This sounds like a DNS issue to me. I would personally DISABLE any DNS cacheing and see if your delay goes away. I would also DISABLE any-and-all settings that claim to improve speed! Also, watch the status bar area and see if it says something to the effect of Resolving Host during these observed delays.

You shouldn't need to add these if you have the correct certificate installed. The certificate that should be added to the operating system's store is called proxcert_certonly.pem Also, please note that I could not get Proxomitron Reborn to generate a working certifiate from the original proxcert.pem, I had to create an updated proxcert.pem first and then generate a certificate from that updated proxcert.pem.

I couldn't find a way

You have to install the certificate into BNavigator. If you have 20 web browsers, you may need to do this for all 20 of those web browsers as many web browsers have their own set of certificates independent of the Operating System's set of certificates. Go to Vista's Internet Properties -->> Connections tab -->> LAN settings button -->> checkmark the box that says to use a proxy server -->> Advanced button -->> set HTTP and Secure to use localhost on port 8080 In BNavigator, go to Edit -->> Preferences -->> Proxies -->> set to Use system proxy settings In BNavigator, to to Edit -->> Preferences -->> Certificates -->> Manage Certificates -->> Import --->>> import the Proxomitron certificate that you created after you figured out your ClamWin was making life too difficult (I check all three boxes)

Nothing really out of the ordinary is required for 360Chrome (do note that 360 Explorer and 360Chrome are not the same browser, I've not used 360 Explorer). Go to Vista's Internet Properties -->> Connections tab -->> LAN settings button -->> checkmark the box that says to use a proxy server -->> Advanced button -->> set HTTP and Secure to use localhost on port 8080 Make sure that 360Chrome is set to Use IE Proxy

I'm assuming XP -- when you go to XP's Internet Properties settings and then go to the Content tab, do you have the Proxomitron certificate installed?

In Chrome v49, you have two options. Chrome v49 will by default use your operating system's Internet Properties LAN Settings (ie, it shares the same Proxy Server that is set up for Internet Explorer) - Or you can install an extension such as Proxy SwitchySharp -

Looks like I won't be able to get to this for a couple of days.

I'd be interested in dedicating an old machine for some testing. Do note that I've never done anything with extended core/kernel so it would be all extremely new to me.

Looks like that should do it. I haven't technically tried on this end, I will dig up v49 later today and verify.

I haven't used Chrome 49 for quite some time but if memory serves, it forces you to use the same proxy as XP's Internet Explorer unless you jump through hoops to get around that. I used an extension called "Proxy SwitchySharp" (version 1.10.7). The developer has moved on to "Proxy SwitchyOmega" but I kept my v49 at SwitchySharp.

I guess I read it as a "text emoji" when I first read the >=

I've personally "given up" on UXP browsers 360Chrome v11 (Chromium 69) has been able to do 99% of everything I've thrown at it then I use 360Chrome v13 (Chromium 86) for that tiny 1%. I kinda don't see myself returning to anything-Mozilla until @feodor2's Mypal "2.0" hits the scene (very likely delayed due to recent geopolitical events) - looking forward to seeing what it will have to offer. Please stay safe, @feodor2

My weekend venture - One of the neighbors requested I set up a budget for her since she's now on Social Security and on a fixed income. She was bragging over the weekend that her water bill went down $3 for the month and she says it is because she now only flushes her toilet for #2 and does not flush it for #1 - um, for one, GROSS. But I have my "teacher's hat" on and I'm being nice to her, we go to her water bill web site and it has her 23 most recent water bills. They all show her at 748 gallons per month except ONE -- December is at 1496 (note, that's 748 times 2). I explain to her that the water bill company does not charge you "per cup", they charge in 748 *gallon* increments. I walk her over to her bathroom and printed right on the toilet is "1.6 gallons per flush". That's FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN AND A HALF "flushes" to hit 748 gallons. Or SIXTEEN per day for a 30-day month. Granted, where in that 748-gallon "teir" is her typical month is not shown on her water bill. Told her she should flush her toilet every time, be it #1 or #2, and to count how many times she runs the washing machine per month. Explained that a typical washing machine uses 40 gallons per load. That's only 18.7 loads per month, or roughly 4.7 loads per week. It is the WASHING MACHINE that bumped her up into the second "tier", not her toilet.

I use Notepad++ version 5.8.6 "minimalist". But a quick search seems to show that most of the "old version" sites are scrubbing their XP versions. Guess I haven't tried if regular XP's Notepad will open an .rdf file or not, would assume that XP's WordPad would though.

Use the "Download Anyway" link from this site --- https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ Extract the downloaded user_agent_switcher-0.7.3-fx+sm.xpi to a folder called user_agent_switcher-0.7.3-fx+sm Open the install.rdf file contained within the user_agent_switcher-0.7.3-fx+sm folder using your preferred text editor Add the below as a new "em:target" -- <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>25.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>29.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> Save the edited install.rdf Highlight all of the files and folders in the user_agent_switcher-0.7.3-fx+sm folder and create a user_agent_switcher-0.7.3-fx+sm.zip file from all of the highlighted files and folders Rename the .zip of the new file to .xpi Now go to the Add-ons page in Mypal and go to the "gear icon" in the upper right corner by the search input field and drop down the "gear icon" and select "Install Add-on From File..." Select the new user_agent_switcher-0.7.3-fx+sm.xpi that contains the edited install.rdf You should now have the User Agent Switcher add-on installed in your Mypal edit - then right-click empty space to the right of the open new tab plus sign and select "Customize" Scroll down the drag-and-drop the User Agent Switcher icon to the area to the right of the toolbar downloads icon, if you have other add-on icons being displayed you can drag and drop to where you want this icon

Add the following string to about:config --- general.useragent.override.addons-legacy.palemoon.org -- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:4.8) Goanna/20211001 PaleMoon/29.4.0.2 Then visit this site --- https://addons-legacy.palemoon.org/releases/togglejscript/ The "Install Now" button should now be active and should install for you.

Very true! (That is, as long as you prescribe to the philosophy that "truth" is 'relative' versus 'absolute'.)

Same here. But it was not the only "date bug" -- - January 4, 1975 --- overflowed 12-bit field used in Decsystem 10 operating systems (text-oriented Star Trek type game, Pascal compiler, Lisp AI, Fortran compiler [I took a Fortran class while at Purdue in the 90s]) - September 9, 1999 --- aka, 9/9/99 and conflict with 9999 which was commonly used to specify unknown dates - the year 2010 --- dubbed Y2K+10 or Y2.01K - conflict between Binary Coded Decimal 0x10 for the number 10 versus Hexadecimal encoding the number 10 as 0x0A and 0x10 representing the number 16 in Hexadecimal - the year 2022 --- aka, Y2K22 - the maximum value of a signed 32-bit integer - the year 2038 (okay, this one isn't here yet) --- dubbed Y2K38 - only an issue on 32-bit Unix systems

lol I did the math also. Kinda surprised somebody else did too. Though I submit that this is not "linear" (I include ESR, Android, and Desktop releases - why? Because I don't think that Android and Desktop "have" to follow the same version numbers, they are two distinctly different products). But that does convolute "number of releases" with "four-digit version number". Wikipedia indicates that Firefox had 11 releases in only 6 months (so I shall average this as 22 for the year) of 2011, 31 releases in 2012, 31 releases in 2013, 32 releases in 2014, 45 releases in 2015 --- see where I'm going? I counted 63 for 2020 -- I acknowledge that counting ESRs, Android, and Desktop releases separately does "inflate" these numbers. 46 for 2021. 22 + 31 + 31 + 32 + 45 + 63 + 46 = 270 270 / 7 = 39 average per year So that at least brings your 70yr estimate down to 26 years So I'll make a bold prediction -- right now we are drawing in very close to three-digit version numbers and if we keep doing decimated versions like 90.0 to 90.0.1 to 90.0.2, that's SIX character spacings. So my bold prediction is that somewhere within that 26 years that we lose the decimal point completely -- we go from 110 to 111 (three character spacings), be don't do any 110.5.0 or 110.5.1 (seven character spacings). And we'll be at those four digits before you know it. Waka waka waka...

Agreed! I've always "hated" the weekly updates. Seems to me that some folks just feel "naked" unless their anti-virus definitions update every twenty minutes instead of every twenty days and so they carry that same logic over to their web browser. The only justification I see for "weekly" is that it makes Roytam's job a teany-tiny-tad easier - update 50 line items every week as opposed to 200 line items once a month. But all-in-all, 90+ percent of the 50 weekly line items have ZERO effect on daily web browsing - you'd have to find the 100 web sites among the 1.7 billion known to exist where that particular line item has "any" effect whatsoever. Unfortunately, we live in a world where folks see 50 line items and assume that each and every line item has a direct effect on "millions" of web sites.

lol - yeah, they're already worried about 3-digit version numbers in the User Agent string. And at this rate, four-digit version numbers is quite literally (not figuratively, but LITERALLY) "just around the corner".

I hold that same unpopular take regarding Roytam1, but never really felt that towards Feodor2. Neither here nor there, "it is what it is". Agreed! I was never able to even Resource Hacker that old raccoon and intentionally stayed on an early version of Mypal just to avoide the raccoon. I do definitely look forward to Mypal "2.0".

No issues, D.Draker. Carry on. I'll add this thread to my "out-of-site, out-of-mind" Stylus sheet. I was not trying to take sides but see how it probably looked that way. But correcting people's grammar (not just me, I've seen this done to others) ??? I'm not submitting any of my replies for a doctorate thesis - so I could care less if I mipsel wards are had grammar miptaques hear are their. No dog in this fight. Moving on. "Out of sight, out of mind."

I place my hand on a Bible and swear to God and everything Holy - for the LONGEST time, I assumed these both to be the SAME PERSON. I don't think that anymore, I admit (only one of these two is on my "ignore list"). But I agree, @Jaguarek62, the "always right" persona is nearly identical between these two. Of course, I also say that as a person whom my own father accuses me of always being right and I always return, "Apple didn't fall far from the tree?" or "Pot? Kettle?" and we chuckle and move on.
