Given the nature of the MyPal project -to build a browser that runs in XP while permitting access to "modern" websites- I think constant change/adaptation of whatever can be taken from different versions of FF, and a moving JS target, are unavoidable. It is unlikely I will be running internet applications on XP anymore, but I appreciated and still appreciate the efforts of feodor to maintain development. I did use some of your buttons, Astroskipper, so I also appreciate your work, but it seems to me inevitable that you will have to adapt them with each new version, as MyPal tries to catch up with a moving target that doesn't care about breaking things. Such is the game, and its beauty.

I find this thread interesting from a theoretical point of view. As I was saying: I know for a fact that such SML can be managed with Linux. Assuming it were possible to run a GTX 1050 in XP (irrespective of whether it would allow H/A or not), it would then be possible to dual boot (or Xen-parallely run) XP and Linux, so that with one single setup, with only one card, one could enjoy both the XP tweaked shell, interface and software dear to us, and the rush of training a deep learning SLM, even if with a tiny llama of 2b parameters. Personally it does not affect me: I have an RTX 3060 (now almost in my hands, yay!). Professionally and XPly I care a lot about it. There are XP systems I built running in some of the darkest places of the world, and a well trained, even if very small, SLM could potentially run in such systems. From that perspective, even a slightly more expensive 1070 would make me very happy. Cheers!

Nah, this was back in the mid 2010s. All FF browsers post ff 51 or so dropped H/A. 1050 was nor around.

Besides your momma's rulings, got any evidence for that? I used H/A in MPC and firefox under 52, back then. You don't have to believe me, nor do I want to convince you. Cheers!

I may in the future, I'm setting up a 3060 in Linux, and have a way to go before I start running XP again. In any case, the 1050s are too expensive for their worth, nowadays, and I can barely find 1070s. They will hopefully go back to normal prices when I'm ready for it.

So, I guess that for you CUVID doesn't count as hardware acceleration? "No hardware acceleration worked because XP lacks directX 11"

Define properly and, short a court ruling, provide evidence to sustain your claim. I'm waiting for a GTX 3070, to be run in Linux. I will try and see what I can do with it, in a Xen setup, to run XP. Short of that, I will run it from one of my old quadros, anyway. Again, interesting thread.

As I said 6 or so months ago, my motherboard went belly up and I decided to fully move into Linux Mint. I will start playing with XP, again, in a Xen environment. For that reason, this is a most interesting thread: I understand that the NV GTX 1050 series allows for the deployment of small language (SML) AI (llama, deepseek and such), which can be managed, in a dual boot (and potentially in a Xen setup), with Linux Mint -and will in any case probably give a boost to XP media performance.

Last I checked a few weeks ago (my old motherboard died, and am now replacing my system with linux-mint+Xen+XP but XP will take me a while to get back to, and more likely than not not for browsing), jshelter worked in supermium, and does a very good job preventing fingerprinting, fonts included..

Hi, just to report that the LAST version of ghostscrip in XP is 9.54 (only after applying the two exes and dll xompie treatment- maybe PAE is enough, I didn't check). I haven't tested it thoroughly, but enough to see that it woks far better than the previous GS version I had (9.16) loading content within irfaview. .

Hi, unfortunately i can;t login into mydifitallive foum. My settings (quad9 secutirty, DOH, etc) may be it. I'm looking to try the last MPV build for XP by Maroc. If someone finds the time, would you post it here? thanks!

Hi @Astroskipper. Where can we try these (two?) new buttons?

hi, projects' main page (at least) in gitlab show up empty and with the swirling thingie spinning around.

Those (settings) in XP are discussed at nauseam in the XP sub-forum. Until you get the hang of it, you will have to spend some time, though, and have an XP ready backup image (or many, as you advance). With the specs of that laptop of yours, it will be difficult, but (again), check with Astroskipper, it is possible.
