I think the more variation in browsing-sources and experimentation, the better. That is the magic of FOSS.

Thank you very much, @KeyCat. I will start building the thing in one month or so, and report back. Cheers!

But in my browsing (not fresh) profiles, sometimes the addon-page comes out empty. Either a conflicting addon, or an about:config setting. EDIT: on refresh it works again...

... Thanks for the confirmation! Can't replicate. Maybe 2023-07-70 was updated? I downloaded just today, after word the about:addons thingie was working. EDIT Note that I delete the following files from basilisk root folder: :: Kill borwsers C:\Desktop\Filemngt\KillProcess.exe BASILISK.EXE C:\Desktop\Filemngt\KillProcess.exe mypal.exe :: Clean basilisk and mypals installations cd C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk del api-ms-*.* del "C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\D3DCompiler_*.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\msvcp140.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\ucrtbase.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\vcomp140.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\vcruntime140.dll" rmdir /q /s C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\uninstall\ copy /y "C:\Internet\Browse\[settings]\1Basic\dependentlibs.list" "C:\Internet\Browse\Basilisk\dependentlibs.list" cd C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal del api-ms-*.* del "C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\D3DCompiler_*.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\msvcp140.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\ucrtbase.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\vcomp140.dll" del "C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\vcruntime140.dll" rmdir /q /s C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\uninstall\ copy /y "C:\Internet\Browse\[settings]\11Mypal\dependentlibs.list" "C:\Internet\Browse\Mypal\dependentlibs.list" Where dependentlibs.list includes entries not deleted by the bat file.

But it works and can still download definitions, give or take a few occasional errors. Somewhere in this forum, couldn't find it, mentioned an xp compatible version of a more current clamav. But I'm happy with clamwin, so I have not tested.

[ot] Damn barracuda. They are not good near the equator's flush vegetation, though :P Got my first and last in 2008, for a computer I was going to use somewhere out there for a few years. A week after beginning to set the pc up, I start noticing problems retrieving data, until the damn thing finally refuses to restart. I opened it, and saw coming and going a small colony of tiny ants that had nested inside the barracuda. Which at that time they were more expensive, bloody ants. I moved to hitachi, still running.

Using downthemall-nightly-20190820 I can't replicate this on build 2023-07-07 of SP52. All fine on a vanilla and browsing profiles on my side.

Indeed refreshing.

I will check it out, thanks. BTW, I have done the same for all browsers and XP, breaking them over and over until I learn to make them do what I want. A thing that (internet-wise) is every day harder to achieve.

I missed this post. Sorry, and thank you. I will try it, but by the looks of it, this command would open an xp app running in a virtual machine, right? As per the original post, I share @SuperWorkstationXPpreference for the xp desktop experience. I will then review the man pages and look around to see how and if I can do the opposite: I want to open a linux app in host (or another linux vm) within a desktop running in an xp virtual machine. A fool's errand, perhaps. Cheers!

I use a bat that deletes existing profiles, copies my clean, vetted profiles into a ram drive, and then launches sp52 preloaded with my extensions and settings (including a fresh storage folder) from RAM. I automatically delete all trash+logs+s*** -including profiles- on logoff, restart and shutdown, as well.

I automatically delete storage on every restart.

Thanks for sharing all this, @SuperWorkstationXP, it is indeed good stuff. Would there be a manner to connect the xp vmachine to apps in linuxmint server, instead? What about connection to the host (in my current very newbie experimentation, a linuxmint too.

In my experience with both sets of 360mods publicly available, Netflix never worked with them. 360 wants to play netflix with html5, and (to my knowledge) doesn't "see" silverlight. In xp, roytam1's sp52 (I also used to try Netflix with his other builds, some time ago) plays netflix if you have silverlight.

Linkedin works now in a fresh sp52 profile.

about:profiles gives you the location, with some basic options.

I never had this issue, maybe because I uncheck "Discover USB devices" in chrome://inspect/#devices

Similar to Anbima's question: will copying the text of the quote on top of the script proposed by Articfoxie suffice to work on TM?

Finally a good explanation. A bitmap cache, perhaps?. I'm transitioning in the different direction. I want a linux with openbsd for non-smb home networking, and want to run XP (as I like it, all stripped down of tricks and in shinny leather, so to speak), for non-internet related stuff and apps. But thank you very much for sharing this.

Them dragons too.

And depending the country you are in, it is not uncommon to find "secure", even oficial sites with badly-made certificates, or with outdated ones. To accept them is either fruit of desperation, oblivion, or of well-informed browsing practices. Roytam1's subforum, and the three+ 360Chome subfora in the parent forum referenced above provide plenty of tips on how to do the later, particularly (but not only) in XP and Vista -very much like Mathwiz said, before. For some problems there is no cure, though, but to trust Android, Windows8+ (forbidden in Germany, for instance, for official use due to its spyware nature), they'll take care of you :P, or go the way of Linux (i.e., Linkedin).

I promise to be polite, educated, and generally normal, like yerself. I stand corrected and in penance: you obviously don't know your own s***. Also your cybersecurity knowledge is not up to date, as you are alerting us about 6 year old problems you later tell us have not been an issue since. I'm wery sowy for not having stated that with much more clarity before. In the meanwhile, and back on topic: very please, and with sugar on top, take notice of where are you writing and for what purpose.

Perhaps you are not aware this is a forum called: Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes Linkedin works better than in chrome (more like in a cage, so to speak) in the latest librewolf in linuxmint, or (freeranging on your data) in its own shinny app in android. Be aware, though, that that has no bearings with what is being discussed here.

You surely are up to date with your fine knowledge of cybersecurity. Keep it up, because if that was indeed true 6 years ago, imagine what is today out there. Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!
