Is that a true story? I'd post it at the Windows 10 Forums over at tenforums.com, if I knew it was legit. That would get their blood pressure going

Happy Ho Ho Dibya!

I use it on Windows 8 x64 Pro, so it should work.

Pale Moon v26.50 (make that the Atom version) K-Meleon 76 RC (still current)

See I thought the ReactOS team were going after a lighter windows-like build, so without the bloat. So ala Windows 2000, but compatible with today's applications.

How current is the browser for modern rendering?

TrueOS? Hmmm the first I'm hearing of it. I shall check it out. Thanks Dencorso!

I was hopeful for React OS, but I think that's a dead project now.

I wish you were around when I wanted to discuss XP security two years (even if it was to an ad nauseum soap operatic degree). Holy crap was I tarred and feathered for that, and I even ditched the forum for awhile. I like how you think NoelC. Of course, I don't REALLY care about XP anymore, but if Dibya wants to shout to the hills about it, he should be able to. And yes that whole "stay on topic" people. Every forum mod does that. But conversation is an organic, fluid thing. Many folks drift off topic in real life, sp go ahead and do it here.

Oh I know. You know, I'm not sure that I mind the security only update model all that much. It was what I was doing anyway. by installing all of the critical updates. So really nothing changes except it's just one big update. I'm shocked Microsoft hasn't clamped down on this ...lol. Even with POS Ready, it's amazing how long XP users have been able to continue.

Yes that's how I understood the new format working. I wasn't confused at all. I simply forgot the Flash update ... lol. Also now, you have to download from the Catalog site. The bulletins don't link to a download page for each update anymore. Now before, there were sometimes only updates for particular .NET Framework versions. Sometimes only v3.5 had updates, and there were none for v4x. Cheers to January 2023. I wonder what I'll want to do after that. Hmmmmmmm

Whew! No restart needed.

Oooops Yes I did

Yes it's Eight Breeze - very 7-ish. I deleted the shellstyle those because it was this funky blue across the top. But I like it.

All good! Here's my screenshot of success

So I have downloaded the Security Only Update KB3205408. Also I have a .NET Security Only patch for .NET v4.6x, which is KB3204801. So let's update and see how it goes. See you after the boot

I will check the servicing stack update out. I hope it gives a good description of it, so I know what I'm putting on my system.

Ahoy greenhillmaniac! If I'm not mistaken, today is that rather special Tuesday, so time to awaken this thread from just over a month of slumber. I'll be on it later today.

Not exactly. To push further, Moonchild figured it would be best to use a new base version of Firefox to create Pale Moon from. I think v25 and v26 were originally adapted from Firefox v29 (the last pre-Australis version). But I guess he was running in to roadblocks adding codec support and security fixes to that older code. So I think the current 27x build is based on Firefox 45x. Then he reworked the older non-Australis interface and other customizations into it. It's no different than how K-Meleon releases a new build based on a newer Gecko, right? And the deloper tools were removed because support is gone for those types of JetPack extensions now. I have to say, v27 runs a lot smoother so overall it's a better experience. But Moonchild does seem to think that Google and the likes of such should bend over backward to not using agent sniffing as a compatibility measure. Moonchild refuses to realize that he is a small player, and thus no Google or other corporate giant will care to cater to small players when they are pushing their own browser.

So wait! Is Windows XP x64 Support still available with v50x? It almost sounds as if support disapeared after v46x. https://www.waterfoxproject.org/blog/waterfox-50.0-release-download

Now here's something I think has yet to surface that could prove interesting. As it stands, Waterfox is the only xFox build that supports Windows XP x64 Edition. Will that also shift to the ESR branch, or cease completely?

Now to be fair, that's because there are more installations of Windows NT 6x, right? Obscurity doesn't make XP more secure in it's own right.

Well it appears that Moonchild decided to release v27.0.2. And if you look the release notes linked below, I think you (that's you NoelC ...lol) will have a little giggle. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14018

Close. There is a pref you can add for each site in about:config. So say I set my rendering engine to Goanna (the default in Pale Moon), I would add a pref for Google, MSFN and others to render as Firefox. A bit of a nuisance.

I've got to try this when I get home too.
