We need to take Climate Change seriously
NotHereToPlayGames replied to Dibya's topic in General Discussion
Agreed! I consider myself quite "frugal" and a bit of a penny-pincher. Some call it "minimalism". I don't buy in excess and I'd rather scrape the mold off of a piece of bread instead of throwing it away. I don't "recycle". I throw garbage away at the curb. Everything thrown into one bin. I don't "sort", if it's trash, I throw it away, all in one bin. But that doesn't make me an environment-killer! How so? Well, it's like this, when the Prius-owner neighbor looks down his nose for me driving a Jeep, I ask him how long a tank of gas lasts him, he says roughly one week, I tell him a tank of gas in my Jeep will last me TWO MONTHS. And I can stretch it into THREE MONTHS. On ONE tank of gas! The PRIUS-owner is "consuming" more dynosaur-oil than I am! My trash is the same way. It takes me FOUR WEEKS to fill up one kitchen-size 13-gallon trash bag. Yet the Prius-owner is carting out two fifty-gallon city-provided bins each and every week, stuffed so full that the lid doesn't even close. And another neighbor looks down her nose at me for throwing aluminum cans into the city bin instead of hauling them to "recycling". She lives paycheck to paycheck and loves the money for recycling. I've watched dear ol' dad recycle his aluminun cans for decades. Five to eight trash bags full at a time. He wouldn't crush them and he'd get $10 to $20 or so for five to eight gigantic trash bags. And mom would always remind him, "We spent more than you got just to drive them here and to buy ant killer because of all the ants they attract." -
Nope, not if your only concern is rebased versus not-rebased.

Agreed and many thanks. Yes, 360Chrome has been a game-changer for me as well (unsure how long it will last). I'd be curious on XP versus Vista versus 7. My paradigm is that NEW vulnerabilities are created only for NEW operating systems. How many people in the entire universe spends their time seeking out vulnerabilities and seeking to gain access to Win 3.1 systems? One also has to remember that CVE "vulnerabilities" are often times "theoretical" and have never been encountered "in the wild". Don't misread, we must "safeguard" and all of us MSFN XP users have our own lines of defense - we're not running the streets naked, as the saying goes.

In a nutshell - not relevant. For one, that only tracks "official Chromium", not Chromium Forks. Further, this sort of "vulnerability tracking" is only relevant to those that do not run XP. If you are "concerned" or "worried" when you visit a "report" such as that, then XP IS NOT FOR YOU. Neither is Win10, as far as that goes. When a user opts to run "older" Operating Systems and in turn Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes (ie, the TITLE OF THIS THREAD), that user is aware and ACCEPTS the RISKS associated therein.

I have opted to do a 13.5.2036 in the coming days/weeks. No real timeline on estimated completion.
-
In rethinking this, I am leaning towards a possible Build 2036 Rebuild 1 in the near future. 13.5.2022 was released in May 2022 and there were THREE releases in ELEVEN DAYS. Four MONTHS passed before 13.5.2036 was released in September 2022. We are now just shy of SEVEN months since Build 2036 was released. My HOPES are that upstream is officially at a "final" v13.5. At any rate, the several months and no "three releases in eleven days" is more reassuring that Build 2036 didn't INTRODUCE bugs.
-
Rebuild 8 is still to be considered "latest and greatest". I've uploaded Rebuild 6 so that Anbima can verify that rebased chrome.dll is or is not the cause of other programs now being problematic.
-
Links for Rebuild 6. Not rebased. But will also be missing other miscellaneous changes made along the way as I do not document "change logs" for such a niche project. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwtlmyoebk4j0hc/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_rebuild_6_ungoogled.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/sn3s4ra40gby6cp/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_rebuild_6.zip?dl=1

I'll upload this evening. I wouldn't suspect the rebase to cause errors with other programs but doesn't hurt to verify.
-
My course of action thus far has been to run XP x64 as my Host and only run Win10 as a VirtualBox Guest. So far, I've needed that Win10 VM zero times. But yeah, I'm prepared for the day that I will have to resort to it just to reconcile a credit card statement.

lol Figures something "kiddy-like" [ie, "child-like"] (kitty-like?) that exists. I still define that as "for the gamer" and I've not played any games since the Mrs. Pac-Man table-top unit was no longer at the local Dairy Queen in the late 80s or early 90s.

Looks to me like an "identity crisis" web browser. Intended customer is the "gamer" crowd that want their web browser to look like a "game". Not for me, but "to each their own". All it's missing is a machine gun at the bottom that you aim at your mouse-clicks using a "game controller" instead of a mouse.
-
Very possible. That's why two of my laptops now have Win10 instead of XP. So by the time 2025 rolls around, I should have it tweaked and customized to my liking. I have no plans. Don't let the build number fool you, it has no "real world" benefit over the previous TWENTY (not an actual count) versions of v13.0 and v13.5 combined. All the same exact v86 rendering engine with just Chinese "stuff" thrown in that we strip out anyway.
-
I have my own modified version of DcBrowser. But I am not a fan of DcBrowser, it's a step "backwards" (v75 versus v86), I don't like the GUI, and so I've abandoned it before sharing it publicly.
-
That seems like a step backwards when we have v86 and v87 forks available.
-
I personally prefer the SQUARES. Why install a font that I can not read?
-
Agreed!
-
I don't see anything! If the web site loads and functions, then who cares if it throws up some "banner" saying they don't "support" your browser. Those "banners" citing "support" despite the web site "working" is about as usefull as the web site owner plastering a banner on what sports team s/he "supports".
-
Technically, v11 is faster. It launches faster, it scores faster, and it passes more checks at BrowserAudit. BUT it's too old for me to use because my banking sites will not function on v11. What I don't understand is the hype surrounding DcBrowser and MiniBrowser, I've never liked either one but web browsers are always always always "in the eye of the beholder".
-
My Google Drive works perfectly fine in v13.5. What part of Google Drive is not working for you?

My Browser Builds (Part 4)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Not likely. And I say that as an XP user. I think we XP users think far too highly of our influence in this world. -
In tracking something else down (below pic), I may have found the bookmark star clickety-clickety-clickety. But may be a long while before I upload another round.
-
Ah, thanks. I have not been able to replicate here either. Well, I did once but I have not been able to repeat it consistently. But I also cannot understand why somebody would click the star "repeatedly".
