Does Netflix work in OTHER BROWSERS in XP?
With silverlight, it works in firefox52, in serpent 52, and at least until a couple of months in palemon 27 (i dropped it once roytam1 solved an issue with zotero in serpent 52). And as I said, it ran today for a while in 2250 as well, but no more.

Interestingly, always on 2250, netflix played for a while, but after a while results in error M7701-1003 (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/27451), asking for widevine (when first playing without it, for a while). Another site that doesn't work is linkedin.
I've got plenty crashes like the one reported by we3fan, but after a while of tweaking things around, it worked. But it is hit and miss, probably.
I didn't quite follow your distaste for dropmyrights, being an effective and quite simple to use tool, nor do I follow how would you use jauntepe to lower rights, but well... I'll keep playing with 2250 every now and then and report back. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.
Can you describe why 2206 did not work in your case?
Unlike your 2250, missing english definitions, and (at least with portable settings) unable to browse

I decided to give Articfoxie's portable 13.0.2250 a try, for "use in case nothing else works" or "it stalls too much in RT1 builds" purposes. It runs quite nicely on my baseline nlited setup, now testing in production. It did crash a bit while testing extensions and such, but after a couple of hours now seems stable. 2206 did not work for me, nor did Humming Owl's 9.x. One thing I would like to see -in these or other versions- is launching using dropmyrights (last link in https://www.grc.com/sn/notes-176.htm) to start with low credentials irrespective of user. It is a nice browser, almost on par -speedwise- with K-meleon. There is the issue of privacy, of course, but for script heavy sites (such as FB, Youtube and the like) it may become mandatory. Cheers!
Following Nihira's recommendations in page 3 of this thread, I made the following changes in chrome flags. Only two of the ones he suggested are available in V13.0.2250
Chrome://Flags Extension Content Verification - Enforce StrictWebRTC remote-bound event logging - Disabled
As per extensions, I also followed Nihira's suggestions, adding a few more. I couldn't make scripsafe work without breaking one too many things.

Has anyone tried this build?I've tried it and works well with tor3 links. Of course, since there is no source available, there are reasons to be careful. But it is good to see that tor3 works in XP.0 -

Doesn't really matter so don't get worked up over it.
"Chinese" is an ADJECTIVE here in the States.
"Hongkongers" is NOT.
So it really all boils down to "vernacular".
Pfff.

May I ask which version exactly that is?
CAA provides up to v0.3.8-Release (Jetpack SDK):https://addons.mozilla.org/el/firefox/addon/canvasblocker/versions/
(v1.5 presumed to be the very same one referenced above by @Dr. Drill
),
with v0.5.5 included
; according to AMO listing, v0.5.9 should be the last to natively support Fx52 ...
Hi! v.0.5.5 is the version downloaded from the link you provided, back in the day. You can presumably find it in the older versions section of said page. v.1.5 is the current version, the one suggested by @Dr. Drill.

Thank you @Dr. Drill. I will try it thorughly. My first try (I go for the tightest thing, always :P) has not been successful. For example, being tight I cannot login to to MSFN. @Sampei.Nihira, what say you, fratelo?
On 5/13/2021 at 3:27 AM, roytam1 said:actually zoom itself is kind-of china related BTW.
Well, what is not China related, anyway?. The problem is never China (or Russia, or -do I dare to say, would they "legally" torture me for wondering so?- the USA). The issue at hand is: is it FOSS? Is it transparent? Can I check what you do? I look forward to see what your efforts on behalf of this small community will bring to a better future, @roytam1. Seriously.

Hi, which version of canvasblocker is currently working in serpent52? I'm using 0.55 from firefox, but I wonder if a newer one could be tweaked to install AND works. There is also the one for basilisk by feodor (v 0.2) and may move to it. Thanks.

What a sad story "Frequent, but inconclusive, BSODs?". I was left wondering if he was ever able to complete a full dump. A decade gone, I can feel the pain

I did, to the best of my knowledge do as instructed, but swapadd doesn't see what memory booster 1 reports. When creating the small pagefile, swapadd picks it up, but not of the size memory booster reports.
So I reckon that all the performance gains (subjective as they may be) came from disabling the pagefile altogether (as @jaclaz recommended somewhere else in this forum, running exclusively on RAM). I am now trying a small fixed pagefile on a non system drive (and a temp drive runing on excess RAM) in my usual PC, and it feels more responsive. Memory booster still picks up a larger pagefile, which moves as I do stuff, but I cannot find it anywhere, with swapadd only picling up the fixed sized I'd created.
Maybe something to do with Vsuite Ramdisk 1.18, downlodable from https://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/vsuite-ramdisk/download.html. When I have a chance will test this in a vanilla system. Thanks for the feedback!

I was just testing an XP3 system, intel I5-769, 8gb DD3 RAM on a P55 motheboard. It probably is a ridiculous thing, but... I have a z:\ [temp] drive made with Vsuite RamDisk (Romex) 1.10, last freeware version running 4gb on undetected RAM. I tried different methods to move pagefile.sys into it, to no avail. My last try was (and I do not know if it has anything to do with it, but who knows) was whats is sugested at http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2102. Now, I COULD NOT move pagefile.sys into it, not that I could SEE. Yet, memorybooster showed me, as in the pic below (with k-meleon running netflix, basilisk 52 heavily tweaked and charged with addons running some top heavy pages youtube -iddle, inclusive-, and both with -relative to hardware- top-heavy nvidiaProfileInspector settings, PLUS a heavy I/O app running javaw using -javaw alone- up to 25% of CPU- that there was a pagefile, somwhere: as shown in the pic, MB detected a pagefile (that I could not see in any partition). As per the link above, I had previously disabled pagefile in system-advanced-performance, ran the addwapp app (to no visible avail) yet 2+GB were used of a pagefile I could not SEE anywhere - neither in C:\ not in Z:\ (which is the ramdisk for temp mentioned before). And the speed of the system... I was flying like I was not doing so since 2006-7. I have not the expertice to ascertain what is making this s*** work, but on this setup, performance was great. Just sayin, the way ignorant folk say s***. Cheers.

i don't think PatchPE is enough, as there are also some missing kernel32.dll functions which need to be patched. In any case, you should be able to run 8u241 as it doesn't need patching at all.
This may be the issue I won't change just for this: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/DirectX-10-for-Windows-XP.shtml

@dmiranda i've done some quick benchmaks with this tool: https://github.com/renaissance-benchmarks/renaissance using java 8 update 20 (i couldn't find update 17), update 152 and update 291. test were run with the following commands, picking the best result for each iteration: rx-scrabble -r 16, akka-uct -r 4, fj-kmeans -r 4
i couldn't find any significant performance difference. everything seems within the margin of error. maybe with other applications or tasks there is difference, but for general data processing and I/O seems the same. results are as follows (respectively: rx-scrabble, akka-uct, fj-kmeans):
update 291: 485.814 ms, 49395.213 ms, 7072.282 ms
update 152: 486.348 ms, 48090.700 ms. 7086.101 ms
update 21: 488.517 ms, 51775.709 ms, 6663.593 ms
i guess the advantage of using newer updates is security enhancements and running modern applications that do require newer updates to run at all.
In my usual system, XomPIE breaks directx, and without XomPIE, update 291 would'nt run. For some apps -those that do not require directX- it suffices to copy the required files (errors reporting missing files) can be solved by copying them into the java/bin folder. This doesn't make the trick, again, for apps requiring directX. This is probably due to tweaks, restrictions in my system. In a vanilla -but heavily nlited- system, it seems to work fine. For me, upd152 seems to be the last version. But I wonder if PatchPE may do the trick. I will try some time, and report back in this post. Thanks!

@Dave-H, BY MISTAKE POSTED HERE - COULD YOU PLEASE MOVE IT? IT BELONGS TO
Hi, I took a first shot. I managed to do the xompie thing in a clean nlited VM. And it seems to work. In my usual pc, though, while working, Xompie breaks a few things -including Serpent. So I xompied java in VM, and copied the converted files to my PC. Will report on use tomorrow. Thanks!

@Dave-H, BY MISTAKE POSTED HERE - COULD YOU PLEASE MOVE IT? IT BELONGS TO
Probably you have it, like me, since forever, and can't get rid of it. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}. A remnant of some of the first versions of flash. EDIT: I was testing xompie around the same time I did this, xompie broke basilisk52, so I was worried this thinghie may have been the cause, It wasn't. In fact, it probably does nothing, other than allowing me to be free of registry errors after almost two decades of watching this key showing up over and over in multiple reg cleaners, with no indication whatsoever on how to delete the damn thing. Now is gone. I'm happy! Ha ha.
The issue -for me at least- was the permissions. Go to the key in regedit, (1) permissions, (2) advanced, where there is an entry (the first one) that says Everyone . Open it and it is set to (3) deny. Change values to (4) allow. Now delete.

I found a version old enough, I don't see how I could setup rules to block the outbound ip addresses.
Besides, is there maybe a free firewall less crappy and cluttered than comodo firewall?
Kerio and Privatefirewall are good alternatives, but I am not sure if they can handle the kind of (ahem) stuff that you may unleash installing software like the ones (but not necessarily so) discussed here. Those installers may bypass your firewall (and other security) settings altogether, "for the convenience of users."

Is it possible to limit memory consumption?
I have a serious memory problem with 360 Extreme Explorer 11.0.2251.0 on a computer when I reach more than 150 open tabs, if I close 360 Extreme Explorer it is not able to start.
I had 4 GiB RAM limited to 3 GiB for the i3 processor video card.
I observe that when reopening 360 the memory consumption increases in a few seconds to 5.36 GiB, then 360 crashes. Playing with the restoration window, I manage to open 360 and close some tabs, at which point the problem disappears.
So I think it is necessary to increase RAM memory, so I install 8 GiB RAM.
Now when opening 360, with the same tabs, the memory consumption increases up to 9.36 GiB RAM, at which point it crashes.
I have tried to remove and put the Windows XP virtual memory (I have SSD disk). I have tried to override the 360 cache but the problem continues anyway.
How can I limit the 360's memory consumption?
I cannot understand why if I cancel the Windows XP virtual memory the consumption increases up to 9.36 GiB RAM with 8 GiB RAM installed.I do not use this 360 browser, but I may, so I follow (which helps in other areas too, given the input provided from users like yourself) this thread. Going to your point, you may want to try Firemin (which despite what the page says, seems to work in XP -but I have not yet found any need for it, so I don't know if it really does) https://www.rizonesoft.com/downloads/firemin/.

The Browser Extension "they" provide for "Firefox" is of the WebExtension format, so will only install in FxESR 52.9.x and Serpent 52.9.0/55.0.0; it doesn't run in KM and it won't install/run in New Moon 27/28, because these browsers do NOT support WEs...
I would like to find one for KM, and will report back if I find it.

Extreme Explorer 360 Chromium 78-86 General Discussion
in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Posted · Edited by dmiranda
Ok. 2206 and 2250 in my setup work well vanilla. With addons, depending on the addons, they crash often, but mostly with youtube. In both cases I was able to come up with addon/settings combinations that work in my system, without youtube crashing, and with most top-heavy scripted pages (FB, gmail, etc) loading with no issues. But again, it is hit and miss, depending on the characteristics of different setups. The main issues is, again, youtube.
I gave Humming Owl's 9.5 version another try, and it runs well and stable. Nether his version, nor 2206 and 2250 by ArticFoxie are DRM enabled. I do swear I watched part of a couple of Netflix movies in 2250 in the first run, though, although I can't replicate now. I must have been dreaming.
Now, if the directory structure in Humming Owl's 9.5 is adapted to replicate the one provided by ArticFoxie, it is possible to run the 360Loader ArticFozie provided, with (I think) the settings given in his 360Loader.ini. With a vanilla default profile (at least) it is possible to simply change the content of chrome/application, shifting versions with no problem (at least in the limited testing I have done).
I am now testing whether or not the registry settings in 360Loader.ini are really needed.
It seems to me that they are unnecessary.360Chrome writes the entries alone, with "wrong" data (bad language definitions and other settings, such as fixed default search engine, etc), so ArticFoxie's reg files in 360Loader.ini are necessary.PS: no need to apologize, ArticFoxie. Thanks for your efforts, and the same to Humming Owl.
