Nah, it's off. I just checked the CPU usage for the screen saver I was using, and it's...nothing really. Looks the same as idle. I was actually using the "Windows XP" screen saver for years until I noticed it always hijacked focus from the active window (the other screensavers don't do this - of course). So I switched to "starfield." I just like the effect. I plan on trying out one or two of Humming Owl's builds, at least, to see how stable they are. I have the "Russian" version and it is not awful actually, I have to switch the kernel back to webkit a few times a day and I get a CTD maybe every couple of days - I know not to stress it, and I've been copying text before I submit it a lot - but it's ok because it saves the session. Compared to Opera on Windows 7 it's definitely somewhat slower (I'm going to try v11 later), and there are occasional pages it hates or just won't load, but the usability is actually not too far off.

And? Did I not wait long enough for a reply? I wouldn't even have brought it up if you hadn't made your non-reply to it. I wasn't even talking to you. I was just asking the forum for help and YOU stirred this sh-it up. Not me. I just asked an innocent question. I didn't ask for your opinion on it. You're quoting something I wrote about your reply because I don't come here often? O...k... Finally. Thank you for the suggestion. I hope you will understand why this is unsatisfactory. Don't blame XP. Firefox doesn't do this. Chrome doesn't do this. They had a way of maintaining activity without peripheral inputs. I am frustrated by 360's inability here, because I watch a lot of video. A little confusing even since it's Chromium but apparently the part that handles the screen saver/monitor sleeping isn't included. I'm on 360 v12. I can just turn those things off for everything, which is an annoying pain in the a**, IMO not too much different from installing a special program and manually switching it on so that the half broken browser can get worked around.

What are Windows XP updates released after 31 mar. 2012?
Hunterw replied to Sergiaws's topic in Windows XP
Here's an admittedly not very informative list at xin.at concerning post wannacry updates Microsoft made but never bothered to spread around. http://wp.xin.at/xp-x64-post-mortem-updates Some are only for x64, others are for x32 also. By the way, the guy who runs that site is a god and he will help you if he can. -
NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender for Windows XP/2003
Hunterw replied to Mov AX, 0xDEAD's topic in Pinned Topics regarding Windows XP
As it stands the instructions are such a huge pain to implement, and no substantive indication of what may be enabled by doing it. And no GetNumaModeProcessorMaskEx -
Hi, thank you. I've never installed certificates manually before. Seems to work great, I only added a couple. I guess it's possible other important ones are missing but who can say. Of course then 360 Extreme Browser decided to crash every single time it was closed, but that's another matter for another time. My friend came to get his computer, so, whatever!

YT may not work on old browsers anymore, starting March 2020
Hunterw replied to reboot12's topic in Windows XP
We know that. That's who siria linked to. There was no other content in his post. siria was the first person to bring it up in the relevant topic. My instructions were not posted here. They're on reddit, where that solution was shared earlier. Meanwhile people here have been going in circles with various browsers, useragents and URL tricks. -
YT may not work on old browsers anymore, starting March 2020
Hunterw replied to reboot12's topic in Windows XP
And the prize goes to siria. June 2020, I wrote: You need to restrict the user agent to youtube.com or it will wreak havok in other areas. For instance, it's not possible to sign in to YouTube (if you aren't already) as a Google bot. ------------------------- On this end, by default the polymer site loads correctly in Firefox 52 and Chrome 49. They're awful, of course. And the worst thing (for those of use who really use YouTube) is that the video manager has been replaced with the godawful polymer studio. You know. To respond faster to user requests and add all the great features you want. That part of the site is just really slow and messed up, in particular uploading. -
What's the solution for this? I was trying to load my 12.0.1016 on a friend's computer and well, yeah. Lots of certificate errors, and clicking the link crashed the page half of the time, the other half my test site (avira.com) loaded incorrectly with no formatting. I don't have these issues on my own computer.

I've been using 12.0.1016 for a while now, and it's not bad, but the worst thing is the Chinese and Russian. There seems to be no obvious way to tell the browser or sites that it shouldn't be Russian; pages keep showing up in Russian and not all of them let you easily switch languages, or remember when you do. The Chinese, well, some parts of the browser remain Chinese. All in all it's significantly frustrating. Memory usage also seems high, loads of processes for just a few tabs. And now I'm reading updates might make it worse. Great tool, but it hasn't been a main browser for me yet.

My Browser Builds (Part 2)
Hunterw replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
"Interesting" topic going on here... This is a report. Serpent 2019.12.13 (32-bit), XP SP3 Check rendering on https://tv.avclub.com/tegridy-farms-provides-christmas-blow-in-south-park-sea-1840382286 Similar to what is shown on Firefox 52.9.0, although Serpent will load the comment applet, unlike Firefox or Chrome 49. Several projects out there, but if they can't render pages, they aren't doing much...
