I don't think you are seeing the bigger picture. It's all about FLOPS. Or Giga Flops (GFLOPS). Remember that most of us here are using computers 10 to 20+ years old, most of us don't see the need to run top-of-the-line brand-new gaming PCs. Xbox 360 is 18 years old. The Xbox 360 was rated at 240 GFLOPS. PlayStation 3 is 17 years old. The PlayStation 3 was rated at 230 GFLOPS. PlayStation 4 is 10 years old and is rated at 1843 GFLOPS. Xbox One X is 6000 GFLOPS. PlayStation 5 is 10,280 GFLOPS. Xbox Series X is 12,000 GFLOPS. On average, a mid-range Intel Core i7 processor can perform around 100-200 GFLOPS (billion floating-point operations per second). An i3 is only 110-120 GFLOPS. Yes, an 18yr old Xbox 360 can beat the living tar out of any "modern" i3, i5, or i7 !!!

My Browser Builds (Part 4)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Agreed! Been blocking them for years. I also block "box-shadows". Tons of box shadows on a page seems to effect scrolling smoothness so I just disable all of them. -
For those trying to follow the XP antivirus/firewall thread(s), may I ask which program you are using? I have given Windows 10 Firewall Control Free XP a trial-run and it seems okay and LIGHTWEIGHT. I have "never" been a fan of antivirus because they have always SLOWED DOWN MY COMPUTER (afterall, we are talking older computers). I would like a "small list" of antivirus programs that the followers of the antivirus/firewall thread IS ACTUALLY USING and I'd like to perform some actual "performance comparisons" (ie, effect on actual computer "speed").

wallapop is failing at Intl.NumberFormat. Chrome supports it since version 24 for most sub-features and since version 64 for other sub-features. There are some sub-features not supported until Chrome version 106 but I am not seeing them being used at wallapop (I do not have my normal debug tools available here at work). What browser are you using in Win7 and does it show up as "green" here - https://caniuse.com/?search=intl.numberformat

That error isn't actually telling us anything. Error messages have to come from the Console tab in Dev Tools and not the browser content area where web pages are displayed. The last time that the content area showed that error, TWO polyfills were required to clear it. I think they were Object.hasOwn() and randomUUID() but I'm not 100% positive.

Will there be an ungoogled version? I think it was asked in the past but I don't recall seeing a definitive "yes or no".

Any free antivirus for Win7 in 2023?

My brain is so awesome that the voices in my heard were crickets chirping as I read through the post dates of that mobile section. -

I've often wondered if I should "share" my Win10 mod's. I will not! But I have often wondered what kind of "traction" or "userbase" it would add to MSFN. But alas I also thought that with 360Chrome and the harsh reality is "we are a dying breed". Win10 works perfectly well on "older" hardware. No! Not 20yr old hardware! But works perfectly well on 10-15 year old hardware! Unfortunately, MSFN only gets new members trying to turn their "older" hardware or "older" OS into a GAMING PC - MSFN is not a "gaming communitiy" (we have several gamers, I am not amongst them, but "gaming" isn't MSFN's 'bread and butter'). These new members last a week, if that! Then it's back to us "regulars". Unsure what our average AGE is, but something tells me it's way over mid-40s. Do we even have a section dedicated to SMART PHONES? That is the ONLY thing that "kids these days" even USE! But why would we have a section dedicated to SMART PHONES, wouldn't we need a "mobile version" of the web site for them to even visit? I say that with so many Stylus tweaks applied to MSFN that I kind of forget what it is "supposed" to look like - my view would work on a mobile device but it is FAR from the "default" layout. -

I actually support kernel modification discussions. I am unsure of the HISTORY behind why they are not allowed here at MSFN. But also know the "can of worms" it legally brings upon MSFN. I have been members of several "modification" forums over the years (I used to publicly share an "Adobe Reader LITE" complete with how-to instructions on how to create it yourself (I provide how-to instructions for 360Chrome also, I might add)). I don't recall if that was WinCERT, RyanVM, etc. There were, and I'm sure still are, several folks providing a LITE versions of Adobe Reader. I actually STILL use my "modified" Adobe Reader. I do have to occasionally download a "portable Foxit" or "portable Sumatra" for 'modern' PDFs but this still opens 99% of PDFs that I throw at it. Microsoft clearly is/was against such programs as vLite, nLite, NTLite, WinReducerEx, et cetera. But isn't/wasn't MSFN the "home" for nLite? So MSFN clearly supports something that Microsoft does not. Like I say, "a fine line".

And if we are being "truly fair", to anybody that is "concerned" with CVE reports - "why are you on Win7 then?" Shouldn't the "sky be falling" with all of the CVEs reported for Win7? Afterall, "Windows 7" has 1,412 CVE reports to "Windows 10" having "fewer" at 1,195 and to "Windows 11" having "only" 81. Heck, "Windows XP" only has 656. NONE of these stop MSFN Members from using Win7 or XP. Or Vista with their 737 CVE reports. I am not "for" or "against" Kaspersky! But come on, let's be a bit more "fair and unbiased" in our discussions. Our "whole universe" should NOT revolve around a CVE report from 2019. There are ways to REMOVE the "unique Product ID" if you guys truly WANTED to, but the reality is that you'd rather "talk it down" as opposed to seeking/discussing SOLUTIONS. -

SO IS NORTON, SO IS McAFEE, SO IS COMODO, SO IS AVIRA, SO IS AVAST, SO IS MALWAREBYTES, SO IS AVG... Use that database web site and perform some searches for other antivirus programs -- https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search I'm showing 75 for Avast - read through all of them before using any Avast product and if they apply to the product you wish to use. I'm showing 90 for Kaspersky - read through all of them before using any Kaspersky product and if they apply to the product you wish to use. I'm showing 25 for Malwarebytes - read through all of them before using any Malwarebytes product and if they apply to the product you wish to use. 114 for Norton... 37 for Avira... 40 for AVG... 44 for Comodo... 482 for McAfee... No, that's not a typo, four hundred and eighty two... 3,019 when I search for Firefox... Again, not a typo - three thousand and nineteen... 38 when I search for Chromium... 3,440 when I search for Chrome... 6,728 when I search for Linux... Six thousand seven hundred and twenty eight... 557 when I search for antivirus... Pointing out these CVE "issues" does have its place, but it is mostly FEARMONGERING - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearmongering -
FREE VPN Tools to Fight Internet Censorship

I personally don't bother. But I don't give them my fingerprint either. If the web site doesn't let me in because they can't fingerprint me, then I move on to another web site. I have options on web sites and don't live in a country where my web browser needs fingerprinted just so that I can buy a sandwich. -
Just on the home front, I have 8 computers. 3 of them are used each and every day! My "newest" is the workhorse Dell XPS 8700 from 2013, originally with 8 GB RAM, upgraded to 16 GB RAM. Came with Win7 Home, intentionally "downgraded" to XP x64. My "finances" computer is an emachines T3656 from 2008. Technically it was given to me by a neighbor in January 2009 - they basically gave away a Christmas gift that their own family had given to them! It came with Vista Home Basic and only 1 GB DDR2. The neighbor downright HATED IT and offered me a TRADE for an even OLDER computer that I had lying around with XP on it. AMD Athlon 64 with 2 GB RAM. I've never upgraded any GPU's, I don't do games and never needed anything more than cheap OEM onboard graphics. I intentionally "downgraded" to XP x86 and increased to 4 GB RAM (still only DDR2, 3.24 GB available, more than enough for what I use it for). It came with a Celeron 440 @ 2.0 GHz. I upgraded it to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz (best I could get with current motherboard, more than enough for what I use it for). "This thing is so old" that it has three 4:3 17" monitors, doesn't even have widescreen, lol. It's been very good to me (after the upgrades), especially for a FREEBIE.
