My Browser Builds (Part 2)
dmiranda replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Suggestion based on my usage -merely as food for thought, given the amount of interest (and fun!) roytam1's FOSS spirit is making possible in the XP (and Vista) world- divide the thread in three (I use RT1 as heading for example, I like it): 1 - RT1 Builds [Official]:where only roytam1 and those who are more actively supporting him development-wise (roytam1 should call it) have posting rights. Just "official" stuff, like releases and tutorials. 2 - RT1 Browsers Discussion: to discuss issues about the builds (like pluggins, about:something issues, "version xxx breaks my grandpa's page"), EXCLUDING addons 3 - RT1 Browsers Addons: well, just that 4 - RT1 Mail Client and Other s***: mostly mailnews, and other stuff Just sayin. Be well. -
My Browser Builds (Part 2)
dmiranda replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Thanks roytam1! I have not yet fully test it (I will), but installs correctly, and saves media as it should. The only glitch I have found, so far, is that even if I change preferences to open in a tab, Zotero opens in a panel. This is solved (manually, but sticks during session -probably even after closing session, will report) by pressing the "toggle tab mode" button (top right, just near to the "close" button). I will finally be able to stop using Palemoon 27, which I started using just for Zotero, a couple of years ago. Thanks again! -
Dimio software rules. Dsynchronize (works perfectly in XP) is the best, btw.

It works. Times being what they are, I hope that is so for the best :P

All right. I have been testing for a week or so. It may make a difference with many tabs up. I'll stick with the latest. Thank you ArticFoxie. -

Quite interesting. Unfortunately I don't seem able to download anything earlier than 2020-09. Thanks, ArticFoxie. -

Referent to the conversation around what version of the builds to use: which basilisk 52 do you guys who benchmark recommend? I have been using the last version but the loading lag is growing, which I assume may be a function of the scripts used in current pages, but may also be a function of the build. Just wondering. -
I have 5.2.38 running. I dont know if it would work with all OS, though.

Copy that. Pspad works perfectly. I guess that solves my choice. -

IT runs with no problem, but many times it says "the file doesnt exist" when opening using double click. Opening from inside notepad++ (file>open) works fine, even identifying the relevant directory from which the failed double clicked file was originally launched. If anyone has had this issue and have solution, please share it. Cheers! -

Is ublock 1.17.2 working for you? In my case it is blocking, but the interface to block and see what is being blocked is empty... Basilisk 52 last version. -

Thanks. I made it work with SMplayer, but after some changes. I have the last version (19.10) portable, but the MPV version on it doesn't work in XP. So I went to older versiones and found that the MPV version included in SMplayer 17.3.0 does the trick. Kept looking around, and made it work in VLC 3.08 (not portable). Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/videolan/vlc/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua and copy into a text file that you have to save as YOUR-VLC-FOLDER\\lua\playlist\youtube.lua. Works beautifully, as all good things gotta be. Cheers. PD1: attached the settings.ini for SMplayer (portable version) that goes in the root folder. Unfortunately, the streaming stops at the add. But I guess some more tweaking may do the trick. smplayer.ini -

Interesting. You simply enter the app? Can you share an example? -
The trick is to block internet access to CCleaner. You can do so with any freeware firewall still working on XP. For instance, privatefirewall7.0

Hi, FYI, last version 2020-03-07 of palemoon27 is phoning home to 104.22.13.159, palemoon.org -
Last time I got nailed was the "all your bases are belong to us" thinghie, because of my unwise use of a proxy app that doesn't exist anymore. This was back in the early dubya years. Awful thing to see Saddam Hussein laughing at you telling you "all your bases are belong to us", lemme tell you.

No idea really. I haven't seen a nag or annoying add for years, neither on my XP desktop, beyond the occasional testing in a VM, not everywhere else, including my android. Call me lucky if you want. Download the last portable (5.5?) version, that is all there is to it.
-
Unless there is a ccleaner portable version, I won't use it or recommend the installer version. It is nagware, at least. I will stick with the current functionality in 5.63.7540, and keep updating the software included for cleaning using ccenhancer at https://singularlabs.com/software/ccenhancer/

Looking around the page below (I use fileoptimizer every now and then), saw this thing: https://nikkhokkho.sourceforge.io/static.php?page=PatchPE Supposedly, " PatchPE is a patcher for PE executable headers, that could make them compatible with older versions of Windows. Additionaly it enables LAA (Large Address Aware) attribute to the EXE, so it can take advantage of allocating more than 2 GB. of physical memory. Recent linkers, use to add latest versions on the headers, so, you can find programs that are marked to work only on Windows 10, but once patched, they can work in Windows XP, or even 2000 or NT." Has anybody tried it?

Mailnews 2019-11-16 is contantly phoning palemoon: IP Server: 209.222.17.76. I have it blocked in my firewall, but it fills my log of garbage. Just sayin Serpent 2019-12-07 breaks addons "open with edge, Ie, chrome and more 4.0.0" and "profile switcher 1.7.7" -

EXTENSIONS: Somebody in the previous thread suggested using uacontrol-0.1.3.1.1. It works well, at least on sites I use, and makes it easier to change settings fast and easy. With the last versions of serpent52, the zotero addon zotero-4.0.29.25 ceases to work altogether. Up to October, I could still save media to the database, even if I could not see the entries. Now it wont start. In pm27 it still works, but doesn't show icons. -
Skype is now forcing version 8, which doesnt work in xp anymore. The only way around is webskype on browser (I use roytam1's New Moon basilisk52), adding to about:config a new string with: general.useragent.override.skype.com; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3683.103 Safari/537.36 For more info (and browser alternatives) check http://www.skaip.org/skype-for-web-on-windows-xp-and-windows-vista
