    I use Mypal 68 regularly and have not noticed any unusual behaviour so far. If you want to be on the safe side, use a network sniffer to identify and analyse all incoming and outgoing connections of a browser. And it doesn't matter whether it is Mypal 68 or this Chrome 115 which is actually the topic here. However, this strange behaviour was already observed when using certain versions of Chrome browsers. Any problems observed in terms of Mypal 68 should be then posted in a corresponding thread, of course.

    What is particularly perfidious is that the guys from Wise have probably deliberately hidden the information about the update status in order to avoid negative feedback. In previous versions, this update status was available. I consider this to be dubious and interpret this concealment tactic as a pretence of a sense of security on the part of the user. This is definitely a no-go.

    Thank you for the flowers! That's good to hear.

    Update notification! Both versions of my Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater for offline use have been updated and are now of 11/28/2023. You can find them in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates in the first post of this thread. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    And one thing is clear. My investigations in terms of Wise Anti Malware are complete. I will no longer install this programme under Windows XP 32-bit.
  6. AstroSkipper
    Where the programme saves its data. For example, use Total Commander to search your system partition for the string "Wise"! It's been months ago, so I can't tell you the exact locations at this point.

    The chances are even worse under Windows XP 64-bit. After my deep testing, I personally know that using Wise Anti Malware under Windows XP 32-bit is no option anymore. This picture is unfortunately worthless. You have to look for the date and version of the downloaded definition updates. If the programme does not offer any information, you have to look inside Wise Anti Malware's folders.
  8. AstroSkipper
    Congratulations! So at least, it is still working under Windows Vista. But under Windows XP, it doesn't work anymore. To be sure that you have the most recent definition updates their date is very important. Not that they are from 2019 or something like that. Check if they are really from today!

    That was the version I tested first. No chance! It doesn't work anymore under Windows XP. The updating and the initialisation of the scan engine fail there. Therefore, Wise Anti Malware has to be considered abandoned under Windows XP, unfortunately.

    The information for the last updating of the virus definitions should be shown in the tab Quick Check. Look at my picture!
  12. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for testing and reporting! Unfortunately, you tested it under Windows Vista. However, this thread is targeting Windows XP exclusively. Under Windows XP, Wise Anti Malware does not work anymore and must be considered abandoned. Although off-topic, I would be interested to know when the last virus definitions were that you loaded under Windows Vista. This cannot be determined from your pictures.

    Everyone can laugh however he or she wants. But what you do here in public readable or visible for all visitors of this forum is a completely different matter. Especially when someone asks for help. And BTW, I couldn't care less whether it's this one or that one who behaves like that. That doesn't make it any better.

    I personally think it's inappropriate and rather rude to laugh at someone who uses old hardware and has to wait much longer for tasks to be completed than on a powerful computer. And there are people who are attached to their old computers and don't follow the disposal mania of our society. Just to clarify, SSE or SSE2 instruction sets are exclusive features of a CPU. These are specific instruction sets that can be addressed by programmes such as browsers. An SSE release of a browser therefore uses at most the SSE instruction set of a CPU and does not contain any code for instructions which need the SSE2 instruction set or higher. Therefore, your statement "these UXP browsers have an SSE without SSE2" does not make sense as a browser is not a CPU. And you see, I don't laugh at such statements, either.

    Hello again @anton12! My Windows XP computer is equipped with a P4 CPU and 1.5 GB SD-RAM. This machine is very reliable, too. Windows XP or Windows 2000 are definitely good choices for such old computers. So, I understand you very well. In any case, your CPU definitely lacks the SEE2 instruction set. That's the reason you are running SSE or IA32 builds of New Moon and Serpent. When one uses old hardware like we do, one has to accept the fact that many modern websites can no longer be accessed properly. That is why I have written what I do in such cases. Maybe, the coming SSE build of Mypal 68 is your last chance (but I assume it won't work either as the HUK24 websites most probably uses SSE2 instructions) but generally I would feed a more recent system with such cumbersome websites. I do this by throwing crappy websites like this at my Android 9 tablet. Even there, you have to use devices equipped with Android 5 or up to run most recent browsers which are very often needed for such modern, bloated websites. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    Menu bar items on hover when using themes I don't know if anyone has ever noticed the following display annoyance in Mypal 68. I recently started using a theme (containing a black cat. What else! ) in Mypal 68 and when I move my mouse over the menu entries, the respective entry is difficult to read and is not displayed correctly. Here is a screenshot when the default theme is enabled, and everything is fine: And now a screenshot when another theme such as my black cat theme is enabled: The Bookmarks entry is barely legible. Same with the entries File, Edit, View, History, Tools and Help. That's annoying. Therefore, I have created a small fix in form of a CSS stylesheet. Here is the code: menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"] { background-color: -moz-menuhover !important; color: -moz-menuhovertext !important; } And here is the result: Now, the inverted colour is displayed correctly again when hovering. Although a little blurred due to the activated theme (I think it is an overlay effect), it is much better to read than before. Save the code in a CSS file and import it to the userChrome.css file if you are affected too! Or simply download the file menubar-items-on-hover.css I uploaded to my file-hosting service! Edit: I checked this little blurred effect again and could fix it. Here is the new code: menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"] { background-color: -moz-menuhover !important; color: -moz-menuhovertext !important; text-shadow: none !important; } This is a screenshot when using the modified code above with my favourite theme: You see it looks now as it was when using the default theme. And here is the download link of the file menubar-items-on-hover.css containing the modified code: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ciprmjkzcgnzprz/menubar-items-on-hover.css/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

    My Windows XP desktop computer is not permanently switched on. But my tablet is. This means that many daily tasks can be done immediately. But I generally prefer to surf with my old machine. I love the legacy browsers such as New Moon 28 and Serpent 52. And complex articles are written there, of course. But all that bloated Google stuff is ideal food for my tablet.
  18. AstroSkipper
    Here are some facts: my car is from 1989, my Windows XP computer is from 2000 but my tablet is an Android 9 one with most recent apps. I could use a much more modern desktop computer but I love my old one. I also could use a notebook with dualboot of Win 7 and Win 10. Websites which don't run properly on my Win XP machine I usually open on my Android tablet. I am an experienced Android user and can do nearly all things under Android if needed. BTW, many of my posts are written on my tablet. And I love throwing Google-infested websites at my tablet. This part can handle them perfectly.
  19. AstroSkipper
    Right! Using browsers such as Mypal 68, New Moon or Serpent means the user is running old hardware with old operation systems. Such systems are slow and weak in general. On more recent hardware, I personally wouldn't think of using old OSes or legacy browsers. Thus, your comment is not very logical, rather absurd or provocative and certainly not helpful. And BTW, I drive a very old car and speed doesn't matter for me. One particularly positive aspect is that I produce very little electronic waste.

    In Mypal 68, the verification process lasted exactly 1 minute. I measured it from this registration form to this success message when clicking the button "Hier klicken": In New Moon 28, it took much longer, maybe five to six times as long. For me, much too long.

    Hello @shelby! Here is a quotation from Avast: Source: https://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus#pc Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Done!
  23. AstroSkipper
    I can confirm that. There is indeed a "null" problem with the script "Restored Pagination for Google" starting from page two when using the advanced search, even in Mypal 68. Thus, I use the script "Return Pagination to Google" instead.

    My first advice is to use other, more modern browsers. When I try to access such services, I always do it using my Android 9 tablet with most recent browsers such as Opera, Kiwi, Brave or Firefox. But just for you, I also tried to access this website with Mypal 68, and the verification says I am a human. That makes me feel better. I was already thinking I was a cat. At next, I tried New Moon 28. The verification took much longer than in Mypal 68. This is my result in NM 28: NM 28 seems to have passed successfully the verification. But I can't get any further. I don't have an account there and don't want one. Hope I could help you a bit. BTW, there are a few errors in the Web Console regarding this website. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    ... The short version of it is both ; long version below: Having originally been a Mozilla Firefox fan only, my first acquaintance to Userscript Managers was via the XUL/legacy version of Greasemonkey ; at some point in time, this was converted to the much restrictive WE format , to which I did never migrate... When I started using the UXP-based browsers, NM28 initially, I migrated to the UXP-fork Greasemonkey for Pale Moon (now an abandonware ), which was also kept when I decided to move over from NM28 to Serpent 52 (because the latter had kept support for WE - I needed to use Stylus there, because many of my preferred userstyles had migrated over to the "user.css" format, which Stylem doesn't support ) ... While in St52, I explored the availability of actively maintained WE userscript managers, the two more prominent choices were Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey; TBH, I was quite miffed that TM had already dropped support for Fx52-level platforms, with only a much older version being installable in St52 (I have v4.11.6120beta archived on disk) ; additionally, while TM was in the past open-source, it had already moved by then to closed-source development... OTOH, Violentmonkey was, and still is, open-source and actively supported Fx52/St52, so I chose to install VM in St52 and have kept it ever since ; when I started experimenting with the Chromium derivatives that support Vista SP2 32-bit, I installed VM there, too, because I had grown accustomed to it ... As far as script compatibility is concerned, it's true that most userscript authors first target TM, because it's more popular I guess; but VM should also do the job in the 99% of cases; incidentally, the "Restored Pagination for Google" userscript works better in VM than TM, it says so in its code: // @match only allows wildcards for the TLD in ViolentMonkey, not in TamperMonkey or other alternatives Ultimately, it's down to the English saying: "whatever tickles your fancy" and for me it's VM... Thank you for the detailed report! I disabled TM in Mypal 68 and installed VM. I'll test both, but of course not in combination. Here, we had only snow for two days. Things look a little different in the south of Germany. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper
