Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
modnar replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Thank you for reply. I use the latest Serpent 52.9 (my main browser) and today it works fine. I guess it had nothing to do with Serpent now because I often run experiments with FSFilters on my machine to find the most optimum configuration and it must have been the filter cascade that triggered that or maybe not - root certificates might also have contributed: 28.8. are the newest and I did have the latest when I experienced this. -

There is also an interview with David Cutler on Youtube that tells why XP is such a mess.

Thank you, roytam1 for the new release! You could try Supermium until Serpent 52.9 can work with Paypal. In its installer I choose "Create shortcuts for Supermium" and "Enable Ungoogled Supermium mode in shortcut" and better for eyes I installed "simple grey" theme from store. BTW - what was mentioned as a reason for BSOD with chrome back then? -

Yes, they are quite slow to load or respond in Serpent 52.9 too. -

@roytam1 Thank you for the update! Also: boc-uxp/mailnews link does not work (404). There are two referer settings, network.http.referer.XOriginTrimmingPolicy and network.http.referer.trimmingPolicy, both set to 0 in my Serpent 52.9 - should both be 2? Edit: network.http.sendRefererHeader is default at 2 though - isn't that enough? :-) -

CAupdater alone should be enough. -
You know it has to resemble the colour of their souls.

Local flea market site ( http://www.bolha.com/ ) must have been changed or modernized - too much for Serpent 52.9 6-21 and one version before, 5-31. I'd say Serpent is missing some functionality? It can still be navigated though... -

Works normally here without any changes to the Serpent 52.9 05-28. -

Thank you for such an exhaustive article for our elderly WinXP. -

Please, someone post the link to the CAupdater - I only have the heinoganda 1.6 cmd-based updater. Would like to have both. Thank you. -

Sweet! I used to run NT4 because it's tiny even compared to NT5 for OpenTTD server. Oh how I dreamt of such a project way back when I ran Win95 and NT4 dual-boot, but then I switched to Win98, WinMe and finally Win2000... -

VK in Serpent 52.9 crashes the browser with mozjs.dll stated as problematic and ozon.ru is just milling about the bot check page (I was shown a message to stop the unresponsive script, so I did). -

I saw I had to use Supermium for websites that are "too new" for Serpent/newmoon (avif support, etc.). -

@covo by the way, what if you right-click on the setting and choose "Reset"? What are your other "gfx" (in about:config search for gfx) settings? @adata I'm using Serpent 52.9 and I too only get spinning wheel when clicking on thumbnail on the forum link you posted and also on techpowerup forum for that matter. -

modnar replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Since last 2 releases of Serpent 52.9 on TechPowerUp forum attached images do not show, when I click on / maximize them, e.g. GPU-Z screenshot attachment. Is there any remedy for this? Probably just have to wait for the upstream to adopt all the "modern" additions to the FF code... -
You could also perhaps use speedguide.net 's TCPOptimizer...

Disk subsystem on XP can be fixed with custom drivers, that obey load order groups and their altitudes.

Default XP filesystem means factory settings for file system in registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem - disable8dot3=0, win31=0, win95t=1. XP disk handling is quite rigid and doesn't really handle any tweaks well, therefore FSFilter Infrastructure group should be 04 and Filter group at 0b.

Windows 7-10 doesn't always make that "System reserved" partition. When there is WinXP installed on E: (second partition on primary disk, secondary disk is D:) and you install Win "7" or "10" on C: or D: (partitions already existing and 4K-aligned) you'll get a normal installation without any hidden partitions created.

In Serpent 52.9 wildberries don't work (checking indefinitely), vk works/shows (didn't log in), instagram works/shows (didn't log in). -

Maybe you're just too quick for the hardware - sometimes it takes a bit to show restore session button/option in "History". It's now faster than ever here after I balanced the FSFilter sub-system: I extend my dumpster fire remark to all Windows. -

You still haven't used the latest version? Restore session has never been broken here (that I would notice) and I do use it from time to time. Sometimes it just take a bit longer to load/show that button/option at the bottom of the start page or in "History" menu. --------------------------- As for that CSS nesting for those icons - I do read the news and if it is about dumpster fire that is Windows NT 6.x, so be it.
