    Can reproduce with latest NM27 32-bit under Vista SP2 x86: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: palemoon.exe Application Version: 27.10.0.7727 Application Timestamp: 62da024b Fault Module Name: xul.dll Fault Module Version: 27.10.0.7727 Fault Module Timestamp: 62da026f Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0122a660 OS Version: 6.0.6003.2.2.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1032 Additional Information 1: ef08 Additional Information 2: e843b82e31d7bb84f8cbb577ae9ed614 Additional Information 3: a87d Additional Information 4: a9d0854f3fbdbdee05b525a298a8be0e

    Well, it definitely DOESN'T work under Vista SP2 (32-bit); in the main "bin" folder, Sanbrowser.exe chrome_proxy.exe both call functions not present in Vista's kernel32.dll ; things are much worse inside the "92.0.4482.0" subdir: chrome_pwa_launcher.exe notification_helper.exe chrome.dll chrome_elf.dll mojo_core.dll vk_swiftshader.dll ... ALL call (from 1 to as many as 30) missing kernel functions under Vista SP2... E.g. below are DW results for chrome.dll: (14 missing functions in total in kernel32, 5 in user32.dll, 1 in advapi32.dll, 5 in mfplat.dll, 1 in shell32.dll, 1 in cfgmgr32.dll, 1 in powrprof.dll and 2 in mf.dll), and chrome_elf.dll:

    SanBrowser is a Chinese product, that's one thing for sure... The installer for latest version v1.0.2.30 (from one year ago) has been digitally signed on July 25th 2021, the certificate issued by "Shenzhen SanShangYun Technology Co., Ltd". The downloaded setup is of a custom format that can't be unpacked with any of the known tools in my possession ; that surely made it impossible for me to inspect internal .EXE and .DLL files with Dependency Walker, to check for Vista SP2 compatibility ... And when I read their "Privacy" disclaimer: https://www.sanbrowser.com/privacy , it became a "no go" for me to even attempt running that Chinese-made installer ... So, I'll pass the baton on to someone else more adventurous, I guess ...

    For starters, Softpedia isn't the official vendor of 360 products, the Chinese firm Qihoo is... The browser linked in that SP page is, in fact, 360 Secure Browser/Explorer (a "relative" of the more widely familiar here 360 Extreme Explorer), which is mainly targeting mainland China and is bundled with Qihoo's "Security" products... Official download page: https://browser.360.cn/se/ Support forum (in Chinese): https://bbs.360.cn/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=141 https://bbs.360.cn/thread-15948589-1-1.html Newly released version 13.1.6066.0 is based on Chromium 86 core: i.e. the exact same core 360EEv13/13.5 are built on... Unless Qihoo have backported security fixes for publicly released CVEs from Google, I see no real merit on choosing this over the "sanitised" 360EEv13.x versions offered here in MSFN... For those of you feeling more adventurous, "Russian-Board" Forum thread for 360SE: http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=2&topic=5854&start=0 "X-Portable" Russified+"cleaned-up" packages are linked there-in (but for older version 13.1.1774.0) ... As cautioned by Dave, NEVER run Chinese installers directly (extract the minimum set of required browser engine files and launch via portable launcher...) !

    In that case, I would advise myself the following article: https://chromium.woolyss.com/#privacy and especially its section How to really be anonymous on the Web? All in all, a splendid read! However, privacy and/or anonymity on today's web (and using today's devices) is just a fallacy ...

    ... Speculations only, for the time being ... Nothing official coming from MS themselves: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/07/15/it-looks-as-if-microsoft-could-extend-windows-7-support-by-three-years/ Source (in German): https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2022/07/13/kb5015861-kb5015862-windows-7-sicherheitsupdate-juli-2022/ (mirrored by: https://techlog360.com/microsoft-plans-to-extend-support-for-windows-7-until-2026/ https://winaero.com/microsoft-intends-to-extend-paid-support-for-windows-7-until-2026/ and many others... )

    ... and "too" (often in the end of the sentence, often in conjunction with an exclamation mark) in the case of an affirmation preceding it: - I don't love you! - I don't love you, either! vs - I love you! - I love you, too!
  8. VistaLover
    No, am afraid it isn't right... "either" is always associated with a negation preceding it: "The Euro European currency isn't used in the United Kingdom (they use the Pound Sterling there); it isn't used in Denmark, either (they use the Danish Krone). What you should've written, probably, would be: "It (Pluto) works in German (language/subs, etc.), too!" @Dave-His a native en-GB speaker, so I'd like very much to hear his view on this...
  9. VistaLover
    I'm treading on OT ground right now, but yes, you're right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto_TV Sadly, not available in my parts... OT2: If you're using an online translating service for posting, do note that "either" in your posts is often out of context, you'd probably need "too" in its place: "it works and in German either" => "it works in Germany, too" (or: "it also works in Germany"); please, I'm not in any way criticising your English (it isn't my mother tongue either, I'm also prone to errors, spelling or otherwise), just a friendly hint... Best greetings

    One might also consider the fact many of the free offerings may be geo-blocked (e.g. YouTube Movies do offer "free" movies, but mainly in the US...); and using a VPN isn't much help, especially if you need your Google Account+credit card to sign-in/watch (because Google demand you associate it with your mobile phone number, IIANM...). I was under the impression "Free" G-Movies required you to "rent" one first with a sanctioned credit card, except for the fact the charge would be USD0.00 in that case... Another concern of mine is that most "movie" providing services listed in "yidio" (e.g AppleTV, Amazon Prime, Google Play Store, Paramount+, Hulu, Showtime, etc. ) ALL employ DRM (WidevineCDM), even for "free" content; Widevine isn't compatible with XP/Vista (thanks, Google ) ... BOTH only available in the US... (Later edit: Pluto appears to be available in select European locations: UK, Germany, Austria) The real question remains unanswered: Why does currently the desktop version of "yidio" NOT display in UXP-based browsers?

    ... However, @XPerceniol is using MSFN itself to attach screengrabs, not an external third-party service like you (dropbox) and me (imgur), so by using PNGs rather than JPGs he'll run out of MSFN attachment space much sooner...
  12. VistaLover
    Funnily enough, the yidio URI referenced, https://www.yidio.com/movies/filter/free loads as expected in my copy of 360EEv11 (Russian RePack, i.e. none of the modified versions offered by the two MSFN members ) :
  13. VistaLover
    Sure thing , especially for the "UK version" of LNER originally referenced (that does load mis-formatted); but in the case of the "international" version of LNER, older browser engines never go as far as loading CF CSS code ; they simply "barf" early on (yielding blank tabs), due to the fact the infringing Javascript code contains no less than 84 instances of "?." (optional chaining operator) and no less than 19 instances of "??" (nullish coalescing operator) ... BTW, latest St52 does support both of them, but the cause of breakage there is something else: SyntaxError: bad method definition app.4510a2428834b09c7e40.js:7:1223 Perhaps @roytam1 could be kind enough to share some insight on this...
  14. VistaLover
    Well, one thing that has to be said for sure is that LNER (or the people designing their web app, "omio"), are sworn enemies of older browser engines... Test URI: https://www.lnerinternational.com/?locale=en-GB FirefoxESR 52.9.1: Blank tab, Web Console reports: SyntaxError: invalid property id app.4510a2428834b09c7e40.js:1:7838 Latest Serpent 52.9.0: Blank tab, Web Console reports: SyntaxError: bad method definition app.4510a2428834b09c7e40.js:7:1223 360EEv11 (Ch69-based): Blank tab, Javascript console reports: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token . app.4510a2428834b09c7e40.js?build=f2ea66a8ffe78691ca992b0eecc3f062813a5a64:1 360EEv12 (Ch78-based)): Blank tab, Javascript Console reports: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.' app.4510a2428834b09c7e40.js?build=f2ea66a8ffe78691ca992b0eecc3f062813a5a64:1 I believe both v11+v12 fail due to, among other, lack of Optional Chaining Operator (?.) support (implemented in Ch80) ... It's only 360EEv13/13.5 (Ch86-based) that is able to render the LNER web app correctly; don't ask me for how much longer...

    Many thanks ; totally unaware of that, yet another "file-animal" named , archiving site...

    ... Same story in FileHippo: https://filehippo.com/download_process-explorer/history/ May I ask where exactly did you locate a copy of v16.26 (same question extended to @mina7601 ) ? My search skills produced as a result a Korean blog, where v16.26 is being offered as an attachment ... The 32-bit binary has both sha1+sha256 file signatures of 2019-06-29 ...

    ... FWIW, that forum loads and displays fine in latest Serpent 52.9.0 by roytam1: itself a fork originally of FxESR52 (but now significantly distanced from...); time and again I've tried to convince you, Dave, to migrate from FxESR52 over to St52 (on your XP partition), but I understand your absolute need to have your desktop Firefox copy synced with your mobile Firefox is what still keeps you from doing so... Anyhow, to each his own...
  18. VistaLover
    ... Well, Serpent 52.9.0 is my default browser here (Vista SP2 32-bit); when loading https://www.lner.co.uk I get the mis-rendered page layout everyone else got in this thread... But, as suspected, the root cause is NOT Javascript code per se, but CSS code instead ; the LNER site has been redesigned internally (an uncalled for change just to cater to newer web standards [read Google Chrome and its Firefox sibling]) to use newer CSS code not supported by the XP/Vista browsers mentioned here with regards to this issue... In Serpent's "about:config" internal page, I enabled "layout.css.report_errors" (from false to true), then I opened Web Console (ctrl+shift+k) and loaded the LNER homepage anew; multiple Missing closing ‘)’ in negation pseudo-class ‘,’. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector. CSS errors populated the Web Console output... Doing a search for that specific error, I arrived at: support compound selectors and complex selectors within :not() negation pseudo-class a Bugzilla "bug" first reported on Oct 31st 2013, but only "closed" on Oct 29th 2020 (!) ... The new CSS feature was finally implemented in Mozilla Firefox v84.0+ ... You can read more about that CSS feature in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:not and https://css4-selectors.com/selector/css4/negation-pseudo-class/ and https://caniuse.com/css-not-sel-list The "CCS-selector-L4 negation pseudo-class" (the feature now required by the LNER site) has been implemented in Chrome starting with version 88: so that's why that site doesn't render correctly in ALL 360EE versions compatible with XP/Vista... Sad as it might sound, stable Chrome is now at version 103, (most useful) sites will never cease the endless game of catering ONLY to what latest Chrome exclusively supports; backwards compatibility isn't even an after-thought nowadays ... Chromium 86 (fork point of 360EEv13/13.5) is now 17 major versions behind current Google Chrome release branch, it has now started to show its age with regards to WebCompat 2022... Opting not to visit sites optimised for latest Chrome might be one way to deal with the modern web (when on "legacy" browsers supporting XP/Vista), but it's just "sweeping the problem under the rug"; what if it's a site you absolutely have to use, say in order to buy a railway ticket on-line? What if, like me, you don't own an Android device, either? Damn you Google...

    @Reino's old CPU (up to SSE instructions set, only?) is probably incompatible with the VLC 3.x.x branch; see reported issue(s): https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/20033 and https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/21887 The VLC frontend (GUI) is built with the Qt Framework and somewhere in there lies the incompatibility with older CPUs... @AstroSkipper, is your "Pentium 4 single core CPU" capable of SSE2/3? if yes, that's the reason you can launch the VLC 3 GUI... @Reino: To load those GitLab links, you have to install the latest palefill extension onto your NM28-SSE build...

    ...First saw this breakage in the My Browser Builds (Part 3) subforum, then discovered all posts on any forum are inaccessible via browser... It's ca. 15:00 UTC here and the issue persists ... I believe the admins should be already aware of this ; hoping for a timely resolution... FWIW, post previews seem to still work; and the last e-mail notification I successfully received was ca. 5hr ago (10:00 UTC).

    This is an already known and reported issue, different to the one I reported here (i.e. the re-introduction of "?."+"??" - that breaks the GitHub "experience" on browsers/platforms lacking native support for these two operators - and St55's apparent inability to render many GitHub URIs, being logged-in or not, resulting in crashes, despite including backported support for the operators). FTR, Mypal68 doesn't support the operators, but recent/latest NM28 does! As for the issue you report in NM28, it's probably: https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/issues/68 A "dirty" workaround I posted there is to block in your content blocker the "manuelpuyol_turbo" script(s) ; in uBlock Origin (legacy), I added in the "My Filters" tab: ! github.com ||github.githubassets.com/assets/chunk-vendors-node_modules_manuelpuyol_turbo_dist_turbo_es2017-esm_js-be659c79aff6.js$script,domain=github.com,important The root cause of this issue might be related to https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues/30 so it might get fixed by the next palefill update...
