    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.
  10. AstroSkipper
    TBH, I don't understand what you mean with his uBlock Origin. In any case, my uBlock Origin Legacy is very well configured and blocks as much as possible.
  11. AstroSkipper
    No such ads here.

    ... Well yes, sadly, this has also happened to me, especially when using Serpent 52 to post (only very rarely happens when using KafanMiniBrowser ) ... Well, after reloading the page (and praying during the page reload that whatever you've already written won't be lost ), do NOT immediately re-click the "Submit" button; first open in a new tab the MSFN thread you're posting to and inquire whether your post has indeed been uploaded, despite the browser hang; once you verify this is not the case, only then do click the "Submit" button anew ; FWIW, I had similar issues when using St52 to post comments on GitHub, but now, since MS made GH almost unusable in UXP-based browsers, I use KMB for GH (where that issue almost never manifests itself) ... And the very best is that now both posts have disappeared completely. Who has deleted them? I simply replied to a post addressed to me. And above all, why both? What's going on here?
  14. AstroSkipper
    That is of course possible. In any case, I do not have those problems with uBO‘s logger you have described.
  15. AstroSkipper
    I use the flag --max-connections-per-host=15 on my very old and weak hardware, however, with Thorium under Windows XP. So far, it works great.
  16. AstroSkipper
    And that is one reason why I love our legacy versions of uBlock Origin. No such badlists.txt file. Personally, I don't like being restricted by whoever and for whatever reason although all is done in the name of "security", of course.

    I believe that updating Chrome components in the background on Windows XP may now be more of a problem than a benefit. It's been so many years since support for Chrome on Windows XP was discontinued that components for this operating system are no longer being developed, let alone checked for compatibility. Thus, using the flag --disable-component-update seems to me a logical consequence.
  18. AstroSkipper
    Yep! Thanks for clarification! However, I have already found out that, too. Greetings, AstroSkipper
  19. AstroSkipper
    As I already wrote, no components were installed in my Thorium installation. The list is simply empty. It was just an idea. Personally, I use the flag --disable-component-update.

    Maybe, for you. But I fear you are just one of the few. uBlock Origin works great. However, you just have to be able to handle it. But we have already had a lengthy discussion about this. Please, provide a link to the YouTube video where ads are not blocked by uBO! Your recommendation is unfortunately completely off-topic. Your Chrome webextension Adblock does not exist for legacy browsers. Only Adblock Plus in the last version 2.9.1 from June of 2017 which is unmaintained and obsolete since then. So if there is more necessary than only your selected filter list "Anti-Circumvention Filters", then it presumably won't work as expected. BTW, the Anti-Circumvention Filters https://github.com/abp-filters/abp-filters-anti-cv also seem to have been obsolete for some time now. The repository has been archived in December of 2023. PS: And another piece of bad news for you. Sorry for that in advance! The latest version of your beloved Adblock extension apparently no longer blocks ads on YouTube, as several users have reported in the Chrome Web Store, and is also no longer available for Thorium (Chrome 122). Here is a link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adblock-—-block-ads-acros/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/reviews?hl=en

    @Dave-H I have just seen your recently opened issue "Side by Side Error Recorded in Windows XP #85"on GitHub. I then checked my event logs but can't see any corresponding entries so far although the sub folder screen_ai also exists in my USER_DATA folder including this ominous chrome_screen_ai.dll file. Furthermore, I checked my installed components under chrome://components/ but there are none. Maybe, you simply delete or rename the complete screen_ai sub folder and use the command line flag --disable-component-update for the next browser start.. It might be necessary to de-register the chrome_screen_ai.dll file, too. I can't say whether this will help you, but you could give it a try.
  22. AstroSkipper
    I know these command line flags. Personally, I use the extension Animation Policy in Thorium. By using this extension, you are able to exactly adjust via a toolbar popup how the animations are supposed to be handled by the browser. Thus, the user has the possibility to let an animation play or stop from inside Thorium at any time without editing the flags and restarting the browser.

    After some tests, I would even say that the loading behaviour of different websites also has been improved by the updated Chrome XP API Adapter. More test are necessary, of course.
  24. AstroSkipper
    As already reported in the Supermium thread by @rereser, a new progwrp.dll file was released for Supermium. This file is the Chrome XP API Adapter and is supposed to be compatible with Thorium. Therefore, I replaced the old version 1.1.0.5002 by the new version 1.2.0.5035. The file size from version 1.1.0.5002 to 1.2.0.5035 has been significantly reduced by an incredible 82%. In any case, I can confirm that now the browser start is much faster and smoother than before. I think this is a great improvement.

    You're welcome. Credits to @VistaLover, of course.
