My Browser Builds (Part 5)

And as @66cats argued somewhere, I'm having so much undescriptable fun! -
My Browser Builds (Part 5)
dmiranda replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Yeah, @chermany4ever, @NotHereToPlayGames started a very interesting thread about proxo somewhere in this forum. His efforts made me try proxomitron for a second time (first time in the early 2000s), but he is right: the proxomitron learning curve is steep, and there are ways to accomplish many things proxomitron offers, without the effort. I confess: I'm lazy. But if I had to stick to XP for internet matters, I would try it for a third (it's a charm) time. Until then, I'm still trying to run XP as a virtual desktop app in a mint environment. The constant efforts of many gentlemen/ladies(?) in this forum (cheers!) prevent me from doing (seriously) so at the time. Again, lazy I am. -
putty, bitviseSSH and WinSCP have been updated. Subject to further use, all seem to work fine in XP.
-
And I completely agree in that it is (and has to be) XP OS issues - which brings us to supermium. I have to say that that guy @win32has delivered. I will make time to install an OS I've never used, to see his work directly on target (I would also call it fair game -and good practice- to point out that to have an open source community working with you, in your software, side by side with a shinier and prettier plus plus built around the thing we probably don't (or sadly can't) use -those would be acceptable terms, I guess). Be well.

Cool. Would you mind sharing that script either here or in the monkey scripts thread?

You can check if DOH is working setting user_pref("network.trr.mode", 3) - i generally use 2 (check https://github.com/bagder/TRRprefs). Also note that you do not need (and definitely don't have) to use cloudfare, which is the default for DOH -check https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS for a long list of alternatives. If security is your concern, check quad9 (I personally use "quad9 security" at the network connection level, and another alternative, in the list above, for DOH in FF derivatives (including mypal).
-
Thanks for taking the time to test and offer alternatives. I will try this last one, eventually. Cheers!

Hi! I'm trying it now in sp52, but for some reason the menu won't pop up in my setup. Is there anyway to debug it? I checked the console, just in case, but nothing. Thanks!
-
Yes, indeed. Let me play with it for a day or two a day or too. It looks very promising.
-
So, let's say I want to include the key "browser.backspace_action", I just add it using edit list?

Hi @AstroSkipper, I tried some of your toggle buttons, and you e-cleaner, but the toggle buttons were made for functions I don't really change, and I have an alternative for the ecleaner (in the "clean uninstall" addon). However, I like the preftogler concept very much, and looking briefly at the code, I think I can fashion settings I actually may want to change to visit some sites, now and then. And I like your restart and purge startup caches, beginning with the fact that it actually makes a restart, and that it simplifies the process of cleaning said caches when installing/trying new stuff. In mypal68 I also use the restart button, and the about:everything button.

Some (compatible?) scattered here and there, f.e., https://github.com/Infocatcher/Custom_Buttons
-
Unfortunately, the custombuttons forum is gone, and the archive backup cover buttons titles in the forum, but not its contents. http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/index.php

I still get a "Runtime Error (at -1:0):Cannot Import EXPANDCONSTANT" on launching the installer. Thanks for sharing. I will report back if manage to get through this. Be well.

Perfect now, obfuscation working. Thank you very much. As per snowflake, I'm using now the settings in proxallium (0.4.3.0), which I use as gui, but will have to test and learn a bit more to see if it's really working. Thanks again. snowflake_path=Tor\snowflake-client.exe snowflake_args=-url=https://snowflake-broker.torproject.net.global.prod.fastly.net/ -front=cdn.sstatic.net -ice=stun:stun.voip.blackberry.com:3478,stun:stun.altar.com.pl:3478,stun:stun.antisip.com:3478,stun:stun.bluesip.net:3478,stun:stun.dus.net:3478,stun:stun.epygi.com:3478,stun:stun.sonetel.com:3478,stun:stun.sonetel.net:3478,stun:stun.stunprotocol.org:3478,stun:stun.uls.co.za:3478,stun:stun.voipgate.com:3478,stun:stun.voys.nl:3478 BTW: snowflake comes in https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/12.0.7/tor-expert-bundle-12.0.7-windows-i686.tar.gz, tor/plugable transports. Bridges and how tos are there. To make it run in xp you will also have to change references to kernel32 to kernel33, as the Dr. Drill instructions. However, you will have to trust and have enabled webrtc. If you do, it should work well, I reckon.
