    I have just updated the Chrome XP API Adapter from version 1.2.0.5035 to 1.2.0.5045. Now, the page chrome://system/ works as it should and shows besides other information the RAM usage more compact than using the internal task manager. I have opened two tabs and eight extensions enabled in Thorium. The total RAM consumption is around 381 MB, also checked via Process Hacker. Here is a screenshot: I think such a RAM consumption is appropriate for a modern Chrome browser under Windows XP and remains within reasonable limits. However, the page loading behaviour in Thorium is still far away from the one in New Moon 28 or Mypal 68 on such an old, weak computer like mine. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    There are still other options if Legacy Update doesn't work for you on Windows XP. Take a look here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183498-general-and-specific-solutions-for-problems-regarding-auwumu-in-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1216506

    I checked again all three extennsions. My favourite is Autoplay Whitelist. This one memorises all permitted websites in a whitelist.

    @Kmuland Another great extension to easily adjust rather hidden settings of your New Moon 28 browser is Pale Moon Commander in version 3.0.1. This extensions also offers performance settings. An interesting and also effective measure in reducing RAM usage is rebasing the file xul.dll from New Moon's programme folder. Personally, I do that each time a new version is released. The tool I use for rebasing is libase. And finally, I'll post here soon another nice custom button which also helps a bit (especially after the starting the browser) to minimize RAM usage of legacy browsers.

    There is a lot that can be done to improve New Moon 28 on computers low on resources. The extension Custom Buttons is very low in consuming resources. Once installed, you are able to use some custom buttons to improve the performance of New Moon 28. Read here: Toggle GIF Animation, Pref Toggler and Restart & Purge. One idea is to disable all animations and autoplay functions. Set the pref image.animation_mode from value normal to none! And then use the custom button Toggle GIF Animation to temporarily enable such animations when needed. And I would recommend one of the PM extensions to control media autoplay. There are three candidates. Try them and decide yourself! Furthermore, you should consider to use the script manager Greasemonkey 3.31.4. By using scripts you can improve web compatibility, solve problems or annoyances and much more.

    Just for clarification: No more, no less. In such cases, an IP change should solve it unless the computer is really sending too many requests to the affected server for whatever reason.

    None of the extensions I listed just for you are unknown, of dubious origin or even harmful. They all are well-known and simply the last versions which are compatible with Serpent 52. But if you harbour such thoughts and doubts, you should stay away from scripts. Because the security risk is not posed by the well-known and absolutely trustworthy script managers , but by the scripts themselves, which are written in JavaScript and whose code can only be read and evaluated by someone with in-depth knowledge of this programming language. Scripts can cause damage and should only be obtained from trustworthy sources or programmed yourself.

    The following rule has been proven to be true time and again in my past: The more spoon-feeding , the more demand for convenience. I think every member should do a proper research on their own first. If this fails, then asking is perfectly fine. Finding links for extensions whose name and version is already known is not particularly difficult and should be feasible for everyone.

    I noticed compatibilities issues to the Tab Utilities extension in New Moon 28 and some other problems with crashing or not correctly unloading tabs as in the PM fork Suspender.
  10. AstroSkipper
    @Kmuland On such weak systems like yours, you have to adjust much more than on more powerful ones. Install uBlock Origin Legacy and only absolutely necessary extensions! The less, the better. Defragment your complete system partition and don't forget to adjust your pagefile! It shouldn't be fragmented as well. Personally, I tried all extension for memory optimisation but most of them did nothing useful. I use an external RAM manager called CleanMem Pro which frees up RAM that is not used but not released. And most important is to open only very few tabs and/or a tab unloader like Lull The Tabs. I prefer an older version 1.4.3. For the management of websites, I use OneTab and Speed Dial to have only opened the absolutely necessary tabs.
  11. AstroSkipper
    But if you are getting low on RAM and no disk cache is available, where is New Moon 28 supposed to write its cache files? TBH, that does not really make sense to me. Maybe, it is better to create a small partition only for caching files by browsers and defragment it on a regular base for performance reasons.
  12. AstroSkipper
    Right! That was why I asked about his capacities for file storage. In general, I don't think it would be a good idea to disable disk cache on devices with little RAM.
  13. AstroSkipper
    And what about capacities for file storage?

    My German language pack for New Moon 28 - Fixed - Part 4 My last German language pack 28.10.0rc5 from this post had to be fixed again. As reported here by @nicolaasjan, there is a new issue under the menu item Hilfe -> Informationen zur Fehlerbehebung in the most recent release 28.10.7a1 (32-bit) with build ID 20240509133920. Here is a screenshot to demonstrate this issue: I have fixed this issue and assigned the number 28.10.0rc6 to the new, corrected version. Here is a screenshot taken from the fixed version: And here is the download link of the updated, German language package in version 28.10.0rc6 for the more recent versions of New Moon 28 starting from build ID 20240509133920: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3ffij6q50yi2wjb/de-28.10.0_RC6.xpi/file Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

    You are not off-topic. Me too. My hardware specs are: Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.80 GHz CPU (single core, 32 Bit), only 1.5 GB SD-RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphic card with 256 MB. All hard disks are connected via IDE. What are yours?
  16. AstroSkipper
    This link worked for me: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass/raw/main/dist/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass.user.js In Serpent 52, you can, for example, use Tampermonkey 4.11.6120, Violentmonkey 2.14.0 (needs a small fix) or Greasemonkey 3.31.4 from the fork branch.

    I got the same issue in New Moon 28 in the profile where my German Language Pack was installed. Eight obsolete entities have been removed, and one new (<!ENTITY aboutSupport.appBasicsCPUCaps "CPU Capabilities">) has been added. Therefore, all Language Packs have to be modified. I have just fixed my German Language Pack. The file which has to be compared to the English original one is aboutSupport.dtd located in chrome\en-US\locale\en-US\global\ and to be fixed in your Language Pack. Simply delete all experimental entities from line 28 to 35 and then add the new one to line 50! If you need help or more information, don't hesitate to ask.

    If I may ask, what is this TestCrash427 supposed to be anyway? And what does it have to do with Mypal 68? In Google, there are no results for TestCrash427.

    I usually do not use the YouTube interface in New Moon 28 or other browsers under Windows XP. It was just an experiment to see whether it is possible at all on my underperforming, old machine in these days. And it is still possible and above all, without ads or anti-adblocker messages. As I already said, I normally send YouTube links to one of my external players or download them with one of my YouTube downloaders. For watching them in legacy browsers under Windows XP I use Invidious or the extension uTube.

    Ok. My first time. Confirmed. This video is definitely blocked until the age of the user has been verified. Greetings, AstroSkipper

    YouTube videos in their native interface in New Moon 28 on low-performance computers in 2024 I made an experiment. Watching YouTube videos on their native interface in New Moon 28 in May 2024, all on my very weak hardware with Intel Pentium 4 single-core processor and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. I reset my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 and activated only some further default lists (Adguard Base, uBlock Annoyances, BPCF + script and my German locale filter lists). Additionally, I installed seven YouTube scripts from Greasyfork to get rid of crap and to style YouTube to my needs. I created one additional rule to cut off all comments when playing a single video. YouTube is completely free of ads. Videos are playing fine without any comments and playlists, isolated in single tabs in 360p quality. Always with autoplay off as I don't like such automatisms. Higher quality does not work well in browsers on my system. In any case, pure YouTube without any ads, ad blocker warnings or other crap. Perhaps, I should mention at this point that I normally never watch videos in browsers on my old Windows XP computer, but in an external player directly or downloaded beforehand. Then I am able to watch videos in 480p or sometimes even in 720p quality. Sometimes, however, I watch very rarely YouTube videos in New Moon 28 with the help of the great extension uTube. Here are two screenshots taken from YouTube in New Moon 28 when all configurations have been done: My new homepage of YouTube only for searching videos (Bye, bye unwanted videos ): And here is a tab when playing a single video: All is loaded relatively fast on my old machine. One of the installed scripts let me select the size of the player myself. Here it is set to the 480p size. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    ... Age-related YouTube blocks can be successfully circumvented, while being logged out of course, by using below userscript: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file#userscript I did my little experiment while being logged out of course but without any YouTube Age Restriction Bypass script. I never had such age-related blocks on YouTube here.

    No such problems but I use my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 together with a BPCF script. And when additionally using the extension uTube 33.1, no ads anymore here in New Moon 28.

    Thanks for clarification! I will edit it to my needs.

    @Dixel Thorium is not fully portable. I know that. When installing extensions, there are corresponding entries written into the registry. I always use the flag --disable-machine-id but the flag --disable-encryption only if I move my profile folder.
