You can specify which type of disk you are using and let the software optimise for it (at least in virtualbox) but it will use your disk a lot anyway 'cause it has to load another OS at the same time with its own system files and with its own temporary data written in the page files... What I'm actually doing, though, is to use a physical HDD to run XP (it's literally a bare metal hardware). I don't mean putting the large vmdk file there, I mean using the disk as it is. There's a function called "raw disk access" in both virtualbox and VMware that allows you to create a fake .vmdk file of a few kB that just points to a physical hard drive with a real installation of the OS. This way, virtualbox/VMware will access the disk directly as if you were booting from a real machine.

I've been prompted with a new Flash Player update window. Too bad their website it's not working, though; this is what happens when I try to download the update:

Same here. I've been running Fedora (Linux) due to hardware compatibility issues (no drivers) since 2016. I've been eventually using Linux for anything that XP wasn't able to do and whenever I had to use Windows (an updated one) for encoding or coding (Visual Studio 2017 etc) I fired up my second VM with Windows 10. For the records, I also have VMs with Win98 and Android. Anyway, I think I'm gonna stay as I am right now: XP for casual usage, Fedora for everything that XP can't do and Win10 for work. Eventually, I'll begin to use Fedora more and XP less 'till it's going to be inevitable. It's been a good journey, guys, but as I said before, don't cry for what it's not going to be, smile for what has been... :') (Not my picture):

Sadly... The best player and the only one with updated codecs for XP after the K-Lite Codec Pack dropped support as it was using the Open Codecs. Anyway, here comes my post, begging Chinese developers to keep supporting XP: https://potplayer.daum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=20789

It works with Chromium 54 spoofed as Chromium 75 as well, by the way. You just need to have the TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 update for WES/POS installed and the registry key correctly set in the register.

Really? I live in Notting Hill (Ladbroke Grove). If I take the tube, I could be there in 45 minutes (Circle line and Central line). Anyone else living in London? Perhaps we could really have a coffee all together if we manage to gather enough people.

If I remember correctly, time ago Harkaz said that he wasn't going to constantly update the SP4 anymore, but he was willing to release a final version once the end of support was reached. Time passed and I don't know whether he still has time/the will to do that, but hopefully we're going to see one last final and definitive version of his SP4.

Oh... :'( I do search for old emails from time to time, but only for work-related issues, procedures, technical specifications and so on. I rarely access old emails on my personal email too, though, except for a few starred messages I archived as important as they contain valuable informations; for instance, when I've got a digital copy of my National Insurance Number, my healthcare insurance documents, an email stating that I passed the British Citizenship Test, the one I received when I've got my Settled Status (damn Brexit) and so on... Don't get me wrong, I do have all the original documents printed and stamped, but I always keep the emails as well.

Modern webkit needs to be linked to a modern version of chromium, otherwise it doesn't compile. If you try to use an old version and a new webkit, you're gonna get a lot of errors. If you try to use a modern version of the javascript engine in an old version of Chromium, you're gonna get errors. If you are gonna try to use the new UI with the old version, you're gonna get errors. Besides, Google doesn't care about old webkits and doesn't archive them nor support them, so it would even be impossible to compile an old version unless you do save it, store it, and use it. Let's suppose that you start back from version 49 and you modify it with newer components. The first obstacle you're gonna face is going to be the sandbox, which is not compatible with XP. Simply put, I have no idea what they did with that browser, but if they are willing to share the code and make contributions, they're welcomed. If you wanna contribute yourself, though, you're more than welcome and you can do it here: https://github.com/Skulltrail192/Chromium-For-XP-SRV2003 I wouldn't trust anything made by Chinese companies, by the way, as they showed what they were capable of with Maxthon... (sending visited websites, bookmarks, computer informations and a list of running processes back to Beijing).

Yep, it doesn't work on Chromium 54 either...

Yes, absolutely. 28.5.0a1.

Installed regularly and everything was fine. I rebooted and everything was running properly, so it seems that they didn't screw up anything this time.

Yes, I mean New Moon by roytam1. I should have specified that. I didn't change the user agent on Firefox 52.9.1 ESR. I did, however, spoofed my Chromium 54 as 74.0.3706.7 to no avail. (I do it every time I use Chromium). "C:\Programs\Chrome\chrome.exe" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3706.7 Safari/537.36" That's weird. You are telling me that you don't have any issues with Chrome 49 but I can't even load it with Chromium 54?

Life is made of so many things: good things, bad things, commuting things, work-related things... With all these things it's easy to forget "something", that's why I use bookmarks and Google assistant. I used to use Chromium only back in the days, so I used to have everything perfectly synced on Google servers, but now I actually use both Chromium and Firefox and recently I also started to use the new modified version of new moon for XP. The "problem" is that I'd like to have all my bookmarks and history synced. What do you use to keep all your bookmarks synced across different browsers?

I can reproduce the issue. Instagram: - doesn't even load on Chromium 54 - it loads on Firefox 52.9.1 ESR but it doesn't play videos - it loads and plays videos on Palemoon. Please note that I don't use Instagram and I clicked on random things to test it. (I ended up on the profile of a speaker that works for CapitalFM, then on Taylor Swift and finally on a video made by some weird kinky youngsters about Shawn Mendes, which I didn't really care about).

Ublock Origin actually works fine on advanced Chrome as well, but the latest version is not supported. There's a topic in this forum somewhere in which we discussed about this 'cause I had a similar problem and I found out which version was the last supported version.

It works. Thank you very much indeed!

Sadly, Chromium 54 is affected: Unfortunately, in Chrome there is no built-in flag to disable service workers specifically, but service workers works with "cookies/site data" which you can find at chrome://settings/cookies so blocking those actually disables service worker. The thing is that cookies are actually useful...

Chrome 72.0.3626.105 on Android 5.1.1 doesn't support service workers, so it's not affected. I'm gonna check whether Chromium 54 does or not on my computer.

Hi, the latest version of Grammarly doesn't work on Chromium 54. Do you know which is the last supported version? Is it archived somewhere? Version 14.897.2118 clearly doesn't work and the desktop program requires Windows7 or newer. (Don't get me wrong, it's not like I need a babysitting tool that constantly teaches me how to write properly, but I do make typos from time to time 'cause I'm a human being...)

The fact that 7zip still supports XP is a good thing, however I personally use winrar. Sorry about that. XD

Apparently, even the government is moving away from XP...

Hi, I was trying to install the MaterialFox theme, but I think it doesn't support Firefox 52.9.1 as it's clearly not working as intended: As you can see, the back and forward arrows are there, but they are not displayed (top left) and the icons of the websites are wrong as they are too close to the text. https://github.com/muckSponge/MaterialFox The extension is created in .css, so I think that it can be modified/adapted for Firefox 52.9.1 ESR if someone has a little bit of time to lose. Unfortunately, I can't play with it this very moment.

I wish I could go back to the 90s...
