    To use Proton VPN you have to create an account as usual.

    You're right. Not really. TBH, I have only a little idea about these GitHub repos, especially when it would come to creating my own. As I already mentioned in my thread, I personally am not really a coder but rather a code recycler, fixer, modifier and batch programmer. I like to repair things that no longer work correctly. Especially when they are close to my heart. In any case, thanks for your further explanations!

    I do think so, too. The extension I already forked for my private use was abandoned by the author in 2015.
  4. AstroSkipper
    TBH, me neither. I am never really sure about things like that.

    Thank you very much for your explanation! Looking at other forks of extensions, I never saw a detailed record (in the form of a patch/diff file) of the modifications the "forker" applied on the original source code inside those xpi files. I only noticed a statement like "forked from the extension ... created by ..." or similar. BTW, I decided to choose a new name.

    It happens rarely, but today, I also have a question. It's about forking extensions. What do I have to consider if I want to fork an old, abandoned XUL extension under the MPL-2.0 licence? I already asked this question in my thread Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations, but I think here in @roytam1's browser thread, the probability of getting an answer is higher, since software developers, programmers or code-experienced members are more likely to be found here. Any hints or explanations are welcome. Thanks in advance!

    Hello to all extension "forkers" or experts! What has to be considered if one wants to fork old, abandoned extensions, which are free and non-commercial, whose code only exists in the form of their xpi file under the MPL-2.0 licence, and which are now exclusively available via the Classic Add-ons Archive or the Wayback Machine? TBH, I am never really sure about things like that. I personally am not really a coder but rather a code recycler, fixer, modifier and batch programmer. Therefore, any ideas or assessments are welcome. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    You do not need to remove this post. It was just a hint if you have further issues with 360Chrome or other Chrome forks. The discussion here was mainly about web compatibility in terms of two websites, mediamarkt.de and saturn.de which were tested in 360Chrome and Kafan browser, too, just for comparison purpose.
  9. AstroSkipper
    Hello @WSC4! Issues related to 360Chrome and other Chrome forks should be posted in their corresponding threads. We have a lot of them. FYI, this thread is actually about @roytam1's browser editions.

    When I create a new post containing own images, I always upload them to an image hoster before. I think a post should also be able to be understood by readers in the future. Especially, if one, as for example me, has created articles with information which should be preserved for as long as possible. And I personally am not too lazy to insert the golden rule:

    Hello @UCyborg! Thank you very much for sharing your "mediamarkt.de | saturn.de quick fix" userscript! I tried it in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and 55. Although there are issues with images in the item lists as already reported by @VistaLover, it works and makes these websites readable again. In Palefill 1.27, martok also made fixes for mediamarkt's login area. Nevertheless, I hope there will be a solution of all these issues one day coded in NM and SP themselves. BTW, I am a customer of Media Markt's online shop and I am glad to be able to use this site in NM and SP again. Thanks again!

    There seems to be a Black Normal theme already in Comodo 5.9/5.10. Have a look here: https://help.comodo.com/topic-72-1-284-3042-.html I personally can't say anything more about it because it was too long ago and I never used black or dark modes. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    If I remember correctly, Comodo Firewall 6 was the last version too I had installed before I changed my firewall.
  15. AstroSkipper
    Hello @Saxon! Thanks for your reply! Your quote refers to version Comodo Firewall 12.0.0.6818 and is therefore version 12. However, I referred to version Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165 which is obviously version 8 and therefore older. In this thread, a member has also confirmed what I once read in the Comodo forum and therefore wrote to you: TBH, I have not been a fan of Comodo for a long time, and it's a long time ago when I used it. Furthermore, I do not plan to test this firewall. As I already wrote, my firewall is Windows 10 Firewall Control Free XP 7.5.105.217 from Sphinx, and I am not about to uninstall it for testing purpose. If anyone was interested in testing Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165, that would be great, of course.

    DreamMail Pro - Update information! DreamMail Pro has been updated again and is now available in version 6.6.6.11. It is still XP-compatible, and the development is ongoing! I have not been able to find a version history on their homepage. Therefore, I generated an official version history translated to English and provide it here: And here is the download link of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.11: https://dl.cy-email.com/dm6/Download/dmpro_setup6.6.6.11.exe To force the updated installer of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.11 to use English instead of Chinese as the installer language, I updated again my small loader that does this when it calls up the setup program. It must be executed in the same directory in which the setup file is located with its original file name dmpro_setup6.6.6.11.exe. Here is the download link of my loader Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_66611.exe: https://www.mediafire.com/file/lvg9qtaqt6voii4/Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_66611.7z/file Although some virus scanners detect this file as malicious, it is just a false-positive as always. Use my loader to force an English install, only if you trust me, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Why should I feel discredited? Such renaming by using the console is elementary and old practice. I already did it that way in the good old DOS days. But if batch renaming other parts of files, I always use the multi-rename tool of Total Commander.

    Hello @Saxon! As I already wrote here, users reported in the Comodo Forum that the last error-free working version under Windows XP has been Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165. Have you really tried this version? Actually, it should work under Windows XP.

    Hello @WSC4! Of course, you have to make your own experiences. I would recommend starting with New Moon 28, based on Pale Moon, and Serpent 52, based on Basilisk. That's what I am using under Windows XP mainly. BTW, you can easily open a session with 20 tabs or more, but it is not a good idea to open them all at once. I use the extension Lull The Tabs to keep them in an unloaded state until I need one of them. Doing so, New Moon and Serpent consume much less resources. Greetings, AstroSkipper

    The updated version 2.75 of CurrPorts now supports new IP-Location files. Read these release notes if interested in:
  21. AstroSkipper
    Update notification! CurrPorts has been updated on 05.06.2023 and is now available in version 2.75. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I'll update my article as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper
  22. AstroSkipper
    I added the official link to the offline updater spybotsd_includes.exe for antispyware definitions and corresponding update instructions to my article about SpyBot - Search & Destroy Free Edition. Cheers, AstroSkipper
  23. AstroSkipper
    Update notification! Malware Hunter has been updated on 17.07.2023 and is now available in version 1.169.0.787. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I updated my article. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    FYI, Ultra Adware Killer has been updated to the version 10.7.9.0 on 20.07.2023. I tested this version under Windows XP. Unfortunately, the versions 10.7.8.0 and 10.7.9.0 are no longer compatible with Windows XP although some websites, as for example Softpedia, still list the most recent version 10.7.9.0 falsely as compatible. Therefore, the last XP-compatible version seems to be 10.7.7.0. Accordingly, I changed the provided download link, which would otherwise point to an XP-incompatible version, and updated my article completely. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    However, interesting would be now what you think about the reactivation of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300. Did you already test it?
