    I assume I don't have to do anything to enable it.

    Yeah, as it is almost always the case with chrome, little to no choice, until a hack is found. That a specialized detection site such as brobserleaks uses that specific api doesn't mean all sites do. Meaning: flags/switches that are rendered useless in browserleaks may nonetheless be useful somewhere else. Just sayin.

    OpenVPN (by Cisco) which I have been using

    OpenVPN is quite good too, I used to use it before other user here (our youtubedl guy) suggested quad9, a few years back. Since I've gone bareback since 2014 (except for on demand avast/clamwin and until recently malwarebytes), it seems quad9 (and openVPN before) has served me well.  Be well!

    If I had used KY back in 2014, around the military invasion into Ukraine with subsequent annexation of Crimea in violation of international law, I also would have immediately ceased to use it on my system(s). :P But as I already mentioned, KY was never an issue for me due to many well-known reasons. :no: 

    Yeah, something like that. Same happened to me with a then (2002) equally light AV (NOD32?)following the invasion of Afghanistan, and (Symantec/Norton?) before (1997) when MS started sending its update databases to some intelligence agency a month in advance than it released them to the public. Let me be clear: I currently use quad9 security as systemwide DNS, and their prior equivalents before. I do not quite mind (albeit I don't like it) for big intelligence orgs to have access to my system. Nothing I can do about it, any way. I mind and protect myself from potential intervening on part of the third party subcontractors and the myriad of local agents with access to parts of the "system," and their unchecked capacity to access the backholes left by said "system," for my "safety," mind you.

    I like it very much. I use the same flags and settings reported in the supermium thread, now with your streamlined progwrp.dll, and the results are quite impressive:snappy pages, stable multiple tabs, good YT-GM. In xp, though I still can't enter official EU sites (even with vanilla settings -i.e., no flags/customized local state). For instance: https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/stronger-europe-world/global-gateway_en.....
     

    For vanilla I just run  chrome.exe (renamed for thorium) --user-data-dir=...\Chrome3 --no-first-run --no-default-browser-check.

    Thank you very much for the diligent support, @IDA-RE-things, I have not properly tried your build. I will do so (hopefully shortly) and report back. Cheers!

For instance: https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/stronger-europe-world/global-gateway_en. I use a site to watch movies to learn second languages that used to work fine with all XP browsers, then only with chrome derivatives, then now only with thorium pure vanilla (although allowing for switches --user-data-dir=...\Chrome3 --no-first-run --no-default-browser-check . Overall, great, superior at the time to supermium.  Thanks @IDA-RE-things

    Wow!  

    "I was scanning with MWB and noticed a Kaspersky File flash by. I went to Reg Editor and tried a search to delete it but cant find it. Not being Paranoid but I then get an email to sign up to Kaspersky.  Can anyone help me find the File to delete it"

    link

    I ceased to use KY back in 2014, around Ukraine's coup d'etat, figuring it was going to go the way of "western" AV (i.e., serving another version of echelon). Back then there was a tool that worked quite well: KAV Removal Tool 1.0.179.0 © 1997-2011 Kaspersky Lab ZAO.

    Mine never grows beyond 30 MB. I don't know what you people are doing with uBO TBH.

    Pack it to the brink with probably unnecessary lists. Back when @Sampei.Nihirawas on XP he helped us keeping it to a minimum. As stated above, the slow startup issue is a sp52 issue, though, and happens even with the minimal list basic lists, as the corresponding sqlite grows and fragments. This is not an issue with mypal, that uses "storage" (can't remember technical name) which can be switched on in sp52 but is too rudimentary to be used with webextensions (assuming you can patch them to use "storage" instead of sqlite)..

  8. 2 hours ago, AstroSkipper said:

    And legacy extensions are not that heavy as webextensions

    In my experience this is also true except for Ublock. As discussed in one of your threads, the sqlite gets to grow to 80+mgb, and takes a while to load. In mypal, with basically the same lists, but using "storage", it is 25mb, and loads almost instantly (around 1 second).

  9. In mypal (reported in the corresponding thread) where a post text snapshot should be there now appears an "undefined" tag (same with messages, beginning last week). You need to be logged in.

    In basilisk (vanilla), in my set up, I can't login (reported in prior versions of this thread a year ago or so). In my hardened profile, I get a blank page or The connection has timed out thingie.

    I think the phrase you intended is "the end is nigh" (sort of archaic English - even native speakers may not be familiar with it)

    ha ha, yes. the t' in "it's" escaped my edition (I always send first edit later, as otherwise wouldn't send anything). The nite I would have kept anyway. Probably taken from 1990s internet riffraff lingo. Nuff said.

    I already tried sending an email to the pixai staff about it about 3 weeks ago or so when this first began on the seperent browser, cause i swear it was just fine before until one random day a few weeks ago. And i even mentioned it in one of their google form surveys they had on the site... and... no response and nothing.

    During the last 2 weeks a number of sites stopped working in basilisk and even mypal: linkedin used to work fine in basilisk a few months ago, and in Mypal (vanilla) up to 2 weeks ago. Not any longer. Official EU cites idem. They now just remain empty. EU official sites won't even load in chrome derivatives (thorium or supermium) vanilla. The end it's nite for many sites in XP.

  12. Cheers @AstroSkipper. Thanks for creating this thread. Smplayer devs have started building their last version with qt5.6, which works fine in XP, at least in my set up. Better than ever, actually, although still with issues playing composite (DVD like, multiple) files.

    That's it! If u need screenshots of everything let me know. Tested and working in WinXP (with a 1.6 Ghz Atom, 2 GB of ram, and a normal HDD). i'm not affiliated with the creator, just an average user.

    Hi @Berno_sour, quite interested, really. I have tried the latest smplayer and not only does work in XP as is, but does (on conditions I have not quite yet figure out/explored in detail) play DVD content sequentially, as it is supposed and MPC-HC does (although not always, gotta keep experimenting and most of my dvds I have transformed into mp4, but not all). I would welcome more info on your workflow smplayer-smtube. Thank you.

  14. gfx.font_rendering.opentype_svg.enabled - false

    svg.disabled;false  false (sometimes default in many of ort browsers)

    svg.context-properties.content.enabled;false (sometime default in many of our browsers)

    svg.new-getBBox.enabled;false false(sometimes default in many of out browsers)

    Can also play with cache size for svg, but I've found it unnecessary.

    I installed it normaly and it works, have not tried anything related to portable. 

    It's gotta be something with my nlited setup. I have v5 full, so I'm ok. I just wanted to try any different functionality. Cheers!
