360 Extreme Explorer Modified Version
dmiranda replied to Humming Owl's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Actually, the third and fifth links in my google (nrc and local respectively) points to msfn. https://www.peteyvid.com/ is a nice find. Thanks.- 2,340 replies

Well, I have kept a slim and stable nlited XP since mid-2005. Only since 2017 have I been forced to show face, given the still premature declaration of XP death. When that fails (which is not yet certain, I'm still fighting for the sake of it) Mint with XP (for office) in Xen is next I own that XP mofo, and don't care for any kind of guarantee.- 2,340 replies

Well, YT is a b***h. If a browser can handle three YT tabs (basilisk 52 with e10s enabled often can't) it can handle (mostly) everything else.- 2,340 replies

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
dmiranda replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I don't think that is feasible. The only reason I use their derivatives is because they are adapted by people like @roytam1. Their demeanor and practice is just despicable. With all due respect, and quoting them, butthurt mofos, obviously. -

I missed this one. Yup, it is not constant. In my set up, your last V13, and Humming Bird's V9 and V13 consistently allow me to run 2 YT tabs. Humming Bird's V13 allow me to run 3 YT tabs. In all cases, continued use results (eventually) in tab crashes. I keep thinking most of these crashes in YT are cookie related, but it is most noticeable (almost inevitable, I would say) when using other sites that use DX (I reckon), or when running YT concurrently in basilisk and chrome.- 2,340 replies

First rule of testing: test vanilla. If it works, add extensions, or use with already polluted profile.- 2,340 replies

More stable as in it can run three YT tabs at the same time (and then some) unlike all previous V13 ones (including all of your builds).- 2,340 replies

Anydesk in my daily XP SP3 produces the error reported by @ruthan, but seems to still work (still not fully tested) . Funny thing, it works with no error in my standard vanilla nlited VM. Nomachine installs well, and seems to work, but not yet fully tested. on VNC, tightVNC works well.

My Browser Builds (Part 3)

It works in a vanilla profile. From the pic you share, you have umatrix and ublock installed. YT changes settings monthly. Play with umatrix settings, in particular. -

Force "multiprocess mode" in FF 52
dmiranda replied to Mathwiz's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Be it that it treats a file as a normal tab, be it that the option is "hidden" (you gotta create it the pref in about:config) basilisk52 treats a file as a different process. As of now, my user.js prefs are (auto means that user.js establish the pref without user action, set means that user has to set it manually in about:config, add means that user has to create it in about:config, review means that I'm not sure about it yet): // MULTIPROCESS user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.force-enable", true); // set user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart", true); // auto user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.separateFileUriProcess", true); // add user_pref("dom.ipc.processCount", 4); // set user_pref("dom.ipc.process.webLargeAllocation", 4); // set user_pref("extensions.e10sBlocksEnabling", false); // set user_pref("extensions.e10sMultiBlockedByAddons", false); // add //user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2",); // reset if created If your setup has the juice for it: // ACCELERATION AND GRAPHICS user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", true); // add user_pref("layers.force-active", true); // set user_pref("layers.acceleration.enabled", true); // default user_pref("layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled", true); // default user_pref("layers.offmainthreadcomposition.async-animations", true); // default user_pref("layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled", true); // add user_pref("layers.async-video.enabled", true); // add user_pref("html5.offmainthread", true); // default user_pref("layout.frame_rate.precise", true); // set review user_pref("gfx.direct2d.disabled", false); // default user_pref("gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.force-enabled", true); // set -

NoScript page load/rendering
dmiranda replied to NotHereToPlayGames's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I am keeping it just for the xss, abe, clearclick and object (aka in other in umatrix, I think) blocking functions. I allow scripts globally (umatrix takes care of that, and tighten embedding and advanced options. I cannot be sure how much of all that works, but once in a while I get the odd warning, so I keep it. It "don't" hurt after all. -

"But I digress... " Not really. You are talking about the iceberg below the tip. The current state of firefox really p***es me off. It's like Netscape in the 1990s. For a while, with a FOSS mentality, it managed to challenge IE. Then it tacked in the opposite direction, to disappear in a year or two. Firefox, since 52.9, is following the same c(o)urse, now under the GG rubric.- 2,340 replies

Hi @Sampei.Nihira, if you were to suggest today a list of lists (including both the standard and those not in the standard list), which ones would you recommend, given your research? If it is not too much of an imposition, would you include a list of the links to import? I've been trying to follow this thread, but have gotten lost very often. Of course, if you have the time to do so, ragazzi :P.

Force "multiprocess mode" in FF 52
dmiranda replied to Mathwiz's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
"I was under the impression this pref would only work with FF53 (or Basilisk 55) user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.separateFileUriProcess", true); // add manually" Probably so. I am just testing, and have not yet tried loading file://s. I will soon test with tiddywiki and see. True, I have two nvidia quadro in this setup, so juice there is -but I tried in a lesser VM setup, and it ain't bad at all, compared to the status quo before learning about browser.tabs.remote.force-enable (thanks @Mathwiz). But I also have plenty confidence on the skills and foresight of @roytam1. PS: since my 15s I have cut my hair (myself, with sizers) cherokee (or something like that) style, so I have practice with using black stuff to cover the hairless-spots I've been leaving in my skull. Now I have to find some greyish stuff to do the trick -
Force "multiprocess mode" in FF 52
dmiranda replied to Mathwiz's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
A few more notes: 1) As somebody (sorry, couldn't find the comment) recommended in this forum in the last two days, install process lasso. It definitely helps taming multiprocess excesses that end up in crashes. It is free https://bitsum.com/company-news/process-lasso-v8-final-release-for-windows-xp-and-2003-completed/ 2) I just realized that some items in user.js DO NOT get entered or effect the expected change in about:config (see comments in the user.js entries below. For example, browser.tabs.remote.autostart gets created, but browser.tabs.remote. separatefileUriProcess doesn't. Similarly odd, dom.ipc.processCount gets modified (from 1 to 4), but javascript.options.strict doesn't change from false to true, as instructed in user.js. A pain in the neck. I comment in those items below. 3) In trying to set @XPerceniol suggested useragent, I realized that it did not get entered via user.js. You need to enter such manually (while being there, I tried to reset the useragent.override items for whatsapp and other sites, since I am using uacontrol-0.1.3.1.1-signed.1-signed. I then realized that they cannot be reset! After restart they remain as a name with an empty string. 4)If your machine has the juice, enable hardware acceleration in preferences, and the layers.something noted below. With one process doing so slow things down (I've been there). With multiprocess, it is almost like being back in 2010 (I feel so much younger). Below my current user.js settings: user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.force-enable", true); user_pref("dom.ipc.processCount", 4); user_pref("extensions.e10sBlocksEnabling", false); user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart", true); user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2",); // reset may be addon created user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.separateFileUriProcess", true); // add manually user_pref("extensions.e10sMultiBlockedByAddons", false); // add manually user_pref("dom.ipc.process.webLargeAllocation", 4); // add manually user_pref("layers.acceleration.enabled", true); // already default user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", true); // add manually user_pref("layers.force-active", true); // set manually user_pref("javascript.options.strict", true); // set manually With all of the above, sp52 plays heavy-scrioted sites (YT, gmail, FB, etc) almost as well as 360Chrome. Normal pages load fast! Cheers!
