extensions are compatible or not. If you are interested in more information about extensions and more targeting Mypal 68, then you can read in my special thread I created exclusively for this purpose: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

    If that's supposed to be a joke, then it certainly wasn't your best. If you meant it seriously, then I'm afraid you're completely out of place here. Just a hint. Supermium -> Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes. So, either old browsers for old hardware under old OSes or browsers (not the newest ones) for more modern hardware under old OSes. Your choice, old or old.
