Opera has been updated from version : 95.0.4635.80 to Version: 95.0.4635.84

I installed portable 112.3.4.3. (Release date 12/04) this morning. Everything including Secure DNS works as expected. I never got any errors or crashes from any of the Catxp versions ( 110, 111, 112 ) what so ever. Furthermore clear browsing data has been addressed. https://www.catsxp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=168 Cheers

From catsxp forum ! As it seems chrome 112 works on Windows 7. In the foreseeable future I might give it a try. Cheers ! s6nonqxt9y886fdp » 昨天 19:02 Excuse me please but I don't understand your conversation.

Please Sir, do not jump to unfounded conclusions. I do not use hacks. Updated within the last supported opera 95( chrome 109 ) Kind Regards

No ! last opera is 95. There was an update within version 95. From 95 something to 95.0.4635.80.

@Cocodile Thanks a lot for your input . Much appreciated. Good to know. As it seems another alternative could be Thorium ( Someone here mentioned it, I think it was Jodie Jordan @Jody Thornton if memory serves me right ) which basically is chrome 109 with backported security patches. Of course the usual suspects such as Firefox, librewolf etc.. are still supporting Windows 7. The only thing I don't llike about them is the way they play videos. specially on YT ( stuttering, this has been going on ever since version 92 and Librewolf since version 106. ) Cheers PS: Not long ago a user complained that he could not delete cookies etc.. and catsxp told him this had something to do with the portable version or something along these lines. Later on said user stated that even though this function does not seem to work actually it does. I had to use google translate I don't speak Chinese. Do you reckon I should take this with a pinch of salt ?

Why don't you use the portable version to avoid update business. Click on underlined v 3.3.5 right below Latest Developments, then portable x32 or x64 and take your pick Anyways I'll be installing 112 when final version is out. catsxp willing of course !

@Cocodile Not that I am aware of. I tried to download ( beta 4 112.3.3.5.4 portable wx64 ) and it is working fine. cheers ! PS: I've noticed their site is kind of slow today.

Catsxp : Ver：3.3.4 Kernel：111.0.5563.100 ( final version)has been released. It is working fine on my Windows 7 x64. Under Latest Developments ( Catsxp site) 1.[*]Kernel upgrade:112.0.5615.34 2.[!]Some problems correction and detail optimization Win7+win8: Temporarily disable sandbox functionality by default If this function is enabled, the main window cannot be displayed due to creating a shared memory error! Troubleshooting the specific reason! Also from their forum : https://www.catsxp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=295 I do hope they sort it out. Cheers

Opera browser stable version 96.0.4693.80 was released on 16/03/2023. Said browser was also updated ( W7 + W8 ) to version 95.0.4635.80. I received this update today. Then I came across this : https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2023/03/opera-95-0-4635-80-windows-7-windows-8-update/ My take is that Opera will provide updates, at least for a while, to windows 7 +8 users Cheers

@mjd79 Just a question ! Why would you enable ssl 2.0 and ssl 3.0 since "Both SSL 2.0 and 3.0 have been deprecated by the Internet Engineering Task Force, also known as IETF, in 2011 and 2015, respectively. Over the years vulnerabilities have been and continue to be discovered in the deprecated SSL protocols (e.g. POODLE, DROWN). " Certificates do update without having to do so. Cheers

Indeed ! Page 3 to be exact. https://msfn.org/board/topic/175170-root-certificates-and-revoked-certificates-for-windows-xp/page/3/ Cheers !

Yes Sir

Last night I installed catsxp browser portable which is very similar to Brave ( Brave fork ) and I have to say I really like it. It is using chrome 110. ( Ver：3.2.4 Kernel：110.0.5481.92) If you are not averse to Chinese products, you should give it a go. All extensions based on chrome are supported. You can get it from catsxp.com Cheers

@VistaLover As I can see you sorted that out. Can't find the site/forum where that was stated. I should have bookmarked it, my bad. Cheers

Besides catsxp browser which is a Brave browser fork , please find an ongoing conversation below https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/catsxp-browser.449453/ there is also Epic browser developed for the Indian market. There are two versions one based on chrome and one on Firefox. Both of them seem to be be 6 or 7 cycles behind if I am not mistaken https://epic-browser.en.uptodown.com/windows The chromium based does not support any add ons. I'll be giving catsxp a try in the foreseeable future. Catsxp also working on winxp providing that you can transfer window 7 certificates to xp Cheers

@AstroSkipper I did read your considerations regarding WVstopx with great interest and I'll have to admit I am in a quandary.t seems to be an excellent find. Thank you. For personal research purposes you may also refer to this thread. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/wisevector-stop-x.431502/ Cheers

@AstroSkipper Please bear in mind that the universal key given is ineffectual. Renewal environment is kaput. Of course it has been confirmed that the expired avast software will continue to work. If you are a bit fussy about it you'll have to do a clean install. It is the only solution that really works. Cheers

Not to worry it still works fine and receives virus definitions etc.. If you want to get rid of that red x you can always do a clean install. Please go through this thread : https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=220639.285 On page one you can get 18.8 download also an off line installer is available. Do not forget to use avast clear for xp/vista from reply 295 AvastClear.exe file is 9.63 MB (10,105,016 bytes). https://install.avcdn.net/iavs9x-xp/avastclear.exe Cheers PS: I'll be doing this in about 9 days since I got 8 days left .

They might provide security patches for a while, even thought I doubt it. https://forums.opera.com/topic/58446/will-opera-also-ends-support-for-windows-7-and-8-1/9 Cheers

@roytam1 NM28 sse extensions tab is empty even though extensions working fine as it seems. After a while NM crashed. Get extensions seems to be working. Everything is fine with Basilisk. I reverted back to NM28 sse previous version. Cheers

Yes, indeed. Strangely enough that kb regarding SHA2 was never installed on my system. Anyways I downloaded it from Microsoft https://www.ghacks.net/2022/04/01/firefox-100-requires-the-windows-update-kb4474419-on-windows-7/ My problem with mozilla is, that since version 97 there is a slight stutter on youtube videos that can be very annoying. Even though it has been reported to bugzilla nothing has been done about it. Actually it affects Nvidia cards. I had to use opera or the overbloated vivaldi in order to listen to music or watch videos on youtube. I also downgraded mozilla to the esr version and by changing browser.sessionstore.interval from 15000 to 60000 did the trick . well almost. you still get the odd freeze here and there but sound is not affected at all. Couple of weeks ago I installed Librewolf that plays all youtube videos flawlessly . You can get it from here if you wish. https://librewolf.net/installation/windows/ I am extremely happy with it. Apart from chromium browsers even palemoon and @roytam1 New moon ( on windows XP) reproduce youtube videos perfectly unlike mozilla.

@roytam1 NM28 link w32 and w32 sse not working . 404 error. Thanks

Just to let you know, Video preview does not work in latest official Palemoon.

@Monroe I did use ZA up to 3-4 years ago if memory serves me right but due to updating screw ups ( ZA antivirus was trying to update even though was not installed thus disrupting my work every so often) I uninstalled and installed PC TOOLS firewall plus version 7.0.0.123 considered one of the best firewalls at Matouasec. It has been running flawlessly and I found it to be better than ZA. The software retired about 9 -10 years ago. It is firewall + HIPS.
